Paging, Plans and Guides AI

Sep 26, 2025

This release introduces powerful new content creation automation as well as a new way to tell stories using paging.

Create mobile-first guided content with paging

You can now structure long-form content into clear, swipe-friendly pages—then publish it across your mobile app and web. In Admin, you can create paged Guides, devotionals, and study plans with simple page breaks, making it easier to organize messages, next steps, and reflection prompts without overwhelming readers.

On mobile, people get a smooth, continuous reading experience with visible page breaks, a stepped progress indicator to see how far they’ve come, and a table of contents to jump straight to a section. It’s perfect for a weekly devotional, a multi-part sermon follow-up, or a step-by-step discipleship pathway—helping congregants engage a little each day.

On the web, paged content displays in a clean, vertically scrolling layout that scales beautifully to desktop, so your community can read and reflect wherever they are. And because paging controls are now available in Admin, your team can build, edit, and publish paged content without workarounds—streamlining preparation and keeping your congregation focused on what matters.


Beta Testing Plans and Guides AI: Create Guides and Multi-Day Plans with Built-In Engagement

You can now create paged Guides and multi-day Plans with AI—so daily readings, group curriculum, and sermon companion guides take minutes instead of hours.

Start with a clear outline you can edit, then generate content that’s right-sized for mobile and includes built-in engagement like Scripture references, reflection questions, and polls.

Guides

Guides are great for creating a paged content experience. Use them for Sermon Guides, Interactive Notes, Group Discussion Guides, or individual devotionals.


Plans

Plans allow you to automate a series of guides. Use plans to generate daily reading content and automate a daily content experience. Or, you can create evergreen plans such as a Self Paced Reading Plan, Group/Class Curriculum or Devotional.

Attach a sermon video, notes, or documents to guide the AI, select your content collection, and watch the content build in real time. Plans generate behind the scenes, then appear in your chosen collection for final review and publishing.

Creator History and Custom Prompting

You can also now access your Creator history as well as set custom prompt instructions. Use this to fine-tune the way AI generates content for your instance. You can provide multiple system prompts and toggle on/off different prompts to be used when creating content.

Highlights:

  • Create Daily or Evergreen Plans in batches with auto‑scheduled dates

  • Edit outlines before generation for both Guides and Plans

  • Paged Guides optimized for mobile engagement

  • Includes interactive blocks such as scripture, questions, and polls automatically

  • Background generation with email notifications

  • Add videos, images, or documents to inform the content

  • Publish to any collection you choose

Available now in Admin (web) by toggling on the beta feature when choosing "Create with AI".
