Built for churches who value their sermon archive
Haystack combines AI-powered search, intelligent organization, and powerful analytics to transform your sermon library into a living discipleship tool.
Everything you need to make your sermons searchable
Search & Discovery
Search That Actually Works
Your people can finally find that sermon they remember. Search understands what they mean, not just the exact words they type. Results show video clips at the exact moment the topic was discussed.
Smarter Recommendations
When someone finishes a message, show them other sermons on similar topics. Keep them engaged with your content instead of losing them to the algorithm.
Instant Answers to Questions
Get quick summaries that answer specific questions by pulling from multiple messages. Your theology, your voice, in every answer.
Natural Language Search
Your congregation can ask questions naturally, like they're talking to a person. No need to remember exact phrases or sermon titles.
Bible & Scripture Integration
Automatic Scripture Tagging
We automatically tag each message with the Bible passages you preach from. Make it easy for people to find all your messages on specific passages.
Verse-Based Search
Someone asks what you've preached on Romans 8? Pull it up instantly. Search by any book, chapter, or verse across your entire library.
Key Verse Highlights
Showcase the most important scripture references in each message so people can find them quickly. Highlight them in the search results and on the message page.

Every Bible passage gets its own page showing all the times you've taught from it. Perfect for small groups and Bible studies.
