Juanito.ai: Artificial intelligence expert in the Virgin of Guadalupe

In a world increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence, there emerges Juanito.aian interactive chat designed to be an “expert on the Virgin of Guadalupe and the Guadalupe Event.”

According to the website From this artificial intelligence, Juanito.ai was developed by “El Jardín de Guadalupe”, an apostle training center located at the foot of Pico de Orizaba, in Veracruz. This center, part of the Congregation of the Legionaries of Christ, “aims to serve rural, indigenous and urban communities through the training of pastoral agents with the Guadeloupan spirit and method.”

The launch of this tool took place on a significant date for Latin America: the feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe. According to a statement shared with ACI Prensa, the objective of Juanito.ai is to train “the new Juan Diegos of the present, promoting the understanding and practice of the Guadalupe message, in preparation for the 500 years of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the Tepeyac.”

The design of the platform is inspired by Saint Juan Diego, to whom the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared between December 9 and 12, 1531. In these apparitions, the Virgin asked him to intercede with Fray Juan de Zumárraga—first Bishop of Mexico—to build a temple on the Tepeyac hill. The tilma of San Juan Diego, in which the image of Saint Mary was miraculously captured, is one of the most important symbols of Marian devotion in Mexico.

A comprehensive training tool

Juanito.ai allows users to ask questions about the Guadalupe Event and receive answers “based on the teachings of the Church.” Its purpose is to offer a “solid cultural background” that facilitates “doctrinal enrichment, helping users connect historical events with their daily lives.”

Among the topics it addresses include “the historical event of the apparitions of the Virgin of Guadalupe”, “the life and testimony of Saint Juan Diego”, “the spiritual teachings of the Guadalupe message”, “the Catholic doctrine related to Marian devotion ” and “practical advice for spiritual and apostolic life based on the Guadalupe example.”

Furthermore, the statement emphasizes that Juanito.ai “is not limited to informing; “Its mission is to educate.” This involves generating responses that allow users to explore “practical applications of the Guadalupe Event in their daily lives, contributing to the formation of pastoral agents according to the guidelines and slogans of the Global Pastoral Project 2031-2033, presented by the bishops of Mexico.” .
