Silas · the AI in Trellis

Write it the way you’d text a co‑leader. Silas does the paperwork.

Silas is an AI assistant, built into Trellis. A few lines after the meeting and he reads them into who came, who didn’t, the guest, the prayer request and next week’s passage, then waits. You press Done.

Silas suggests. You decide.

DoneFix somethingDashed means he wasn’t sure
The one rule

Nothing goes in the book until a person says so.

Everything Silas proposes sits beside the words it came from, and nothing is saved until a person presses Done. A dashed chip means he wasn’t sure; anything he couldn’t place is listed under the sheet for you to file or drop. The paragraph stays as the night’s own note either way, so if Silas is slow or wrong, nothing is lost.

Where the AI reads

The write-up

A group leader’s paragraph after the meeting becomes attendance, guests, prayer requests, notes and next week’s passage.

The brief

Before the meeting, Silas reads the plan, the guide on the shelf, last week’s write-up and the open prayer requests into a page you can read on the drive over, with a Have in mind list.

Sunday’s write-up

A director’s note after a service becomes who showed, who covered, and what to fix before next week.

What he is, and isn’tAI, on a short leash

He is AI

Silas is built on Anthropic’s Claude, a large language model. That is what lets him read a paragraph written in a leader’s own words and turn it into entries. He is not a person, and Trellis never pretends otherwise.

He reads what you wrote

Silas only ever sees what a leader typed and what the church already keeps: the plan, the shelf, the roster. He doesn’t browse, and he doesn’t message anyone.

He doesn’t train on your church

What Silas reads goes to Anthropic under terms that don’t train on it. The write-ups and the sheet stay in the church’s own book. The privacy policy says so in full.

He can be turned off

Without Silas, write-ups are kept as plain notes and the roll is taken by hand. Nothing else changes.

He isn’t a chatbot

There’s no box to talk to him in. He shows up where there’s something to read, proposes, and steps back.
