Just got a chance to look at this. It's very impressive even if still a 
prototype.

I would say I would not, mainly because at this point I feel more interest 
(and more capable of dealing with) primary texts and I want interaction 
with the actual vidwans of today and the historical past.

I can see this app being useful to the beginner or outside bewildered by 
the ocean of Vedantic mannan.  But AI (at least currently) is just a 
mirror.  there is the danger of narcissism if one doesn't get "pushback" 
and I don't think an app can really provide this.
