Why not just use ChatGPT or a calendar app?

Because they get jurisdictions wrong and don't know your tradition's saints and holy places. A general AI will hand you a Greek answer to a Serbian question and miss the fast date entirely. Hodios is grounded in clergy sources and built around your jurisdiction.

How is my data handled / is this private?

What you seek here is between you and your faith. Your data is private, never shared, and treated with the seriousness sacred matters deserve.

What exactly do I get?

Guidance for your fasts, feasts, observances and prayers — correct for your jurisdiction — and a growing library of your saints' lives and holy-place histories, told beautifully.

Pricing, refunds, cancellation?

A free teaser, then a subscription for the full guidance; stories free with premium long-form; per-request commemoration in phase two. Refund and cancellation terms are set with the respect this deserves — details at checkout.

Who is this for — and who isn't it for?

For Orthodox faithful — especially the diaspora — who want their own tradition kept correctly, and for those drawn to the saints and holy places. It is reverent and traditional, not a casual religion-chat tool.

Why not just ask my priest?

You can, and you should. Hodios is for between visits — and in phase two, it will let clergy and monasteries pray or commemorate on your behalf where you cannot go yourself.

Is AI appropriate for sacred content?

It is made with clergy guidance and stays within the tradition. We tell the stories, histories and holy places — and we do not reimagine the canonical holy icons. The sacred image is left untouched.

Does it know my specific jurisdiction?

Yes. Greek, Russian, Serbian, Romanian, Antiochian, Ethiopian — each has its own version, its own calendar basis, its own saints and holy places. Hodios never flattens them into one.

Why is the Ethiopian/Coptic version different?

Because the Oriental Orthodox tradition is theologically and liturgically distinct, with its own calendar. We treat it as its own tradition, not a variant of the others, and build it with its own clergy guidance.
