SaaS edition
The Great Books Semantic Engine
Cloud-backed comparative philosophy search with multilingual retrieval, auditable pairings, and graph-based concept analysis.
Ask for self-overcoming, grace, ritual, or awakening. The engine returns 1-5 Western/Eastern pairs, concept percentages, explanations, and a graph of the exact analysis.
What changes now
From static prototype to login-gated cloud analysis
This version is structured for Vercel deployment, Supabase accounts, Stripe billing, Together-hosted open-weight models, and deterministic concept scoring.
- Prompt the engine and receive 1-5 matched passage pairs.
- See self-cultivation, ultimate reality, grace, compassion, nature, and virtue percentages.
- Get concise explanations for each pair and concept score.
- Inspect a graph payload tied to the exact analysis.
Product shape
The cloud engine you described
Cloud inference
Hosted open-weight models
Use a hosted Llama-class model for explanations and multilingual embeddings for retrieval without asking scholars to run GPUs themselves.
Research workflow
Prompt to pairs, percentages, and graph
Each analysis returns 1-5 matched pairs, six concept percentages, exact explanations, and a graph payload for visual inspection.
Mandarin-aware
Original-language visibility stays intact
Wenyan passages remain visible in the result set so translation does not erase conceptual nuance.
SaaS controls
Login, metering, and billing hooks
Supabase handles accounts and usage records while Stripe gates plans after the free analysis allowance is exhausted.
Workbench
Prompt, retrieve, explain, graph
The workbench now runs against the live cloud stack when you are signed in, while still preserving a deterministic fallback path for resilience and debugging.
Run an analysis to see pairs, percentages, and graph output.
