PLS-SEM on seminr

I built a PLS-SEM GUI for the most famous r package “seminr”.
This is to make PLS-SEM more user friendly and accessible rather than have the 100 case cap on SmartPLS and subscription
Try it out at metis.emend.it.com.
Test it and let me know your feedback.
The feedback button is in the app.
We are also working on CB-SEM using Lavaan and inferential statistics so that no subscription for SPSS and academics becomes free..

Supports are welcome

Hey y’all!

I built a searchable AI librarian for Sikh literature. It’s free to use and still in early development.

The SikhLibrarian is a RAG-based research tool built on a dataset of 758 million words across Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Farsi, and English texts. It covers Sikh manuscripts, philosophical texts, and historical literature spanning 500 years.

You can use it two ways:

Research mode: for deeper academic queries with full source citations in Chicago Manual of Style format.

Learn mode: for anyone new to Sikhi who wants accessible answers grounded in actual Sikh literature, not Wikipedia summaries.

Every answer traces back to a specific source, so you can verify what you are reading.

This is not a finished product. It is open to everyone now because I want real feedback from real users, especially people who know this literature well enough to catch where it falls short.

If you use it, please tell me:

- Where it gave you a wrong or incomplete answer
- What texts or topics you wish it covered
- What would make it more useful for your research or learning
