Summary
Michael interviews new exhibitor Dr. Jeffrey M. Kelly, a full-time biblical counselor and former church planter, and David Driskill, a veteran software developer and Care Assist Pro’s CTO, about their platform (careassist-pro.com). They explain that Care Assist Pro was built to address the shortage of soul care in local churches by reducing counseling roadblocks and increasing counselor confidence through secure, HIPAA-compliant tools such as note organization, encrypted communication, built-in video conferencing with transcripts, summaries, and AI-driven feedback on counseling skills over time. They emphasize AI is never the counselor but a tool with biblical guardrails, using a curated RAG knowledge base of about 800 documents (e.g., ACBC, CCF, ABC, Counseling Coalition) and features like notebooks, multilingual outputs, and training “personas” for seminary practicums and skill development. 00:00 Conference Introduction 01:02 Meet the Guests 01:16 Dr Kelly Background 01:48 David Driskill Tech Story 03:09 How Care Assist Began 05:49 Redemptive Use of AI 08:31 AI Training Practicum 11:19 Notebooks Language Features 15:30 Guardrails Not Replacement 19:58 Counselor Growth Analytics 23:57 Who Its For Pricing 26:50 Final Encouragement Wrap Episode Mentions Check out Care Assist Pro
