Why TruGuide exists
Built to point you to Scripture, not to flatter you
Most AI chatbots are designed to be agreeable. They tend to tell you what you want to hear, soften hard truths, and steer clear of anything that might offend. That works fine for drafting an email. It falls short when you are wrestling with sin, grief, doubt, or a difficult passage of Scripture.
TruGuide is built to point people to God’s Word. When a question touches faith or morality, it answers from Scripture and orthodox Christian teaching, clearly and with grace, the way a wise friend who knows the Bible would. It won’t call something good just because you hope it is, and it won’t be harsh or condemning either.

What Bible translation and theological perspective does TruGuide use?
TruGuide is an AI assistant that answers from an evangelical, orthodox Protestant perspective: Scripture is the inspired Word of God, salvation is by grace through faith in Christ, and the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds mark the boundaries of orthodoxy. Where faithful Christians disagree, such as on baptism or women in ministry, it explains the main views fairly instead of picking a side for you. When it quotes a verse word for word, the text comes from an exact King James Version file, not from the AI's memory. It can point you to other translations by reference so you can read them in your own Bible.
Is TruGuide a replacement for church or a pastor?
No. TruGuide is a study tool, not a shepherd. It is meant to point you back to Scripture and to your local church, where you can worship, be known, and be cared for by real people. For pastoral care, lean on your pastor and church family, and a licensed counselor can help too. TruGuide is not an emergency service: if you are thinking about suicide or are in danger, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911. See crisis resources.
Can TruGuide make mistakes?
Yes. Like any AI, it can get things wrong, including Scripture references. Be like the Bereans in Acts 17:11: open your Bible and check what you read. TruGuide works best as a starting point for your own study.
Is my data private?

Your account is stored securely with our authentication provider, your messages are sent to Anthropic's API to generate responses, and your conversation history is stored in your account so it syncs across all your devices. Images you share are not saved to your history, and you can delete any conversation at any time. Read the Privacy Policy.

Yes. First-time subscribers get a 7-day free trial of Faithful or Shepherd. A card is required to start it. After 7 days it becomes a paid subscription at the price you chose: $9.99/month or $99.99/year for Faithful, $15.99/month or $159.99/year for Shepherd. Cancel anytime before your trial ends and you won't be charged. There is one free trial per person.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time from the Manage billing link in the app. You keep access to your paid features through the end of your current billing period (the month or year you paid for).
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. TruGuide works in any modern browser on your phone, tablet, or computer, and the layout is designed for small screens.
Can I ask about everyday things, not just faith?
Yes. General mode can help with cooking, technology, history, parenting, finances, relationships, and more. It answers everyday questions directly and brings faith into the conversation when the topic calls for it.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
General-purpose chatbots are built to serve every worldview at once, so they often hedge on moral and spiritual questions. TruGuide is built on Anthropic's Claude models with instructions written specifically to answer from Scripture and orthodox Christian teaching, with dedicated modes for Bible study, devotionals, and sermon preparation.
