Editorial design proposal101 · Conversation and contentAI persona
From a plain tool with no name, through labelled and named assistants, to personas, companions and chatbots speaking as Jesus: decide how much personhood an AI in a faith app performs, and make what it is as clear as how it sounds.
Research-informed design proposal109 · Conversation and contentAI memory
From an assistant that keeps nothing, through context the person adds and a conversation they can see, to memory they switch on and can see item by item, and a profile the app builds from their prayers as a warning case: decide what the assistant may use, what it keeps, and whether the person can see and change it.
