  "description": "Zoe is AI that helps you walk with Jesus. It lives in your text messages (SMS and iMessage) and helps people turn their attention toward Jesus more often through scripture, prayer, reflection, memory, and gentle follow-through. The daily rhythm is a morning anchor, a midday nudge, and an evening reflection, with conversation any time in between. Zoe is explicitly AI: not a pastor, person, friend, therapist, or replacement for the Holy Spirit or the local church.",
