AI Assistants
Connect the AI assistant you already use to Churchease, then ask in plain language who joined this month or how attendance has looked. It can only read, and you choose what it sees.
You already know the questions. Who is new and needs a welcome? Whose birthday is coming up? Is attendance holding steady? With AI Assistants, your staff ask Claude or ChatGPT in their own words, and the assistant looks up the answer in Churchease. It sits alongside Shepherd's Briefing and AI Giving Narrative as one more way Churchease helps you notice your people and care for them.
You do not need to know where a report lives or which filter to choose. Type your question in plain language and the assistant finds the answer in your church's records. It is a quicker way to get to the part of the week that matters, which is the people.
There are five areas an assistant can read: People, Groups, Events, Attendance, and Giving totals. Each staff member picks which of those to share when they connect, and nobody can share more than their own staff role already allows. Churchease checks that access again on every single question.
An assistant can look things up. It cannot change, send, or delete anything in Churchease. Giving is shared as totals only, by fund, by month, or by payment method, and never by individual donor, whatever is asked.
Nothing happens out of sight. Churchease lists every question an assistant asks: what it looked at, when, and whether it was answered or refused. The list is kept for a year, and it records the filters that were used, never the answers themselves.
Open AI Assistants in the Churchease sidebar on the web and copy the address shown there.

No keys, no settings to configure. Step by step guide
We would rather you hear the limits from us, in plain words.
What the assistant reads goes to the AI app you connected. It is handled under your own account with that company, not by Churchease. Share only the areas you are comfortable with.
Check important numbers in Churchease. The assistant summarises. The figures come from Churchease, but for anything that matters, such as a report to your board, confirm it in Churchease itself.
Included with paid plans. AI Assistants is not part of the free Starter plan or the free trial.
For staff, on the web. Staff connect from the Churchease web app. Members do not use it, and it is not in the mobile app.
You use your own Claude or ChatGPT account. In ChatGPT, this needs a paid ChatGPT plan with Developer mode switched on.
Yes. Staff can connect either Claude or ChatGPT to Churchease and ask about their church in plain language. You use your own account with that AI app. In ChatGPT it needs a paid ChatGPT plan with Developer mode switched on.
No. It is read only. It cannot change, send, or delete anything in Churchease, so the worst a badly worded question can do is give you an answer you did not need.
No. Giving is shared as totals only, by fund, month, or payment method. It never shows individual donors, whatever is asked, and it never sees prayer requests, testimonies, notes, or form responses.
What the assistant reads is sent to the AI app you connected, under your own account with that company. That is why you choose which areas to share, and why we suggest sharing only what you are comfortable with. Every question is listed in Churchease, and you can disconnect at any time.
AI Assistants is included with paid plans. It is not part of the free Starter plan or the free trial. It is for church staff on the web app, so members do not use it and it is not in the mobile app.
