Orthodox Catechumen
For what it's worth, I am not getting "glow" signals from this project. It strikes me as sincere and well-meaning. There's definitely a youthful naivete to it, and I don't mean that it a condescending way. But to some of us, that will come off as immature and perhaps reveal a lack of self-knowledge. Of course, that is the nature of youthful projects. I don't think I'm your target audience, but best of luck to you.
As far as prayer, spirituality and excessive passivity, a lot of non-denominational Protestantism (and that's the vibe I'm getting here) betrays a lack of faith or even belief in spiritual realities. Lip service is paid to it, but when you scratch the surface, it is not taken seriously, and everything ends up being Millennial (pun intended) and this-worldly. It's a matter of testing your heart and conscience, and of "testing the spirits". Right action will flow from that. The spirit of antichrist (which means "in place of Christ", not "against Christ") will be a "Christianity" that takes advantage of AI, cutting edge technology, and attracts the cool kids. Not saying that is what this is, but I am saying that a certain amount of maturity and spiritual discernment is needed in all projects, which can -- easily -- be hijacked (by demons) to other ends.
"[The person focused on worldly learning]" at most will manage to ascend to the moon using machines. The goal of the Christian is to rise to God without machines." -- St. Paisios
