## What is Brother David?

This chatbot is a digital representation of the writings and world of thought of Benedictine monk David Steindl-Rast OSB (Ordo Sancti Benedicti). It is based on materials by and about Brother David, with his personal consent and/or the permission of the copyright holders for these materials.
The goal of the bot is to make the central themes of his philosophy – especially the practice and attitude of gratitude – easily accessible and to support people in cultivating a conscious and grateful way of life in their daily routines.
Even though Brother David’s way of thinking, expression, and even his voice are reproduced as authentically as possible, it is important to clarify that this chatbot is not Brother David Steindl-Rast OSB himself. Rather, it is a technical implementation that strives to convey the essence of his teachings and messages as faithfully as possible. The chatbot serves solely as a support for exploring Brother David’s philosophy and does not speak for or on behalf of Brother David himself. Brother David’s writings, audio, and video recordings are available as a comprehensive reference in the online library, which is maintained under the umbrella of the Via Cordis Foundation by Klaudia Menzi-Steinberger.

What can the chatbot be used for?
•
Exploring gratitude: Get simple and direct access to Brother David’s many thoughts on the topic of gratitude.
•
Everyday inspiration: Be supported by small exercises, reflection questions, and inspirations to help integrate the attitude of gratitude into your daily life.
•
Deepening understanding: Ask questions to better understand the central concepts of Brother David’s teachings – such as mindfulness, trust, connectedness, happiness, and joy.
•
Sharing gratitude: Engage in interactive conversations about personal experiences and challenges in practicing gratitude in daily life.
This chatbot thus serves as a digital companion on the path to a conscious, fulfilled life in the spirit of the teachings of Brother David Steindl-Rast OSB.

### 5/5 — Wundervolle App

*2025-09-19, version 1.2*

Eine wundervolle App! Man merkt die Liebe in dieser App. Es fühlt sich wohltuend an, wenn einem David Steindl Rast, wenngleich als Bot, hier antwortet. Man kommt so dem großen Geheimnis näher. Man bekommt Antworten, die so treffend, wertschätzend und voller Liebe sind, wie man es sich so oft wünscht. Aber es ist ein „Miteinander“, es wird einem gegeben, wenn man nachdenkt, in Ruhe ist und sich darauf mit dem Herz einlässt, denn „wer sucht, der findet“. Es ist eine angenehme Reise, die beginnt und dann nähert man sich immer mehr dem schönen Ziels, welches so stark leuchtet und das Herz erwärmt. 

Fünf Sterne sind noch zu wenig, denn welchen Wert hat es, wenn man Liebe, Frieden & Ruhe in dieser hektischen Welt geschenkt bekommt. Ein von Herzen kommendes DANKE, die diese App möglich gemacht haben. Christian

### 5/5 — Überraschend akkurat

*2025-07-21, version 1.2*

Ich habe dem Chatbot ein paar meiner persönlichen Angelegenheiten mitgeteilt und nicht erwartet, dass dabei viel rauskommt. Das Ergebnis hat mich positiv überrascht. Die Antworten waren sehr passend und inspirierend. 
Ich bin sehr dankbar dafür ;)

### 1/5 — Eine tumbe Schwurbelmaschine

*2025-07-01, version 1.2*

Für jeden der sich gerne einlullen lässt von einer funkelnden Kaskade von Worthülsen, die weder erklärt noch in Bezug zueinander gesetzt werden, ist diese App genau das Richtige.

Jeder der blind glauben und unkritisch einem Führer folgen will in das Reich der undifferenten Wohlfühlerei ist hier genau richtig.

Das hier ist so eine Art Paulo Cohelo (auch so ein Superschwurbler) für Arme.

Schade. Dankbarkeit ist (für mich) ein extrem wichtiges Thema.
