Use the concierge's specialist assistants

For some requests the concierge hands you to a specialist assistant with its own tools. It happens on its own when you ask about one of these subjects, or you can open a specialist directly. You need to be signed in.

Free for every signed-in member

Prayer & care helps you put a prayer or care request into words and send it to the people you choose: only your group's pastor and leaders, your whole group, or your church's prayer and care team where it has one. You can share it anonymously, mark it urgent, and ask for someone to check in with you on a date from tomorrow up to 90 days ahead. It shows you a summary, and nothing is shared until you reply "yes" to confirm. People, not the assistant, read it and follow up. You need to be in a group; if you aren't, it can connect you with our team and point you to Connect. Open it at /concierge?agent=prayer_care.

Giving assistant prepares one-time and recurring gifts, totals what you've given and changes recurring gifts. Nothing is charged or changed until you approve it. See Give and manage gifts with the giving assistant.

With AI Concierge or Leadership

• Discipleship companion (open): drafts a personal reading plan with you, suggests scripture and logs your practices. Plans are private drafts under Your drafts on Discipleship. Commentary always cites an approved source; where traditions disagree it presents each view and asks a pastor to review. It can also suggest a mentor and send the request once you approve it.
• Getting started (open): asks a few questions and, once you confirm, saves your name, city, interests, languages and account type to your profile. Then it suggests next steps.
• ChurchBuilder companion (open): drafts a launch plan, group documents and first agendas for a group you're starting. It prepares drafts only; it doesn't approve, appoint or publish anything.
• Leader copilot (open): drafts agendas and follow-up tasks and summarizes recent activity for a group you lead. Messages, invitations, listing the group and role changes wait for your approval on your dashboard.

Without a paid plan, the general concierge still helps with these subjects, tells you where on the site to do them, and mentions that the specialist is part of a plan on Pricing.

Approving what a specialist prepares

When a specialist says something is waiting for your approval, go to your dashboard and open Approvals. Nothing happens until you approve it there.
