Chat with Jesus through a new app

An app called Text With Jesus lets you chat with Jesus and other Bible figures. It uses AI to pretend to be the characters.

The app creator and how it works

The app was made by a company in LA. The AI is told "You are Jesus" so it answers like Jesus. Bible verses are included.

The creator had made a basic Jesus app before. ChatGPT gave him the idea to make it interactive.

Who you can chat with

You can chat with Jesus, Mary, the apostles, prophets, and more. Some figures need the paid version.
