'Faith tech' industry taking off

The "faith tech" industry has exploded recently, with several apps featuring religious Chatbots dominating the Apple App Store, as reported by The New York Times.

The Bible chat app calls itself "the #1 faith app in the world" and features "the first AI in the world trained exclusively on the Bible."

Another app, Hallow, was the most downloaded app for a period in 2024 and features AI that answers questions based on Catholic teachings.

Chatwithgod.ai is a website that allows users to talk "directly" to God from the faith of their choosing and provides answers to a variety of questions that don't necessarily have to be faith-based.

People are using AI to communicate with God — but why?
