HHomilAI
The pipeline · Five handoffs

Each step keeps you in control before the next one spends credits.

01

Describe the sermon.

Enter the title, opening scripture, optional supporting passages, notes, series, aspect ratio, concept count, and any style or palette direction. Most weeks only need a title, a passage, and a few words of context.

02

Review the brief.

HomilAI can draft a summary from your sermon details. You can edit that summary, ask for a revision, use it as-is, or skip it and generate from the original details.

03

Design provider-specific prompts.

The backend combines your summary, title, scripture reference, notes, batch direction, brand keywords, figure policy, styles, palettes, and image provider into one tailored prompt per concept slot.

04

Render concepts live.

Each slot renders independently, so concepts appear as they finish. A run can produce up to 3 concepts on Free, 6 on Pro, and 9 on Studio. The concept history is appended, not overwritten.

05

Select, refine, export.

Pick a concept, regenerate one missed concept, run another batch with a new direction, or create a textless version for scripture overlays. Exports download as PNG or JPG at the generated native size.

What the AI sees

The prompt is built from your sermon inputs and workspace defaults.

HomilAI does not guess your theology. It reads the creative brief you provide and the workspace settings your team saved. That gives the image model enough direction to make visual concepts without pretending to write the message.

  • Title, scripture reference, summary, notes, and batch direction
  • Brand keywords and figure policy, such as "silhouette" or "no people"
  • Per-concept styles, palettes, ratio, and provider routing

AI saves time, but the result still needs human taste.

Timing

Generation takes minutes, not an instant.

Concept count, provider queue, and image size affect runtime. The app streams progress instead of making you stare at a frozen screen.

Credits

Credits count rendered concepts.

A 6-concept run uses 6 sermon generation credits. Regenerating one concept uses 1. Series covers are metered separately.

Textless

Text removal is useful, not magic.

If the title is a clean overlay, auto textless usually has a good path. If the typography is baked into the art, use masking, regenerate without text, or choose another concept.

Export

Exports are native PNG or JPG today.

Multi-size export, ProPresenter bundles, PDF, WebP, print presets, and zip packaging are visible on the roadmap but are not wired in the current export pipeline.

Ratios

Pick the shape before generation.

16:9, 4:3, 1:1, and 9:16 are standard. Pro and Studio can use custom ratios, though unusual shapes can produce less predictable AI results.

Control

Old concepts stay available.

New runs append to the sermon history. You can compare earlier concepts, keep the winner, and rerun only the part that missed.

Credit ledger · What uses quota

The meter is based on provider work, not button clicks.

Action Credit impact Notes
Generate a sermon batch Uses the concept count 3 credits for 3 concepts, 6 for 6, 9 for 9.
Regenerate one concept Uses 1 credit Only that concept is replaced.
Generate a series cover Uses series-cover credits Separate from sermon generation credits.
First textless version Included for the sermon The first provider call for textless is included.
Additional textless attempt Uses 1 credit Auto, mask, and regenerate-without-text can call providers.
Switch textless version Uses 0 credits Choosing a saved version does not call a provider.
Download PNG or JPG Uses 0 credits Unless export needs to create a missing textless version.
What HomilAI does
Generates sermon-title artwork.One or more concept images based on the sermon brief.
Supports series workflows.Series covers and sermon graphics can share context and visual direction.
Stores the useful trail.Concepts keep provider, prompt, style, seed, direction, and textless history for later review.
Exports usable files.PNG and JPG downloads, with optional textless companions when available.
What it does not do
It does not write sermons.The sermon, theology, interpretation, and title judgment stay with you.
It does not upload your own photos yet.Current graphics are generated from text inputs, settings, and style choices.
It does not directly sync to ProPresenter yet.Use downloaded files today; direct handoff is still roadmap work.
It does not resize one image into every deliverable yet.Choose the main artwork shape before generation, then export the generated native size.

Try the real workflow with your next sermon.

Start with a title and passage, review the brief, generate a few concepts, and export the one that fits. The 14-day Pro trial drops to Free unless you explicitly continue.
