Can Catholic AI Lead People to God? Truthly (Catholic AI) Cofounders Explain
Nov 06, 2025 Season 1 Episode 2

How do spiritual seekers use AI to take their next step toward God? In this conversation with Truthly’s cofounders Zac Johnson  and Jacob Ciccarelli, we dig into what people are actually asking AI about faith, why “companionship” and “purpose” are exploding use cases, and how a Catholic tool can help that hunger by guiding people towards answers and connection with clarity and care. They share stories like late-night questions to an atheist now in OCIA, plus the design philosophy behind nudging users off the screen and back into real life. We also talk about formation beyond quick answers (think Duolingo for Catholicism), the ethics of trustworthy sources, and how to keep AI from becoming a counterfeit companion.
