A Remarkable Journey : From Humble Beginnings to a Leading Christian AI App in Korea
It's with immense joy and gratitude that we introduce ourselves as the team behind WeBible, known as "์ด์" in Korea. Our journey began on a Friday evening, March 17th, when we launched our initial service, '์ฃผ๋AI'. With a modest start, reaching out to about 50 of our Christian friends, we never anticipated the overwhelming response that followed. Within hours, our service went viral across various Korean online communities, from Blind and Disquiet to Funny University and Twitter.
In just a week, we witnessed a surge in engagement. From an initial 50 users, we quickly escalated to receiving thousands of questions daily. By the weekend, we had accumulated 4,000 queries, and within a few days, this number reached 10,000. Today, under the name '์ด์', we proudly serve over 30,000 monthly users, making us a leading Christian daily app in Korea.
Our mission has always been genuine and straightforward: to provide a platform where Christians can find solace, answers, and guidance through the Word of God. We've worked diligently to ensure our service remains authentic, seeking advice from pastors and ensuring our content aligns with Christian teachings.
As we embark on this new venture to introduce WeBible to a global audience, we carry with us the successes and lessons from our journey in Korea. We are more than just an app; we are a testament to the power of faith, community, and technology coming together. As we take this leap, we humbly seek your support and partnership in spreading the Word and making a difference in the lives of Christians worldwide.
