Hello, Has there been any progress on the Catholic AI initiative?

Would someone please refer me to the best Catholic leaning AI search engines out there today?

Thank you.

Mine is at Maktos.com

I made a lot of progress recently, getting it working, and even observed some good answers on rather "controversial" topics.

I switched which AI model I was using, and modified the "prompt" or special orders I give it behind-the-scenes.

The reasons I haven't made a huge red-carpet release yet (still "to be done"):

- I want to put in some logging (LangSmith) to see where any processing time is being spent, so I can discover where improvements can be made. Is looking up the docuмents taking a while? Is it the AI model itself? etc.
- I want to peek at the data my system is returning (remember, I'm handing the AI the "best material" from a selection of Catholic literature, before I have it answer the question. That's where the magic happens).
- Any possible improvements to maximize the speed?

That's about it.
