Welcome to Theo

Why I Built This

If you're reading this, you're one of the first people to use Theo — and I'm genuinely grateful you're here.

Theo started with a simple frustration. When I'm reading scripture or wrestling with questions about faith, I don't always know how to interpret what I'm reading. I want trusted perspective — what did the great theologians actually think about this? What did C.S. Lewis write about suffering? How did Augustine understand grace?

So I did what most of us do: I asked ChatGPT.

The problem? It would confidently give me answers that were entirely made up. Fabricated quotes attributed to real theologians. Invented citations to books that don't exist. It sounded authoritative, but it wasn't grounded in anything real. And when you're dealing with questions of faith — questions that actually matter to how you live your life — that's not good enough.

I wanted to build an AI tool that was grounded in truth and verification. One where every response is rooted in what theologians actually wrote, with real citations you can check. And I wanted it built with my Christian faith and beliefs at the foundation — not as an afterthought, but as the starting point.

That's Theo.

Why Journaling

I know journaling is important. I've read the studies, I've heard the advice, I believe it. But when I sit down to write, I often don't know where to start — or I write a few surface-level sentences and stop.

What I really wanted was something that feels like talking to a therapist or a close friend. Someone who reads what you wrote and asks the question that helps you go deeper. Not someone who just says "that's great, keep going" — but someone who gently pushes: What do you think is really behind that? What are you afraid of if you sit with that feeling?

That's why I built the journaling feature. It's designed to meet you where you are and help you dig in — not just log your day, but actually reflect.

How You Can Help

I'm thankful to every single person who is giving me their time to help make Theo a reality. This is a beta, which means it's early — and your feedback is what will shape what this becomes.

I want to be direct about something: I welcome any and all feedback, and I especially want constructive criticism. If something doesn't work, tell me. If you don't see a reason to keep using it, that's incredibly valuable to know. If a feature feels half-baked or confusing, say so.

Flattery won't help me iterate and build this better. Honest feedback will.

This tool should be useful for everyone who picks it up. If it's not useful for you, I need to understand why — so I can fix it.
