Six ways to read an answer: choose who it is written for

When you ask SeferAI for a synthesis, you can now choose who the answer is written for. Open the Style menu next to Synthesis and pick one of six:

• Essay (the default): a written study - the answer in brief, the background, the sources, where they agree and disagree.
• Scholarly: study notes - the reference first, the key words quoted, disputes stated, no prose around it.
• Teacher: a lesson plan - goals, key terms, the sources in teaching order with questions for the class, and the common misreadings.
• Beginner: for someone new to the texts - plain words, every Hebrew and Aramaic term explained, the few sources that matter most, and what to read next.
• Darshan: material for a dvar Torah - one idea built from the sources, step by step, with a draft ready to speak.
• Children: to read aloud to children aged 8 to 12 - true to the sources, with nothing frightening, and questions to talk about together. A note for the grown-up says what was left out.

Every style uses the same sources from Sefaria's library and the same rule: nothing quoted from memory, every claim cited.

Two more changes came from a rabbinic scholar's reading of our answers. Essays now begin with the substance - no welcome, no closing thanks, no section on practical application unless you ask for one. And when your question names one collection - "what does the Talmud say about...", the Mishnah, the Tanakh, the Zohar, the siddur - SeferAI searches only that collection and says so above the answer.

The Style menu is on the website now and comes to the iPhone and iPad app in the next release.
