This Salesian chatbot is provided by Oblate apostolate, Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School. The chatbot was designed by Hope Dickson '25, president of the school’s Cubs Who Code club.

Drawing exclusively on the teachings of St. Francis de Sales, including Introduction to the Devout Life and Treatise on the Love of God, and letters from both St. Francis and St. Jane de Chantal, it is a digital assistant designed to embody his gentle, positive, and compassionate spirit and wisdom. Rooted in the Salesian virtues of kindness, patience, and joyful optimism, the chatbot is programmed to respond with warmth and respect.

Please note that this is an AI-powered chatbot; it is not a human and does not have personal emotions or experiences. While it aims to offer guidance in the spirit of kindness and encouragement, it should not be considered a substitute for professional advice or personal human interaction.
