Definition
A Planning Center AI assistant uses Planning Center context, such as people, services, volunteers, or visitor records, to help prepare church workflows for human review.
Why it matters
Generic AI can draft words, but Planning Center-aware work depends on which service, person, volunteer gap, or visitor record the authenticated church can access.
Collie's boundary
Collie treats Planning Center as context for reviewable drafts. It does not make external changes without approval.
Related questions
Does a Planning Center AI assistant replace Planning Center?
No. Planning Center remains the system of record. Collie is a workflow layer beside it.
Why not paste Planning Center data into generic AI?
Church data needs tenant boundaries, approvals, and refusal rules rather than ad hoc copying into a generic prompt.
