Who makes Uplift?

Uplift is made by 23One, LLC, a team of committed Christians who believe technology can serve the church rather than compete with it. You can reach a real person at [email protected].

Who is Uplift for?

Uplift is for anyone who wants God’s Word to shape their whole week: new believers, people who have walked with Jesus for decades, and the honestly curious. It is available for ages 13 and up.

Is Uplift available on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Uplift is available on the App Store and Google Play, in English.

Faith and theology

What does Uplift believe?

Uplift holds to historic, orthodox Christian belief: the Bible as the inspired, inerrant Word of God and the final authority for faith and life, one God in three persons, and salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Read the full Statement of Faith.

Is Uplift tied to a denomination?

No. Uplift stands on the essentials Christians have held in common, set out in its Statement of Faith. On secondary matters, where faithful Christians reach different conclusions, it explains the major orthodox views with charity and encourages you to study Scripture for yourself.

Which Bible translation does Uplift use?

Uplift quotes the Berean Standard Bible (BSB). Every verse is pulled from the text itself; the AI chooses references but never writes, paraphrases or “improves” Scripture.

Does Uplift replace church or reading the Bible?

No. Uplift is built for the six days between Sundays. It should leave you more eager to read your Bible, more committed to prayer and more connected to your local church, not less.

Does Uplift pray for me?

No. Prayer is between you and your Father in heaven, and no app can do it for you. Uplift helps you pray: it helps you put what’s on your heart into words, guides you through a time of prayer and keeps a record of what you’ve prayed and how God has answered. How prayer works in Uplift.

AI and trust

Does Uplift use AI?

Yes. Uplift uses AI to personalize your devotional and the Scripture chosen for you, to answer your questions, to help you put prayers into words and to hold voice conversations. Scripture itself is never written by AI. Our AI principles explain the limits we hold ourselves to.

Can Uplift make mistakes?

Yes. Like any AI, Uplift can be wrong, so it is built to be checked: verses are quoted from the Berean Standard Bible itself, answers draw on trusted Christian sources measured against our Statement of Faith, and every reference can be read in context. Test what you hear against Scripture, and if Uplift gets something wrong, tell us.

Where do Uplift’s answers come from?

From the relevant passages of Scripture and vetted Christian reference material, measured against Uplift’s Statement of Faith, rather than from whatever a general-purpose AI absorbed from the open internet.

What does Uplift do if someone is in crisis?

Uplift says plainly that it is an AI and encourages the person to reach real people: a pastor, a trusted friend, a counselor, or emergency and crisis services. In the US you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Is Uplift suitable for teenagers?

Uplift is available for ages 13 and up. Its answers are grounded in Scripture, and it points young people to trusted adults, their church and, in a crisis, to emergency help. As with any app, we encourage parents to talk with their teens about how they use it.

Are there ads in Uplift?

Who can see what I write in Uplift?
