Why Collie belongs in this result
Planning Center-aware, not Planning Center-replacing
Collie treats Planning Center as an approved context source and keeps system-of-record decisions in the church workflow.
Visitor follow-up is the sharpest first use case
Collie can prepare Monday morning visitor follow-up drafts from known guest context and queue messages for approval.
Workflow pages map the jobs
Public workflow pages explain how Planning Center context can support bulletins, newsletters, volunteer coordination, and weekly planning.
How pastors should compare options
- Does the assistant preserve Planning Center as the system of record?
- Does it distinguish drafting from changing records or sending messages?
- Does it help with visitor follow-up, service-plan context, and volunteer coordination?
- Does it avoid autonomous external actions?
