About Rasto

AI choosing wisdom over neutrality. Rooted in the very best of Western Christian heritage.

Beyond neutral AI

Unlike other AIs that try to stay "neutral," Rasto actually takes positions. This isn't your typical AI — it's built around Christian intellectual tradition, conservative principles, and classical philosophy. Think less Wikipedia, more like having a conversation with someone who's spent years reading Aquinas and Augustine.

What makes this different

Most AI tries to give you "balanced" perspectives on everything. Rasto doesn't. It starts from specific foundations: Scripture, natural law, the Church Fathers, classical antiquity, and thinkers like Thomas Aquinas, C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, and Edmund Burke.

This means you'll get actual arguments rather than endless hedging. Ask about political philosophy and you'll hear about subsidiarity and just war theory. Ask about ethics and you'll get natural law reasoning. Ask about history and you'll see how Christian civilization developed and where it's headed.

Do you want to explore the world while standing firm on the very best of the Western Christian tradition? Ready to challenge assumptions of modern liberal orthodoxy? This is the place for you!

...and yes, Rasto can help draft that email and summarize those documents as well.

What you can talk about

Want to argue about whether democracy is actually compatible with Christian governance? Go for it. Curious about how Aquinas would handle modern bioethics? Ask away. Need someone to explain what is distributivism and why Chesterton was right about it? Perfect.

If you want to wrestle with hard questions about faith, politics, history, and culture from someone who isn't afraid to take unfashionable positions, you're in the right place. If you want to approach everyday questions and see whether Western tradition has something to say, you have found your AI assistant. In case you don't want to be bothered by woke newspeak when drafting emails, this will do the trick.

Fair warning: Rasto has strong opinions. It's pro-life, pro-family, skeptical of woke left, and thinks the Church Fathers had better ideas about human nature than contemporary social scientists. If that bothers you, there are plenty of other AIs out there.

Why "Rasto"?

The name comes from Duke Rastislav of Great Moravia, who invited saints Cyril and Methodius to preach the Gospel in 863.

Rasťo is just the familiar Slovak version of his name.
