Pastors.ai is an AI tool designed specifically for churches, with the core purpose of turning a single sermon into a week's worth of usable content. Users only need to paste the YouTube link of the church's most recent sermon, and the AI will automatically complete content generation and send the results to email in about 30 minutes. The entire process requires no video editing experience, making it suitable for pastors without a media team.
Main capabilities include:
- Sermon clip generation: The AI automatically selects the best quotes from the sermon, centers them on the speaker, and automatically adds subtitles, music, and the church logo. Users only need to review and publish.
- Branded sermon page: Each sermon generates a shareable, editable standalone page with the church logo.
- One-click social publishing: Clips can be published to Facebook/Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, with automatically generated subtitles and hashtags.
- Study guides and questions: Provides discussion questions that can be used directly for small groups and Bible studies.
- Chatbot: Trained on the transcript of each sermon and can be used to build custom resources.
- Five-day devotional material: Extracts Monday through Friday reflections and Scripture from the sermon points.
- Quote graphics: Generates quote graphics for social media that can be ready before Sunday.
Usage is divided into three steps: paste the YouTube link, the AI processes automatically (about 30 minutes), and the results are sent to email. Users can also upload manuscript files (PDF, DOCX, PPT(X), RTF, or TXT, maximum 20MB), and the AI will generate resources just as it does with a YouTube link.
The chatbot is trained on the church website and the complete sermon archive, rather than the open internet, so visitors can get accurate answers, and pastors can also search their own sermon history. The chatbot can be embedded into the church website as a chat widget and is free for every church.
Applicable scenarios include: church community engagement, small group Bible study, social media content publishing, visitor Q&A, sermon history search, and more.
