Second Chair, an AI back office for small churches
Second Chair offers church-specific assistants that prepare weekly administrative work, while its companion Watchman monitors operations across giving, attendance, streams, volunteers, and alerts.
Why it surfaced
This is a notably specific AI pitch: an office staff for churches under 400, trained on sermons, websites, and bulletins but barred from the pulpit, pastoral care, individual giving data, and children's data. Its pricing, explicit limits, source-linked drafts, and wall-mounted operations device make it more consequential—and more discussable—than another generic AI wrapper.
