Some of us have hooked it up to Claude and it does seem to work quite well in terms of being able to support natural language queries to these archives (and I suspect expanding it to other VO-based archives should be quite easy). If you have any questions I'm not much of an expert myself, but I can forward them to people who are! https://github.com/NSF-Simons-CosmicAI-Institute/manna Cheers, Mark
