We’re all looking for guidance, a sense of meaning, and a little companionship on the journey. It is a clear trend reflected in how we use technology today. A recent Harvard Business Review report on AI shows “Therapy/companionship” rising to become the #1 use case for 2025, with “Finding purpose” newly entering the top three.
In these new conversations, what are people asking about? Research from Anthropic reveals a pattern: a significant number of users are already turning to AI to “research and explain religious texts and cultural concepts.”
These signals point to a simple, human truth: we want a helpful companion that can ground its guidance in sources we already know and trust.
What if that companion lived in your pocket?
