Notable Quotes
• David at [2:11] - "When I went to the AI conference last year…all I talked about was AI agents. And they said in the coming year you're going to hear about AI agents."

• Katie at [7:39] - "The shift from, like, the chat bot all the way to the full AI worker is kind of like going from using a calculator to, like, having a secretary to, like, hiring a strategist to, like, actually onboarding an entire team, but, like, in a box."

• David at [10:44] - "I just don't, pastors like this, we have to have higher expectations about what an AI agent actually is versus just a simple assistant."

• Katie at [13:09] - "I think churches community. Right. It's not about just systems and processes. But, you know, I also want there to be, some understanding that this admin work that doesn't take a personal touch can be done."

• David at [25:05] - "AI agent platforms should not be a part of programs, but actually a part of your staffing budget…you will hire an agent, that and that agent and the cost of that agent is not a platform. It is a part of your staffing plan."

• Katie at [25:52] - "An AI assistant…waits for instructions, whereas an AI agent, it plans and acts towards a goal, where an AI worker owns an ongoing role."
