Matthew Harvey Sanders, a former infantry officer and seminarian, is the Founder and CEO of Longbeard. The company's flagship product, Magisterium AI, is the world's leading Catholic answer engine, serving users in over 190 countries.

Longbeard also developed Vulgate AI, an advanced library platform powering a historic digitization project with the Pontifical universities in Rome. Later this year, the company will release Ephrem, the world's first trained Catholic AI.

Matthew was among the technology leaders invited to the Vatican for the presentation of Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on artificial intelligence, and has addressed the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, the Council of European Bishops' Conferences (CCEE), and parliamentarians at the House of Lords of the United Kingdom Parliament.
