60 working previews of Columbia, SC church AI assistants are already built and live. Each answers only from that church's own website and sermons. $99–$500/mo.
If you lead a church in the Columbia, South Carolina area and you are looking at AI assistants, check before you buy anything: 60 working previews of Columbia-area church assistants are already built and live. Each one was built from that church's own public website and published sermons, and each one answers real questions today — these are previews waiting for the church to claim them, not customer accounts.
Here is why we build ahead of time. A demo trained on somebody else's church tells you nothing about how an assistant handles your service times, your ministries, your pastor's teaching. A preview built on your actual content does. So instead of pitching first, we build first and let the church judge the real thing.
Ask it when Sunday services start, where kids check in, how to join a small group, how giving works — it answers from the church's website. Ask what the pastor taught on forgiveness, and it answers from the sermons themselves, with a link to the exact minute in the recording. That sermon layer is called Canon, and it is part of every plan, not a separate add-on.
The assistant answers only from the church's own website and sermons. When the answer is not in that content, it says so and hands the person to a real human at the church. It never invents an answer. That is the whole idea — the front door of your church, always open, and it will not make things up about you.
It also works in Spanish. The assistant detects English or Spanish automatically and answers in the language the person used.
Every incoming message is checked for signs of acute distress before any AI response is generated. Messages that show crisis route straight to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and the Crisis Text Line — in English and in Spanish. This routing is hard-coded. The AI does not get a vote, and there is no setting that turns it off.
If someone messages your church at 2 a.m. in real trouble, that is the moment this tool matters most, and it is the moment the AI steps aside for the right help.
Looking at a preview costs nothing, and no Columbia church has been charged anything for the previews that exist. If you claim your church's assistant, pricing goes by weekend attendance:
Every plan is the same full assistant: Canon sermon citations, crisis routing, English and Spanish, the human handoff. Attendance is the only variable. There is a 30-day free trial, a money-back guarantee, and you can cancel anytime. Billing is monthly.
The full pricing breakdown is at /answers/how-much-does-a-church-ai-chatbot-cost.
Where did the content come from? From what your church already published — your public website and your posted sermons. Nothing private, nothing scraped from members, nothing from the open internet.
What if the preview gets something wrong? That is part of why previews exist. You see exactly how the assistant handles your content before a dollar changes hands, and content problems get fixed before anything goes on your site. Claiming is what puts the assistant on your own website, in your hands, with your staff receiving the handoffs.
Does it replace a person? No. It routes prayer requests, visit questions, and anything it cannot answer to a real person at your church. It is built to hand off, not to pretend.
What does it say right now if someone finds it? A preview speaks only from your published content and carries the same crisis routing and same refusal to invent answers as a claimed assistant.
Start at askchurch.ai and see whether your church is among the 60 Columbia previews. Read /docs for what is included and how a claim works. And if your church is not in the set yet, an assistant can still be built the same way — from your website and your sermons.
It may. 60 working previews of Columbia-area church assistants are already built and live, each one built from that church's own public website and published sermons. Looking at a preview costs nothing — start at askchurch.ai to see whether your church is among them.

No. The assistant answers only from the church's own website and sermons, and when the answer is not in that content, it says so and hands the person to a real human at the church. It never invents an answer.
