Founding Members
Help build a home
for Catholic life.
Pray, build a daily habit, walk with the saints, read the whole Bible — and ask anything, answered with the Church and its sources. Not a pile of features, but many doors into one communion: with the Church, with one another, and with God. We’re building it before the funding and before the crowds — founding members make it real.

From the founder
Hi, I’m Avery. I wasn’t always Catholic. I grew up Buddhist — it was my family’s faith, and I kept practicing even after I came to the U.S. to study. But somewhere along the way, the connection quietly faded.
Then came a hard season — struggling to find work, hitting wall after wall, feeling lost. I kept searching. And that search led me, unexpectedly, to the Catholic Church.
I’m a product manager, and at the time I was using every AI chat tool out there. One day it struck me: maybe I could build one for the faith I was just discovering. As a catechumen, my priest kept encouraging me with Scripture and the saints — and that’s what made me begin.
The more I learned, the more I built. And the more I saw how much the Church needs this: priests are stretched thin, and the faithful need every door we can open to draw closer to Christ. I want to give something back.
I can’t do it alone. Founding members are the people who make it real. If this mission moves you, I’d be honored to build it with you.

Founder, Chatolic
“I am the good shepherd; I know my own, and my own know me.”
— John 10:14
Our Mission
To make the fullness of the Catholic faith — Scripture, the Catechism, the saints, and 2,000 years of Church teaching — instantly accessible, trustworthy, and personal, so that no one ever has to face a question of faith alone.
Our Vision
A world where every Catholic — the curious seeker, the struggling believer, the lifelong faithful — carries a companion that answers truthfully, prays with them, and draws them closer to Christ and His Church. To reach all 1.4 billion Catholics, and everyone still searching for Him.
Why this matters now
Most AI gives confident answers with no source. For the things that matter most — what the Church teaches, what Scripture says, how to pray — that isn’t good enough. Chatolic is built to show its source for every line: grounded in the Catechism, the Bible, and the Fathers, never invented. Founding members fund the work that keeps it honest.
What your support builds
You’re not buying features — you’re funding a mission, and keeping Chatolic free for those who can’t pay.
Reach all 1.4 billion Catholics
Put a trustworthy companion of faith in the hands of every Catholic on earth — and everyone still searching for Christ.
In their own language
Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Filipino and beyond — so the faith speaks to each person in their own tongue, not just English.
Faith in the moments you already have
Turn the fragments of a busy day — a line, a commute, a moment before bed — into time with God, and small daily habits into a life drawn closer to Him.
A community that brings you back to the Church
An online community of the faithful — praying together, encouraging one another, and drawn back to the parish, the sacraments, and a life of practice.
Walk with St. Thérèse, Padre Pio, Our Lady, and nearly twenty more — each grounded in their own writings.
