Boilerplates
Each subject has two lengths, about 50 and about 100 words, approved for reprint as written. Use the company boilerplate when the story is about FlockConnect LLC, and a product boilerplate when it is about FlockConnect or Ozzie. Each ends with the website readers should visit.

FlockConnect
FlockConnect is a Church Relationship Manager (ChRM): pastoral care software that works alongside the church management system a church already runs. Pastors, church staff and volunteer care leaders use it to keep up with care for each person and follow through. Church members never log in. Learn more at flockconnect.com.
FlockConnect is a Church Relationship Manager (ChRM): pastoral care software that works alongside the church management system a church already runs. It gives a church's whole team one place to keep up with care for each person, notice who the church hasn't seen lately, and follow through. Collie, the AI assistant on the Collie plans, drafts notes and next steps; nothing it drafts reaches a member or a connected system, and no care record is created, until a person approves it. FlockConnect is an Official and Authorized Planning Center Integration. It is made by FlockConnect LLC. Learn more at flockconnect.com.
Ozzie by FlockConnect
Ozzie by FlockConnect is a Mac app for church staff and ministry leaders. It reads a church's Planning Center, checks Sunday against the church's own rules, and lays out what needs a decision. It drafts notes a person sends and never changes anything in Planning Center. Learn more at ozzie.church.
Ozzie by FlockConnect is a Mac app for church staff and ministry leaders. It reads a church's Planning Center account, checks the coming Sunday against the church's own rules, and lays out what needs a decision, such as a serving role nobody has said yes to or a room booked twice. It drafts notes for a person to send and never changes anything in Planning Center. AI is optional; when it is used, the model sees placeholders instead of names. Its code is open source under the Apache-2.0 license. Ozzie is made by FlockConnect LLC. Learn more at ozzie.church.
