Vanipedia:Methodology for AI-Assisted Articles

Our Editorial Methodology: AI-Assisted, Human-Verified

The Mission

Vanipedia is dedicated to building a comprehensive encyclopedia of Srila Prabhupada’s teachings. While our transcripts and quote pages remain strictly human-curated, to achieve the monumental task of summarizing thousands of categories of Vani (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 Srila Prabhupada 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 Srila Prabhupada. 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 conversation, letter, or book.

Your Guarantee

If you read it here, it is anchored in the Vani. We use technology to extend our reach, but our consciousness remains fixed on the order of Srila Prabhupada.
