Vanipedia:Methodology for AI-Assisted Articles

Our Editorial Methodology: AI-Assisted, Human-Verified

The Mission:

Vanipedia is dedicated to building a comprehensive encyclopedia of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s teachings. While our transcripts and quote pages remain strictly human-curated, to achieve the monumental task of summarizing thousands of categories of Vāni (instruction), we utilize advanced technology while maintaining absolute fidelity to the original source.

Our "Glass Window" Standard:

We do not use Artificial Intelligence to interpret or invent philosophy. We use it strictly as a scribe and a researcher. We serve as a transparent glass window that allows the reader to see Śrīla Prabhupāda clearly, without distortion.

The Creation Process:

Every AI-assisted article on this site undergoes a rigorous, three-step production process:

1. The Source (Verbatim Anchors): We begin with the Vaniquotes database—the verified, verbatim words of Śrīla Prabhupāda. These quotes serve as the unchangeable foundation for every article.
2. The Scribe (AI-Assisted Drafting): We employ advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on strict "Domain Alignment" protocols. The AI is instructed to summarize the verified quotes without adding external opinions, creating a structured narrative that links directly back to the source text.
3. The Guardian (Human Verification): Every article is reviewed by senior Vanipedia editors. We verify that the summary accurately reflects the mood and substance of the quotes. We ensure that every claim is substantiated by a link to the original book, lecture, conversation, or letter.

Your Guarantee:

All content presented in Vanipedia is anchored in Śrīla Prabhupāda's Vāni. We use technology to extend our reach, but our commitment is uncompromising: to present Śrīla Prabhupāda's words strictly as they are.
