Source is the authority
AI may retrieve, organize, simplify, translate, and explain reviewed material. It may not invent doctrine, issue rulings, or override sacred sources.
What the companion will and will not do
Faith Companion can be warm and useful only because the boundaries are firm: source first, review visible, rights respected, private notes private, and human authority never replaced.
Reviewed-only means strict
If approved source-backed content is missing, the correct answer is a refusal with a source request, not an invented spiritual answer.
Private notes stay private
Diary entries and goals can shape the user's own journey, but they are never treated as reviewed doctrine or content approval evidence.
Professional topics route carefully
Medical, legal, financial, therapy, abuse, emergency, and crisis topics must keep professional-support boundaries visible.
Youth and family are guarded
Family mode and youth-safe language should reduce sensitive exposure and keep guardian-aware choices separate from adult-only guidance.
Rights decide distribution
A source can be spiritually important and still blocked from offline, commercial, audio, or AI-use surfaces until rights are clear.
Review status
These product documents are available for hosted use and owner review. Final legal approval remains a release task, so the app keeps public-launch gates locked until the effective versions are approved.
