Maker

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Dara, the maker of Pewbeam.
This started with a tweet in August 2025: “I want to build a Bible presentation AI agent for church use.” I'm a product designer, not an engineer, but I couldn’t let the idea go. Every Sunday, the same scene: the pastor references a verse, the projection volunteer scrambles, and the moment passes.
Pewbeam listens to sermons in real time and instantly displays the correct Bible verse on screen, even when the pastor paraphrases. Detection is under 80 milliseconds.
I built it in Nigeria first. Unreliable internet, power cuts, varied hardware. If it works here, it works anywhere. The core runs completely offline.
Our first live church test was in October 2025. It just worked. A church member said, “Pewbeam changed the way I follow sermons completely.” Since launching publicly, we’ve had over 2,000 downloads and 20 paying subscribers in the first 48 hours, entirely through word of mouth from church to church.
The app includes AI verse detection, animated presentations, NDI + HDMI broadcast output, AI sermon notes, and live transcripts. A free tier is available for small churches.
Scriptures are live now, with slides coming next month. I’d love your feedback. Drop your questions below!
I led the brand design and collaborated on Pewbeam's website.
Design brief? Make a faith tool feel like top-tier software. Warm enough for Sunday morning. Sharp enough for a tech launch. That tension is where the best work happens.
The brand had to connect with three audiences simultaneously: the pastor who needs to stay in flow, the projection volunteer who is usually one step behind, and the church media team managing a live broadcast. One visual language. Three different pain points.
The website had one task: when you land on it, you immediately understand what Pewbeam does and why your church needs it within five seconds. No jargon. No friction. Just clarity.
Watching it evolve from a brand concept to something churches actively use every Sunday, that's the feeling you aim to create.

It's honestly a brilliant bit of niche AI. You know that frantic energy in a church projection booth when the pastor starts quoting a verse and the projection team is scrambling to type it in EasyWorship? PewBeam basically kills that stress.
Building Pewbeam has been an iterative process, testing, shipping, and listening to feedback from projectionists and church members across different congregations. The core challenge was always speed and reliability: it had to work instantly, even with no internet, on whatever hardware the church already had.
The product has been built to addressed a common frustration shared by both church members and projectionists. We'd love for you to try it and tell us what you think.

I Just know this product is really gonna change the church presentation, itll give media guys like us some time to chill out 😂
Pewbeam is that idea we call “Simple but Essential” because I’ve seen this problem in real time happen around, at churches I’ve attended. This one deserves to save churches in having a more profound experience during service and it’s very very lovelyyyy (I’ve seen it work)… thank you for this amazing product, Dara and the team.

Pewbeam is solving a problem that has taunted me for years, I head the Media team in a church, and when the scripture doesn't pop on the screen like is expected, my heart sinks at the disappointment on the preacher's face and the synchronised stares congregants send towards the media booth. Glad to finally see a solution to this long age challenge. Kudos to @darasoba and the entire team.
