Local-first Bible study workbench

Study Scripture with answers you can audit

BibleMind is not a generic Bible chatbot. It is a study workbench: grounded Ask with citation audit, Read and Compare with offline corpus packs, Passage Guide, Study Projects, and exportable Study Packs — with streaming receipts and honest limits on hosted AI.

Free: 10 new Ask submissions per day • Individual: expanded, server-bounded hosted allowance (see pricing)

Engines help you study; they do not speak for God. BibleMind is proprietary software — not open source.

What we optimize for

Inspectability, local text, and clear routing — instead of a fake-neutral “Christian GPT” voice.

Inspectable AI

Ask runs through evidence verification and answer citation audit. Unverified verse references are stripped or flagged before you rely on them — plus receipts you can read while the answer streams.

Local-first study text

Install corpus packs for deterministic Read, Compare, Concordance, and Lexicon without calling a model. Ask still needs connectivity for hosted or home inference — we do not claim “always offline Ask.”

Your key, your GPU, or bounded hosted AI

Optional BYOK and home endpoints (Ollama, LM Studio, OpenAI-compatible). Fallback policy is explicit — private prompts are not silently rerouted to BibleMind-hosted inference.

Tradition presets with receipts

Denomination and tradition presets shape Ask framing and show up in receipts. They are study lenses you choose — not official church statements or theological infallibility.

Bounded operator spend

Free and Individual are the only purchasable plans. Hosted usage is metered and capped — not sold as unlimited. We do not sell Church seats until org billing is real.

Scholar graph, honest provenance

Synopsis, variants, and witness records come with bibliographic limits — not a Logos-scale library replacement. Atlas voices are generated summaries; belief genealogy is curated-topic only.

How a grounded Ask run works

Multi-engine orchestration (engines 0–9) produces receipts you can inspect — we describe the pipeline, not mystique.

1

You ask in context

Passage, tradition preset, and provider routing (hosted, BYOK, or home) are visible in Settings — before and during the run.

2

Engines run with streaming receipts

Orchestration steps emit runtime receipts (safety filter, perspectives, synthesis, and related stages). You can follow progress instead of waiting on a black box.

3

Citation audit before you trust citations

The answer citation audit banner shows what was verified against your corpus and what was removed or flagged. Evidence panels tie claims back to scripture metadata where implemented.

4

Study offline on installed packs

Read, Compare, Concordance, and Lexicon can run deterministically from downloaded packs. That is separate from Ask, which needs a reachable model when you use AI features.

✓

You decide what to keep

Save to Study Projects, export diagnostics where available, and cross-check with Passage Guide and Compare. BibleMind aids study; it does not replace pastors, scholars, or Scripture itself.

What BibleMind actually does

Concrete, inspectable behavior — aligned with our public pricing and legal copy.

BibleMind is a local-first study workbench with inspectable Ask receipts — not a theological authority or unlimited AI companion.

  • Grounded Ask + citation audit

    Ask runs through evidence verification and answer citation audit; unverified verse refs are stripped or flagged before you rely on them (see docs/GROUNDED_ASK_CITATION_AUDIT.md).

  • Offline deterministic study

    Downloadable corpus packs power Read, Compare, Concordance, and Lexicon without a model call. Ask requires connectivity for hosted or home inference (docs/OFFLINE_AND_SYNC.md).

  • BYOK and home inference

    Optional OpenAI BYOK and Ollama/LM Studio/home OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Routing and fallback policy are explicit (never / ask / hosted / deterministic) — docs/PROVIDER_PORTABILITY_BYOK.md.

  • No silent private→hosted fallback

    Private and home prompts are not silently copied to BibleMind-hosted inference. Hosted fallback requires your chosen policy and confirmation when applicable.

  • Tradition presets (inspectable)

    Denomination and tradition presets shape Ask framing and receipts; they are user-selectable study lenses, not infallible church statements.

  • Bounded hosted AI

    Free and Individual are the only purchasable plans. Hosted usage is metered and capped — not sold as unlimited (docs/CHEAP_LAUNCH_AND_INSTITUTION_ECONOMICS.md).

  • Not theological authority

    Engines, evidence metadata, and receipts aid study; they do not replace Scripture, scholars, pastors, or your own judgment.

Free to try. Individual when hosted allowance is real.

Church and Seminary org billing is not for sale yet. Workspace Church/Congregation profiles in Settings are on-device study contexts, not seat licenses.
