Ekkle Assistant
AI that runs your church — not just writes about it. The Assistant uses tools to update your app: events, pages, rosters, notifications, and more.
What it does
Read-only AI vs. Ekkle Assistant
Many tools answer questions or chart your data. Ekkle focuses on actions your team would otherwise click through by hand.

|---|---|---|
| Events & pages | Copy suggestions only | Create and update events, pages, and home blocks |
| Push notifications | Rarely supported | Send push alerts to your congregation |
| Volunteer rosters | Rarely supported | Propose rosters — lock, swap, regenerate, apply |
| Sermon & media | Repurposing and social copy | Search transcripts and jump to the right screen |
| Reports & insights | Charts and filters (read-only) | Operational actions — not just dashboards |
| Where it runs | External chat, mostly read-only | Built into Ekkle — changes in your tenant |
