About the Client
ChurchSocial.ai (formerly Discipls.io) is a SaaS platform that helps churches turn sermons into short‑form clips, generate branded graphics, schedule posts, and track performance across major social channels. The leadership needed a faster, more reliable content pipeline that volunteers could use without a steep learning curve, along with integrations common in church workflows.
Challenges
- Manual clip pipeline increased content latency and operator toil
- API rate limits caused peak-time posting failures across platforms
- Inconsistent brand tokens across templates and generated assets
- Limited channel analytics hindered scheduling optimization and strategy
- Poor mobile Web Vitals degraded reach and shareability

Build AI-Driven Social Platforms
We create scalable apps that automate engagement, content, and community workflows.
Architecture Overview
The platform is multi‑tenant with per‑tenant Postgres schemas and scoped CDN/API credentials for clean isolation and fault containment.
Next.js App Router with React Server Components renders dashboards server‑side to shrink bundles, while ISR and image optimization keep public pages fast.
A queue‑driven posting layer signs requests, retries with backoff, and uses circuit breakers across social APIs; media ingest and transcoding run on workers so interfaces stay responsive, with traces and metrics safeguarding SLAs.
