PRODUCTION INTEGRATION · PRAYWITHME.FAITH

A safer AI provider boundary for Prayer Companion

PrayWithMe.faith routes its AI-assisted Prayer Companion through ProviderDock so provider credentials, usage controls, routing, and future provider choices remain outside the ministry application.

THE CHALLENGE

Protect a sensitive ministry experience from provider complexity

A direct provider integration puts credential handling, provider-specific errors, metering, and migration work inside the PrayWithMe.faith codebase. Prayer text is sensitive, so the ministry also needs a clear operational boundary that does not retain prompt or response content.

THE APPROACH

Keep the Prayer Companion route and move infrastructure behind it

  • A dedicated production tenant isolates credentials and usage.
  • The OpenAI key is validated and envelope-encrypted in ProviderDock.
  • A server-only token with gateway:invoke replaces direct provider credentials.
  • The existing endpoint and ministry safeguards remain unchanged.
  • Operational records exclude prayer prompts and generated responses.

THE EXPERIENCE

Prayer Companion stays focused on prayer

These representative production screens show the request and response flow. ProviderDock works behind the server endpoint, so visitors never see provider infrastructure or credentials.

THE OUTCOME

A production boundary built for reliability and change

The integration centralizes provider operations without redesigning the Prayer Companion experience.

Credential isolationProvider secrets stay encrypted and outside the ministry codebase.
Prompt-free operationsUsage, latency, status, and token counts are recorded without prayer content.
Predictable safeguardsRate limits, alerts, revalidation, failover, and rollback remain testable.
Provider flexibilityAnthropic or Azure OpenAI can be added later without changing the browser boundary.
