About Manna
Last updated: March 2026
Our Mission
Manna exists to help every believer engage with Scripture in a deeper, more personal way. We believe the Bible holds timeless wisdom for every season of life — and that modern technology can help people discover it, not replace the experience of reading God's Word.
Why We Built Manna
We noticed a gap: millions of people want to read the Bible but don't know where to start. Others have questions about life — anxiety, purpose, relationships — and don't realise the Bible speaks directly to those feelings. Manna bridges that gap by letting you ask any question and receive Scripture-grounded answers with clear, thoughtful explanations.
Our mood-based guidance feature was born from a simple insight: when someone is feeling anxious at 2 AM, they don't need a commentary — they need a verse that speaks to their heart. Manna delivers exactly that, drawing from over 60 mood-based verse sets curated to meet people where they are.
How the AI Works
Manna uses advanced AI to search the Bible for the most relevant passages to your question, then generates a thoughtful explanation rooted in Scripture. Every answer includes chapter-and-verse citations so you can verify and study further.
We primarily use the King James Version (KJV), a beloved public-domain translation, and provide modern-English explanations alongside each verse. The AI does not add to Scripture or offer personal opinions — it points back to God's Word.
Important: Manna is a study aid, not a substitute for pastoral guidance, church community, or personal prayer. We encourage every user to bring what they discover in Manna into conversation with their pastor, small group, or faith community.
Our Values
- Scripture-first: Every answer is grounded in the Bible. We never fabricate verses or add to God's Word.
- Privacy-first: No ads, no data selling, no tracking. Your spiritual journey is between you and God.
- Accessible: Free to start, with no denominational bias. Manna is for every believer, regardless of tradition.
- Transparent: We're honest about what AI can and cannot do. We cite our sources and encourage further study.
