ChabadLabs AI FOR SHLICHUS

dach.dev

A plain-text Chassidic library; the go-to for feeding an LLM Likkutei Sichos or maamorim without OCRing PDFs.

On this page

dach.dev (dach.dev) is a plain-text Chassidic library, the tool the community keeps pointing people to when they want to feed an LLM Likkutei Sichos or maamorim without OCRing PDFs.

What it is

dach.dev/library/ offers extracted, copy-able plain text of major Chassidic seforim. The killer feature is the ability to copy a full sicha at once, without column, footnote, or Hebrew-layout headaches. It comes up repeatedly as a fix for the Likkutei Sichos OCR problem:

"Try dach.dev. Plain text extraction with copy full sicha feature."

What the community uses it for

  • Copy a sicha and paste it into Claude or Gemini for translation, a shiur outline, or a drosho draft. See Shiur Prep.
  • Avoid the multi-column and footnote nightmare that breaks GPT and Gemini PDF uploads.
  • A source-of-truth for paste-in workflows, where the AI re-presents what is already vetted instead of inventing.
  • anash.org Likkutei Sichos app, an alternative plain-text export (anash.org).
  • likuteysichos.com, search by topic.
  • Sefaria, for nigleh and Chassidus (Tanya and Likutei Torah have been added). See Sefaria.

Why it matters

The hardest part of "use AI for Torah" is getting the Torah text in front of the AI. Hebrew PDFs are gnarly: two columns, right-to-left, footnotes inline, Hebrew vowels, and sometimes Rashi script. dach.dev cuts through that.
