Important disclaimer

OrthodoxAI is not a priest, confessor, therapist, doctor, or emergency service.

OrthodoxAI is an educational tool. It does not replace the Church, a priest, confession, pastoral counsel, medical advice, psychological help, or emergency services.

1. Educational Use Only

OrthodoxAI is intended for educational and reflective use. It may help users think about prayer, fasting, Scripture, journaling, and Orthodox Christian daily discipline, but it is not an authority of the Church.

2. Not a Replacement for the Church

OrthodoxAI does not replace participation in the life of the Church, the sacraments, confession, parish life, pastoral care, or guidance from a priest or spiritual father.

3. No Confession or Pastoral Authority

Do not use OrthodoxAI as a substitute for confession or direct pastoral counsel. For serious personal spiritual matters, moral struggles, fasting exceptions, preparation for communion, family crises, addiction, abuse, or serious guilt, speak with a priest.

4. No Medical or Mental Health Advice

OrthodoxAI does not provide medical, psychiatric, psychological, nutritional, or therapeutic advice. If your question involves illness, medication, pregnancy, eating disorders, addiction, self-harm, depression, anxiety, trauma, or another health concern, contact a qualified professional.

5. Emergencies

If you or another person may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services immediately. Do not rely on OrthodoxAI in an emergency.

6. AI Limitations

AI-generated responses can be incomplete, inaccurate, misleading, or inappropriate. Users should use discernment and verify important matters through trusted Orthodox Christian sources and appropriate human guidance.
