AI Research Assistant - Changes to sources it uses during a chat (via the Banker Box)
Hello FamilySearch Community,
I wanted to share some feedback and suggestions regarding the AI Research Assistant and how it handles sources:
- View All Sources Used – The AI Research Assistant shows all sources it uses during a chat (via the Banker Box). This is helpful, but it would be even better to have the ability to remove new sources that do not belong to the person. For example, see ID K64L-K3L.
- Source Titles – It would be helpful to have an option to use the titles of the sources attached to the person. Currently, FamilySearch often has multiple titles for the same source (default title, changed by guests, indexed title, etc.)
- Sorting Options – Give users the option to sort sources by date or other criteria to make reviewing them easier.
- Viewed Source Links – It would improve usability if source links changed color once they were viewed, so users can quickly see which sources they have already checked.
- Be able to refresh the source list after changes have been made on the person page.
These features would make part of AI Research Assistant more efficient and reduce the amount of time it takes review the sources it uses.
Thank you for considering this feedback! Please add your comments.

@ChrisPetersen Thank you so much for sharing your ideas! I’d encourage you to post them separately in the Suggest an Idea section of the FamilySearch Community. If you include your research, details, and any extra information, it will really help others evaluate your idea thoroughly. That’s the best place to recommend new features or additions to FamilySearch.
