This service, designed to address inquiries and clarify misconceptions about the Seventh-day Adventist Church, provides information about Adventist doctrine, history, beliefs, and lifestyle. Additionally, it offers educational and counseling services related to Bible correspondence schools.

Through fine-tuning, "Adventist GPT" delivers teachings aligned with Adventist beliefs. The team enhanced its capabilities by training the AI on an extensive corpus of official church documents and materials. Available 24/7, its prompt responses aim to benefit church members and the general public alike. Featuring an intuitive interface accessible across digital devices like smartphones and computers, it facilitates natural, seamless conversations.

“Based on user feedback, we’re continuously refining the UI/UX to elevate the user experience,” said Lee SangYong, Digital Evangelism department director. “It will enable users to comprehend better and connect with Adventist belief and teachings.”

One beta tester expressed satisfaction that surpassed expectations, noting, “While general search engines and GPT models frequently provided inadequate or inaccurate information about the Adventist Church, ‘Adventist GPT’ conveyed relatively accurate details.”

Another user remarked, “Although I was knowledgeable about the Adventist Church and beliefs, I struggled to articulate explanations whenever questions were asked about them. However, by effectively utilizing this chatbot, anyone can confidently introduce the church and expound on the rationale behind their belief.” They added that they would employ it as a valuable evangelism aid.

Key anticipated benefits encompass broadening outreach about Adventist doctrine and beliefs, rectifying misinformation and misconceptions, and distinctly communicating the denomination’s stance on pertinent issues.

Complementing non-face-to-face evangelism, automated counseling will enhance user engagement, while automated responses to repetitive questions will conserve human resources and boost efficiency.

The partner company OPENBUS significantly contributed through pro-bono technical guidance and development, optimizing performance and usability.

The department intends to implement continuous updates and enhancements to "Adventist GPT" to fortify the church’s evangelism and outreach initiatives. It will proactively solicit and integrate user feedback to progressively elevate the chatbot’s precision and capabilities.

Adventist GPT is accessible for counseling purposes through the website (https://gpt.adventist.kr/) and its CRM service.
