Today we’re excited to announce the early beta launch of Gloo AI Chat, our conversational AI designed to amplify trusted voices and deliver answers deeply rooted in Christian principles. Gloo AI Chat is more than an AI tool; we envision it as a flexible, extensible AI platform that will allow every organization, denomination, church or creator, in the faith ecosystem to build their own unique, values-aligned chat service – grounded in their specific content, beliefs, and theology.

Building this type of AI isn't easy. It demands careful balance, nuance, and deep partnership. We've spent years working closely with faith-based organizations, theologians, and experts to develop critical guardrails – and that work continues. For example, Gloo AI Chat is trained to respond with empathy and care, especially in sensitive or challenging situations. It is intentionally designed to resist misuse, such as generating harmful or radical outputs.

Another challenge we've tackled (and continue to refine) is reflecting the diversity of thought within the Christian and faith community. Churches, denominations, and various networks often differ significantly in their perspectives, even while sharing foundational Biblical texts. Gloo AI Chat works to carefully navigate these differences and provides personalized answers firmly grounded in scripture.

Why Gloo AI Chat?

Our Executive Chair and Head of Technology, Pat Gelsinger, said it best:

“Today’s AI models mostly focus on preventing harm or completing tasks, but at Gloo, we believe AI can and should do much more. Our mission is to develop trustworthy, values-aligned AI that actively helps people flourish in their relationships, faith, and lives. The beta release of Gloo AI Chat is our first step toward reshaping AI as a tool for genuine human flourishing.”

To create a connected AI platform that every parent, student of faith, pastor, leader, ministry, and network can not only use, but can also shape, requires a unique approach. That’s why our team has spent so much time cultivating one of the world’s largest libraries of trusted, faith-aligned resources, which can be used to help answer life’s biggest questions (using what’s called a Retrieval-Augmented Generation or RAG approach), ensuring source alignment. RAG is important because it’s been proven to help reduce hallucinations and strengthen accuracy of AI generated responses.  

As a result, Gloo AI Chat brings a fresh perspective to conversational AI. What Makes Gloo AI Chat Different?

• Values-aligned Conversations: Dynamic, personalized responses driven by your profile and selected faith alignment.

• Trustworthy Sources: Answers backed by respected pastors, theologians, authors, and leaders.

• Safe and Respectful: Regular updates maintain accuracy, trustworthiness, and alignment with human flourishing.

Human Flourishing and the AI Gap

"Human flourishing" might sound academic, but it's simply about helping people thrive across various dimensions of life: character, relationships, happiness, meaning, health, finances, and faith. Recent research, including our own Flourishing AI (FAI) Benchmark, shows that mainstream AI LLMs struggle to support deeper human needs, often missing ethical, spiritual, and relational dimensions. 

What if AI could help reintroduce the world to God's perfect design for flourishing — in marriage, purpose, finances, or relationships? Imagine harnessing one of the most powerful technologies ever created to genuinely help people become all they were born to be.

Our goal for Gloo AI Chat is to bridge the gap in similar AI tools, addressing concerns like, "Do I trust this answer?" Built on scientific principles of flourishing and grounded in Biblical sources, every interaction is intended to foster genuine growth, connection, and purpose.

Our vision is clear. We're creating technology that actively promotes well-being and flourishing. As Gloo CEO Scott Beck says, "Shaping technology as a force for good through a values-aligned chat service enables us to serve those leaders and organizations who serve others. Gloo AI Chat embodies our commitment to supporting their purpose and helping them scale their impact across faith-driven communities.”

We’re building this for you and with you. Your feedback is essential, especially now during our beta. What resonates with you? What could we improve? What features do you want to see? What APIs will you need to make your own unique AI chat service?
