Custom AI chatbots for churches and ministries, built on a curated Christian apologetics corpus to answer life's hardest questions about faith.
Gospel Bots gives ministries a white-label AI chatbot they can embed on their website — one that draws from the Bible, the Church Fathers, and works by both classic and contemporary Christian apologists to provide biblically grounded answers in nearly 200 languages.^1 Whether someone is quietly wrestling with doubt at 2 a.m. or a missions team needs real-time translation, the platform meets seekers where they are with theologically sound responses backed by cited sources.^2
Built by the team behind The Apologist Project, a nonprofit founded by Jake Carlson dedicated to using technology for Christian apologetics and evangelism, Gospel Bots was born when the AI agents Jake created for the project started drawing more attention than anything else.^3 The platform has already answered over 80,000 spiritual questions across 100+ countries, facilitating more than 30,000 meaningful conversations pointing people to Christ.^1
Ministries can customize everything — their own content corpus aligned with their doctrinal preferences, starter questions, branding, and a call to action that connects users to real people for deeper discipleship. The Nicene Creed serves as the doctrinal baseline, celebrating orthodox Christian unity while respecting denominational diversity on secondary issues.^4
