Urim: The Ask (almost) Anything engine

Explore biblical exegesis, theology, history, recovery, psychology, mysticism, and philosophy.

Checking your private session…

This is an interactive search tool under development. It queries a backend database built from my book, blog posts, essays, curriculum frameworks (including Every Human’s Journey), and a curated set of texts and reference materials.

As an active prototype, responses can still miss the mark or hallucinate connections—let me know what breaks. If it comes up empty or way off, or you have a question you’d like me to address personally, use the form below to submit one.

Recent Updates:

Sitewide knowledge integration

The site now uses a shared knowledge database to make its ideas easier to explore in context and expand search results. Across articles, selected theological, psychological, and philosophical terms can appear as lightweight hover cards with concise definitions and links to deeper material—without interrupting the reading experience or turning every page into a glossary. Search results now include a snippet from a vector search of the knowledge base.

Supporter integrations

Patreon connection is now in place, establishing the secure account foundation for supporter-linked access. The next phase is membership synchronization, tier mapping, and supporter controls—so existing Patreon tiers can connect cleanly to future platform benefits without changing how supporters already participate. More Patreon perks coming.

Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is now live through a transparent community pool that helps cover the small, real-time cost of Ask Anything responses and knowledge retrieval. Contributions are processed securely through Stripe, recorded in an auditable ledger, and the system automatically pauses access if the shared pool runs too low; Patreon support, community-pool contributions, and administrative access remain distinct.

A Community-Funded Project

* Crowdfund UI under development

Running an advanced retrieval system requires dedicated backend infrastructure. To keep this tool freely accessible, the engine operates on a community-funded model via Stripe integration. If the shared compute fund is depleted, processing pauses until the pot is replenished.

$40+/initial
Knowledge Graph & Database: This cost more than I planned and is paused right now. Initial vectorization is done, and graph structuring is just past 50%, which took $40 in processing and testing.
$25+/mon*
Server & Accounts: An upcoming upgrade to Render costs $25/month to improve speed and maintain operational stability. Other accounts, like Supabase, can be upgraded too, if and when the Community Fund is able.
$.01-.02/prompt
Compute per Prompt: Each Claude AI query costs approximately $0.01 to $0.02.

Active Features

  • Advanced Semantic Routing: Utilizes Anthropic’s Claude models (Sonnet and Haiku) paired with Voyage AI reranking to analyze queries and retrieve the most relevant framework contexts.
  • Live WordPress Integration: Automatically searches the live website via REST API if the existing vector context is insufficient.
  • Verified Private Histories: Secure Supabase authentication allows users to log in, save, and manage ongoing conversations.
  • Email Transcripts: Send clean, formatted conversation records to yourself or a friend via Resend, complete with source links.
    (Social media sharing is being considered)
  • Efficiency & Protection: Cloudflare Turnstile blocks automated bot abuse, while a semantic caching layer instantly serves previously answered questions to conserve the community fund.

Development Roadmap

Things in progress & ideas coming down the pike.

  • Strict Source Resolution: Transitioning to an approved-only link policy to guarantee citation accuracy and eliminate outdated or hallucinated URLs.
  • Contextual Image Extraction: Reworking media logic to pull highly relevant images directly from the body text of articles, keeping featured media restricted to link thumbnails.
  • Stop and Edit Controls: Implementing direct cancellation controls to halt generation mid-stream, alongside a feature to safely edit previous prompts without corrupting conversation history.
  • Improved Logic, Relational Map, & Fine-Tuning: Personally write responses to commonly asked questions, expand the logical framework, add Easter Eggs, and possibly give the bot a faux personality (“Urim“?).
  • Attributed Wikipedia Fallbacks: Integrating verified Wikipedia images as a secondary visual source, complete with strict creator licensing and attribution.
  • Knowledge Graph Completion: Finalizing data extraction, cleaning some malformed legacy chunks, and deploying a durable disambiguation architecture for stronger conceptual linking across the corpus.
  • Site-wide Widget: Implement a site-wide widget to answer questions, provide more context, etc. *Possible Patreon perk.
  • AI-generated Blog Recordings:
    Using the same backend, recording enough sample recordings using existing blogs, to automatically generate audio versions of every published blog.
