Why Rock's Agents Are Different

Built for the Church, Not Bolted On

Four things you won't find anywhere else in church software.

They Take Action

Not just search and summaries. Your agent updates records, adds group members and drafts communications, then reports back with what it did.

Security You Already Trust

Your agent signs in as the person asking, so it can only see and do what they can.

  • Every ability is a separate switch
  • Allow drafting an email, keep sending in staff hands
  • New agents start locked to administrators
  • Only models that never train on your data
Works with Claude and ChatGPT

Ask about your Rock data from the assistant you already use. Nothing extra to buy.

Teach It Your Church

Abilities come bundled as Skills, ready out of the box. Need something unique? Your team or a Rock partner builds it.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Rock RMS. Rock AI Agents are the only church management AI agents that take real action, updating records, adding group members and drafting communications, with every step permissioned to the person asking. Rock also connects to Claude and ChatGPT, and your team can build custom AI skills.
An AI agent is a digital teammate you can hand a task in plain English. Instead of only answering questions, it uses safe, tested abilities to look up records, make updates and report back. In Rock, one request like "update Ted's birth date and add him to Alisha's small group" becomes several careful steps the agent completes for you. The announcement post covers the story behind them.
Yes. Every action runs as the signed-in person, never as an all-access account, so the agent can only see and do what that person can. New agents start locked to administrators, every ability is its own permission switch and Rock only works with AI models that don't keep or train on your data. The security details are documented in full.
No. Rock only works with AI models that never train on or keep your church's data. Your conversations and records stay yours: every chat is stored in your own Rock database, not on someone else's servers, and nothing about your people ever becomes part of a model.
Yes. You can connect Claude or ChatGPT to your Rock and ask questions right from the assistant you already use. Each person signs in with their own Rock login, so the AI only reaches what that person is permitted to see. There's nothing extra to buy from Rock, and setting it up takes an afternoon.
Rock AI Agents don't guess from memory. They work through small, tested abilities that read and write real Rock data, and they're instructed to check live records instead of relying on earlier answers. Every change lands visibly on the record, drafts wait for your review and abilities you haven't turned on simply don't exist for the agent.
Yes, and Rock is the only ChMS where you can. Skills bundle small, tested abilities, and your team or a Rock partner can build new ones for whatever makes your church unique. The full developer guide is published and free.
Rock is open source, so there's no license fee for AI Agents. In-Rock chat offers a recommended Standard tier and a lower-cost Economy tier, and your organization sets one monthly spending cap so costs never surprise you. Connecting Claude or ChatGPT requires nothing extra from Rock.
