Build, deploy, and scale AI applications and services with foundational values-alignment and governance at the core

Gloo (NASDAQ:GLOO), a leading technology platform serving the faith and flourishing ecosystem, today announced Gloo AI Studio, a production-grade AI development platform for faith-based and mission-driven developers. With access to a suite of values-aligned AI models, Gloo AI Studio provides enterprise teams and individual developers with governance, observability, and operational controls to build, deploy, and scale AI applications and services.

As AI adoption accelerates and shifts from generative to agentic AI, mission-driven organizations face a growing challenge: deploying powerful AI in production environments, within governance and accountability frameworks, while maintaining alignment with their mission and values. Gloo solves this problem by embedding values alignment directly into the infrastructure – making AI safer, more accurate, and better aligned with the specific worldviews of mission-driven organizations.

Gloo AI Studio users can select from a curated list of the world's most powerful and useful models with knowledge that their responses are aligned and designed to be safe for the faith and flourishing ecosystem's needs. From inference and retrieval pipelines to managed governance for usage, monitoring, and billing, Gloo AI Studio gives developers the tools needed to build AI solutions at scale.

As a result, developers can create a variety of practical, mission-aligned AI applications and solutions. For example:

A developer can build an application that uses specific books in the Bible to power a daily devotional assistant or build a Christian community app with built-in content moderation.
A university can integrate values-aligned AI into coursework, equipping students to build digital chaplaincy tools or theological natural language processing systems.
Churches, nonprofits, publishers, and even large technology partners can deploy AI for pastoral care insights, spiritually-aware study tools, donor engagement, or doctrinally-aligned content adaptation.

"AI infrastructure decisions made today will shape how intelligence is distributed and trusted for decades," said Steele Billings, President of Gloo AI at Gloo. "We built Gloo AI Studio so governance and values alignment are foundational, not optional. Our platform enables teams to move fast without cutting corners — embedding accountability, consistency, and control into every AI deployment."

Developers can begin immediately using the playground feature in Gloo AI Studio to compare model responses and test how values-aligned guardrails perform across real prompts. For enterprises already building with existing AI providers, Gloo AI Studio also offers OpenAI-compatible APIs, allowing developers to integrate with minimal code changes by simply updating authentication and endpoint configurations.

Additionally, organizations can ground Gloo AI Studio responses in their own proprietary content through Gloo's Data Engine, enabling retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows that allow applications to reference trusted organizational knowledge when generating answers. Gloo AI Studio includes these capabilities:

Access to a curated set of world-class models (including OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, as well as leading open source models) optimized for ministry workloads such as assistants, search, content generation, domain-specific reasoning, and more.
API-first support for inference, RAG, and assistant workflows.
Model routing and workload management, enabling dynamic selection of the appropriate model per request. This architecture allows developers to route requests across multiple models while maintaining consistent policy controls and alignment requirements.
Gloo AI Studio builds safety, governance, and values-alignment directly into the AI infrastructure — using guardrails, evaluation systems, and policy controls at the harness of every model we support that informs the model how to behave and respond.
Resilience against adversarial behavior, including fine-tuning and evaluation using large-scale synthetic datasets and automated attack testing.
Stable, repeatable model behavior that reduces brittle system-prompt dependence and improves consistency at scale.
Observability and usage management, including analytics, monitoring, and billing, that are designed for team and enterprise environments.

Gloo AI Studio is part of a broader set of platform solutions from Gloo that are designed to power the technology and reach of mission-driven organizations across the faith and flourishing ecosystem. Gloo AI Studio is also used across Gloo teams and its capital partners to expand and build new solutions and services, such as Ministry Chat (currently in private beta), in Gloo 360 and the Gloo Media Network, and at Midwestern and Servant.

Gloo will also be attending the Missional AI Global Summit as a premier sponsor, and Gloo AI Studio will be featured and demonstrated during the event. It will also play a central role in the upcoming Gloo AI Hackathon, where developers will showcase new applications built on the platform. The event will be held in Boulder, CO, on October 6-10, 2026, (view last year's event here). Additional capabilities, including agentic AI services, are expected to be introduced later this year.
