Why churches will love Conference Ink

Recording the audio is just the beginning.

Sermons need context, not generic AI

Conference Ink knows you are at church. It labels sessions as Sermons, speakers as Pastors, and shapes every AI summary around theological content and scripture. Church Notes records audio and stops there.

Capture the verse, not just the sound

When the pastor reads a scripture, Conference Ink detects the reference and links it directly in your notes. Follow along in the text even if you missed writing it down.

Share with your congregation

Export a clean sermon summary to Markdown in seconds (PDF coming soon). Send it to members who could not attend, use it for small group discussion, or add it to your church newsletter.

Actively maintained and improving

Conference Ink is in active development, with transcription, AI, and UX improvements planned well beyond launch. Church Notes appears to have seen few updates in recent years.

Bring AI to your weekly sermon.
