AI Sermon Slides That Respect Your Words

The Scribedeck team · August 8, 2026

Most "AI presentation" tools want to write your sermon. That's exactly backwards for a preacher: the message is the one thing you don't want generated. What you want generated is everything around it — the splitting, the formatting, the verse hunting, the background design, the recap email. That's the line Scribedeck's AI is built on: it does the busywork; your words stay your words.

Six things it does

• Create with AI — describe the message ("hope in hard seasons, include verses") and get a full drafted deck: slides split sensibly, key words pre-highlighted, real KJV verse slides where the message calls for them. It drafts school lessons and announcements just as happily, without the verses.
• Tidy up with AI — after you upload your own notes, one tap splits lines too long for a screen, highlights the key words on your selected lines, and suggests Bible references your notes imply. It never rewrites your phrasing, and every change lands in the same review list you already approve line by line — with an Undo button.
• Highlight key words — on any existing slide, AI picks the two or three words carrying the meaning and paints them in your accent color.
• Background designer — describe a scene ("stormy sea at dawn, hopeful") and get a custom 16:9 background painted for that slide, darkened where the text sits so your words stay readable.
• Charts from your numbers — "attendance was 120, 150, 180 — make it a chart" becomes a crisp pie, bar, or flow chart drawn as a slide. The AI supplies the data; Scribedeck draws the graphic, so the numbers are never hallucinated into the image.
• After-event pack — when the service ends, one tap writes a warm recap paragraph, small-group discussion questions, and a social post from your actual slides.

What it costs and how it's counted

AI is an optional add-on: Solo + AI is $14.99/month or $149/year with 250 AI actions a month; Enterprise + AI is $599.99/year with 2,000. One ask — a draft, a tidy-up, a chart, a pack — is one action; a designed background image counts as ten. Need more, top up 250 for $4.99, and topped-up actions never expire. Every core Scribedeck feature works identically without the AI plan.

Your content stays yours

Your notes and decks are sent to the AI only when you press an AI button, only to answer that request, and your content isn't used to train models. Nothing the AI produces is final until you've seen it in the editor — highlights and backgrounds come off with one tap.
