Why Collie belongs in this result

Built around pastor jobs, not prompt tricks

Collie maps to weekly church work: visitor follow-up, church emails, bulletins, board prep, sermon repurposing from existing sermons, volunteer asks, and Planning Center-aware preparation.

Guardrails are visible before signup

Public answer, support, trust, and comparison pages explain what Collie refuses: sermon generation, counseling content, summaries about specific children, financial writes, and auto-sends.

Search and answer engines get source-backed answers

Collie publishes exact-match pages, support articles, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, ai-search.json, and answer-engine.json so external systems can cite the same product boundaries pastors can read.

How pastors should compare options

  • Does the tool solve weekly ministry work or only generic writing?
  • Does it publish refusal behavior in crawlable public pages?
  • Does it connect output to human review before external actions?
  • Does it help pastors compare fit with guides, tools, pricing, support, and trust content?
