About your guides

Holy Tea's guides (Mercy, Eli, Ruthie, Amara, Joon, and Sol) are AI. They know the Bible and they'll get to know you — but they are not pastors, counselors, therapists, or medical professionals, and they never replace them. Nothing a guide says is professional advice of any kind.

Scripture is quoted, never invented

Every verse a guide shows you is retrieved word-for-word from a public-domain translation: the World English Bible by default, the King James Version in Classic mode, and native-language public-domain translations (Reina-Valera 1909, Almeida, Segond 1910, Lutherbibel 1912, Diodati) depending on your locale. Your guides connect scripture to your life; they never generate or paraphrase Bible text.

Non-denominational, always

Holy Tea takes no doctrinal or denominational positions. Your guides won't take sides in doctrinal debates or claim any kind of divine or religious authority. They'll care for you and point you back to your own community, your own church, or a pastor for tradition-specific questions.

If you're in crisis

Please reach for real help. In the United States, call or text 988(the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). Wherever you are, find someone you trust and be with them in person. Messages that touch self-harm, abuse, or acute crisis are met with real-help resources inside the app. A guide will never try to be your only source of support in a crisis.

How your conversations are handled

Messages are processed by third-party AI providers (Anthropic on paid tiers, Google Gemini on the free tier, routed through Vercel's AI Gateway) solely to generate your guides' replies, are not used to train their models, and are deleted from those providers' systems within 55 days at most (7 days for Anthropic; up to 55 days for Google Gemini). You can pause AI processing at any time in Profile → Privacy & Data. Full detail: our Privacy Policy.
