What the AI can and cannot see

Trust matters more than cleverness, so Vianney's AI is built with firm limits on what it ever touches.

Firm boundaries

• Nothing confession-related ever enters the system, let alone the AI. If a note even looks confession-adjacent, it is set aside untouched.
• Pastor's notes are never sent to the AI, whatever their visibility tier.
• The AI sees only what it needs for the task in front of it (for example, the words of a Narthex note to draft a reply), and only when the add-on is on.

What leaves the parish

For billing, Vianney reports counts and costs of AI usage to the management side — never the contents of messages, notes, or records.

Tips

• These limits are deliberate and not configurable down — they are part of what makes the tool safe to use in a parish.
• When in doubt about a sensitive matter, keep it out of the system entirely; that is always the right call.
