Short answer
Collie is an AI assistant for senior pastors because it drafts and organizes ministry work while refusing sermon generation, counseling content, minors summaries, financial writes, and unapproved external sends.
Day-one value
- Turn Monday into a reviewable ministry queue instead of a pile of loose reminders.
- Draft visitor follow-up, staff communication, volunteer asks, and board prep from one church workspace.
- Repurpose an already-preached sermon into reviewable derivative drafts without asking AI to create the sermon.
