CFU Fundraising 2024 Mar
We want to create the "smartest non-human Urantia Book student." We call it – The Urantia Book Tutor!
Fundraising for the CFU – Update
By Rick Lyon
Our most urgent fundraising opportunity is the need to raise $10,000 to create and develop a new online study aid for the entire Urantia Book. Over the next year, we will be developing Urantia Book Tutor, building upon our experience and success with AskJesuschatbot.com, which has over 17,200 questions submitted in its first six months. The views of the videos we are posting to TikTok and YouTube are increasing.
We want to create the “smartest non-human Urantia Book student.” We call it – The Urantia Book Tutor. This is a new AI conversational chatbot that answers based on the entire Urantia Book.
We will utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to make the teachings of The Urantia Book accessible to both new and veteran students.
This will be the first version of an AI chatbot that is specifically programmed to have conversations about The Urantia Book content, concepts, and ideas. By “conversation” we mean that the AI will be able to take a user's questions and respond to them. It will also suggest questions in return and suggest Papers and sections to facilitate and deepen the study. This chatbot will be deployed in a dedicated website: urantiabooktutor.com. We shall offer this revolutionary tool to all the Urantia organizations and individuals to be deployed as an add-on assistant to their websites. This will add function, value, and attraction to their websites as well.
Your one-time donation serves to provide these resources at no cost to the people using and benefitting from them. A recurring monthly donation is a stable foundation for providing these resources and others far into the future. Other areas that need funding are:
• Cinematic Jesus – to create our first short film.
• The engineering design work and a pledge of $2 million in order to secure the 25-year lease of the museum for The Jesus Experience. Please refer to The Jesus Experience monthly update for further details.
If you or someone you know has been blessed with the means to provide such funds, please call us at: 1-765-366-7203 or email: contact@thecenterforunity.org in order to meet with our team and learn how you can help do great things where great things are waiting to be done.
