What does Silas read, and where does it go?
Only what a person typed and what the church keeps for that task. He doesn’t browse or message anyone. What he reads goes to Anthropic, whose Claude model he runs on. It isn’t used to train him, and isn’t kept beyond a short safety check.
Where can I see everything Silas reads?
How Trellis uses AI lists what each task sends him and what we promise. Our AI policy template is free for any church to adapt.
Who can see a write-up?
A group’s write-up is seen by its leaders and the church’s staff. A serving day’s write-up is seen by the serving office and the directors serving that day.
Do we need Silas?
No. Every part of Trellis works without him. Lighthouse AI keeps forecasting from your counts, and its Monday read, themes and drafts pause while he’s off. Write-ups are kept as plain notes.
