TheoSumma is a Scripture-rooted AI companion for serious theological study — letting Christians converse with AI personas of history's greatest theologians, work through Bible passages verse-by-verse, and explore systematic theology across Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant traditions.^1
Founded in Amman, Jordan, TheoSumma launched in 2023 as the first Christian AI platform in the MENA region. Every response is anchored to primary sources — book, chapter, and verse for Scripture; treatise and section number for the Fathers and Doctors — so users verify against the text rather than taking the assistant's word for it.^2 It draws from tens of thousands of verified theological texts across 229+ specialized knowledge domains, available on iOS, Android, and the web in over twenty languages.^3
The core experience is free forever for personal study: Bible Chat, AI Experts, biblical figures, systematic theology, and the Church's thought. Paid tiers unlock the Expert model, speech-to-text, image recognition, and PDF analysis.^4
What sets TheoSumma apart is the depth of its named surfaces. AI Experts includes forty-plus theologians — Augustine, Aquinas, Chrysostom, Calvin, Luther, Barth, Newman, Lewis, the Cappadocians — each trained on its own primary corpus, with an Arena feature for comparing two thinkers side-by-side.^5 The Deception Detector flags logical fallacies and mishandled Scripture in sermons or social clips; Deep Research runs multi-step investigations; Confession Partner walks through conscience-examination around the Ten Commandments; Worship Corner gathers liturgical resources across traditions.^1
A 17-section Christian AI Ethics framework affirms Scripture as "inspired, inerrant, and authoritative," commits to the grammatical-historical hermeneutic, upholds the Nicene, Apostles', and Chalcedonian creeds as settled orthodoxy, and explicitly positions AI as a servant — never an oracle.^6 A separate TheoSumma Lite Android app extends the experience with a privacy-first design powered by TheoSumma's own AI.^7
Built by Dani Samarneh (CEO) and Bisharah Estephan (CTO) through The First Model in Jordan — a small team of Christian engineers, theologians, and researchers, not venture-backed, not ad-supported.^2
