Pulpit AI is a sermon-to-content platform for pastors and church teams who want a Sunday message to keep discipling people all week.^1 Upload a sermon recording, audio file, or document, and it produces more than twenty resources drawn from that message: captioned social clips, small group discussion guides, daily devotionals, blog posts, weekly recap emails, summaries, and transcripts.^1
You review the transcript, key points, and Scripture references, then share the finished pieces through social channels, small groups, email, or your website.^1 The sermon assistant chats against your sermon to surface openers, metaphors, applications, historical references, and related Scripture for prep.^1 Churches already on Subsplash can generate the same resources from any media item in the Dashboard without uploading again.^1
Longtime friends Michael Whittle and Jake Sweetman created Pulpit AI, and it was released on July 22, 2024.^3 Whittle enrolled in Bible college out of high school and cofounded Cathedral Church in Los Angeles in 2015, where Sweetman serves as senior pastor.^3 Whittle has said the aim is a lasting effect from sermons pastors spend up to 15 hours preparing and usually preach once, and that Pulpit AI is not building a product to write a pastor's whole sermon.^3 Subsplash acquired Pulpit AI on December 2, 2024, and Whittle now serves as its VP of AI.^3
Subsplash says more than 5,000 churches are already using Pulpit AI.^5 Southeastern University provides Pulpit AI to students in its Barnett College of Ministry and Theology, where faculty and students join research projects, product testing, and an annual AI seminar.^6 Access is subscription-based after a free trial with two free uploads and no credit card required.^7 There is no official App Store or Play listing; pastors use the product on the web.
