A Swiss startup has launched artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots named after saints to assist Catholic believers who want to pray online.


The British daily The Times introduced the chatbot site 'Prega.org,' operated by the Swiss startup 'ImpactOn,' in a weekend edition article on the afternoon of the 3rd. 'Prega' is derived from the Italian word meaning 'to pray' or 'pray.'

Users of this site can converse with an AI chatbot modeled after the Italian saint Padre Pio (1887?1968), famously known as 'Padre Pio.'


Currently, conversations are available in Italian and Latin, with an English version to be added soon.


The company is also developing and testing chatbots modeled after other saints, such as Saint Antonio of Padua and Saint Francesco of Assisi.

This service operates based on ChatGPT, which OpenAI released to the public at the end of November last year. ImpactOn added filters to ChatGPT to finely tune the responses to reflect what Saint Pio of Pietrelcina might have said.
