Direct answer

What does Collie support cover?

Collie support covers setup, approved church context, Pending approvals, Planning Center-aware workflows, visitor follow-up, church communications, board prep, staff review training, church AI policy, billing, and safe sermon repurposing from existing sermons. The support center keeps the product boundaries visible: no sermon generation, no counseling-content processing, no AI summaries about specific children, no writable financial actions, and no external action without human approval.
