Ask the AI Assistant for verses, songs and screen actions
Open the assistant with Ctrl + J (Cmd + J on a Mac), type what you want in plain words, and it finds verses, songs and music, or runs actions like blackout.
On this page
The AI Assistant is a chat inside ChristChant. Instead of hunting through tabs, you type what you want, such as *John 3:16* or *songs about grace*, and it finds it or does it. It only ever uses ChristChant's own actions, so it can't change anything on your screens by surprise.
Open it
Press Ctrl + J (on a Mac, ⌘ + J), or click the AI Assistant button in the header at the top of the window. Press the same keys again to close it.
What you can ask
| Type | Does |
|---|---|
| John 3:16 | Finds the verse so you can send it to the Preview. |
| feed and go live John 3:16 | Puts the verse on the screens. |
| verses about peace | Finds verses on a topic. |
| Way Maker or songs about grace | Finds a song, or songs on a theme. |
| go live with the first song | Takes a song from the open service live. |
| songs of this service | Lists what's in the open service. |
| play some music / pause the music | Controls the music player. |
| blackout / clear the screen | Blacks out every screen, or takes the words off and keeps the background. |
| make a QR code | Makes a QR code for a link or text you describe. |
You don't need exact wording. If the chat doesn't know what to do, it shows suggestions to try. An empty chat also shows a few ideas to start from.
Ask a question
Start a message with /ask to put a plain question to the assistant, for example *"/ask how many chapters are in Psalms"*, or to get step-by-step help with using ChristChant. It is also handy when your question contains a word like *blackout* that would otherwise be read as a command. /ask is included with Premium.
Does it need the internet?
Everyday requests such as verses, songs and screen commands work on this computer, offline. Writing new slides and planning a whole service use Cloud AI and need the internet. See Make slides and plans with AI.
Is it faster than the command palette?
They overlap. The command palette (Ctrl + K) is quick for exact commands. The assistant is better when you want to ask in your own words.
