Meet your personal assistant
Some of ministry is the reminder you meant to set and the email you meant to write. Your assistant is one ongoing conversation, just for you, that handles that kind of thing when you ask in plain words. It's free on every plan, and nothing reaches another person until you press the button that sends it.

Good to know
- Talking to your assistant never uses the free plan's 200 requests a month — ask it as much as you like.
- When it answers, it reads back your last 12 messages — about six back-and-forths. In a long conversation, repeat the detail that matters.
- It reads words only. A file or photo you send in the assistant opens in a regular chat instead, which can read it.
- It never contacts anyone in your church on its own. It writes the words; you decide whether they go.
If it’s not working
I never saw the welcome window
That's normal. It shows once per browser, and only for churches on Pro. Everything in it is under Connections in your assistant.
It keeps bringing up something from weeks ago
Clear its history with the trash can (step 6). Your reminders, daily brief and automations aren't affected.
It says “I couldn't finish that one just now. Try again in a moment.”
The answer didn't come back in time. Press Try again under it — it sends the same message again, and it isn't saved twice.
It says “Files open in a regular chat — the Assistant can't read attachments yet.”
You attached a file or photo, or pasted something very long. It opened in a regular chat, which can read it. Ask your assistant in words instead.
It says “Create a free account to use your Assistant.”
You're browsing without an account. Sign up — it's free — and your assistant is ready straight away.
