Editor's note: Our team partnered with Pray.com early this year to help connect law enforcement and supporters across America with faith-based content to deepen their relationship with God.  This is NOT a paid partnership… we’re simply running side by side in helping people to learn about Jesus.

We’ll soon be announcing details about the world’s largest revival … being planned for 2025.  We hope you’ll keep following and tell others about it. 


We heard about the massive tech development at Pray.com on X … and thought you should be aware of it as well.

DENVER, CO—According to Business Wire, Pray.com is the number one app for Christians to access daily prayer and faith-based content. Now, the faith-based app has partnered with Palantir Technologies (PLTR-NASDAQ), a leading builder of artificial intelligence systems. The goal is to accelerate new product launches, particularly in language translation, an area where faith-based content often has issues reaching a broad audience.

Business Wire noted that Pray.com immediately recognized the challenges of translating its content into multiple languages due to the cost of staffing and other issues. The outlet wrote that Pray.com was looking for software to automate the manual and costly process with a system built and tested for scale. By utilizing Palantir’s Ontology Software Development Kit (OSDK), Pray.com has “been able to process transcripts and translations content at the quality of native language speakers.”

Pray.com selected Palantir to securely drive artificial intelligence value into the growing application.

The decision was easy for Pray.com founder and CTO Ryan Beck.

“With Pray.com’s incredible content, voiced by some of the most influential voices in faith, and our expanding global reach, we knew we needed a solution to deliver high-quality programming across multiple languages,” Beck said. “I was impressed by Palantir’s reputation and their years of pioneering AI applications. Partnering with them to develop our solution felt like the right choice. We wanted to move our tech stack from a pre-AI stack to a post_AI stack, and Palantir moved us into a post-AI world.”

Thus far, the partnership has worked splendidly for Pray.com. For example, due to its partnership with Palantir, Pray.com launched nine months’ worth of new product features in only a few months and reduced translation time from days to minutes, which multiplied over thousands of hours of podcasts.

“Palantir has enabled Pray.com to accelerate its roadmap while also giving our engineers new capabilities, building enterprise-ready AI systems at scale in half the time,” Beck said. “Ministries and nonprofits now have access to a fully managed and highly accurate service that can translate content in their voice at a fraction of the cost. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results.”

“Prayer existed 10,000 years ago, and prayer will exist 10,000 years from now. Thanks to Palantir, Pray.com can protect and defend religious liberty on a global scale,” Pray.com Founder and CEO Steve Gatena said. “By leveraging Palantir’s AIP, PRay.com is reforming workflows for Christian leaders in the 21st century, allowing us to make prayer a priority for billions of people in dozens of languages at the click of a button.

“So many of the people protecting us look to their faith. Palantir is very proud to partner with Pray.com in supporting the broader Christian community, and especially our warfighters,” said Palantir CEO Alex Karp.

Palantir benefits its users in several ways.

First, their data is completely secure. Second, users will receive personalized devotionals, Bible studies, and plans from their pastor. There are several other benefits for ministers as well. As with users, member data is secure. Second, pastors can use AI tools from Pray.com to scale an entire media team of AI assistants to evangelize in every language and every media format (text, audio, video, etc.).

Finally, AI tools can be used to disciple at scale and personalize every message to every person in their congregation, regardless of its size. This is equivalent to sending a personal daily devotion to all the members of their church.

It’s always encouraging to see leaders in America use tech to drive people closer to God, despite the spiritual warfare currently underway in our nation.
