Summary

BibleChat.ai has developed an AI platform called AiForTheChurch.org that enables Christian organizations to align custom LLMs to their biblical doctrine.  This is in response to Beyond Boundaries. This matters to the entire Christian AI ecosystem because Trust is Essential when it comes to using generative AI for the Church, and proprietary models built by secular corporations cannot be trusted to generate content in line with Christian biblical doctrine.

Full Description


We chose the 'Beyond Boundaries' challenge because AiForTheChurch.org and our ChristianGPT models represent a groundbreaking approach to harnessing AI for the global Church. Instead of being limited by existing secular models, we are forging a new path by introducing a transparent, community-driven Christian language model called ChristianGPT. This endeavor pushes the boundaries of what AI can achieve for the Church, providing a foundation that is both revolutionary and deeply rooted in Christian values. ChristianGPT not only answers the immediate needs of the Church but also anticipates the future of faith-based technology, laying a strong foundation for generations to come.

We have built:

• a tool for training doctrinally aligned LLMs in two lines of code, based on open-source models
• a tool for generating training data for LLMs based on your beliefs: just upload a link to your YouTube channels and/or a PDF of your articles of faith or other text content. Our website generates the training data, you have full control and can edit it accordingly
• any Christian organization can train their model and deploy it, again, in one line of code, using our OpenAI-style API
• these are part of a broader community initiative we started this weekend that we call aiforthechurch.org, a platform for organizing open-source Christian AI
