AI for Research

A practical, verification-first course for Bible students. Learn what AI can and cannot do for serious study across two interactive modules — meet the chatbots, prompt them well, build a personalised study Gem, match the right grounded tool to each research stage, and keep the one habit that protects your scholarship: always know what your tools are grounded in.

Who it's for

Bible and theology students, pastors, and lay teachers who want to use AI for research responsibly — no technical background needed.

What you'll learn

  • Use ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude and write clear, effective prompts
  • Explain why AI invents citations — and use the 'grounding spectrum' to judge any tool
  • Build a personalised study assistant with Gemini Gems, grounded with knowledge files
  • Match the right grounded tool to each stage of research
  • Run a fact-checking workflow on citations, quotes, and parsings
  • Use AI honestly for assignments, and handle bias and the spiritual side of AI use
