Making AI Accessible To Everyone

ChatGPT launched in November 2022, and within 2 months had 100 million users making it the fastest growing app in Internet history. The tech giants are pouring £ billions into what is known as generative AI.  We think there will be huge changes, very quickly, it'll be a bumpy ride and a major risk for some kinds of charities, if they ignore it. 

But we also think it's a huge opportunity for everyone in the sector and won't lead to major job losses.  And that the major challenge for the sector isn't the AI itself, but how we enable access to its potential for everyone, not least the small and marginalised groups, who are far too often left behind. 

Our aim is to democratise access to AI by

making it available to help everyone and using it to enable charities achieve far more.

CHARITY AI SERVICES

We are launching an increasing range of AI services to meet the needs of charities and have begun migrating all of our systems to a single AI Concierge Service.  We're also working to develop AI thinking, tools and processes to support everyone in the sector. 

Just click the AI tech bunny icon in the bottom right of any web page or in-system and tell it what you need.  Ask as many questions as you wish to, they're free, available 24/7 and will not collect any personal information. Ask short questions, with key words, then click return.  

• It'll find the best answer it can for you, usually with a link to the resource you want or an organisation which can help you. 
• Underneath this, it may display up to 3 links to other organisations or resources it thinks may also be of use to you and.
• Underneath this, it may also display - Next Answer.  Click this to see what other answers it thinks might help you.

Ask Me Anything - Help With Running Your Non Profit

We're subject to all the normal regulation, but also a huge amount of charity and other non-profit regulation and, besides, it takes a lot more to run a non-profit than just the rules.  There's a huge amount of advice, resources and help out there.  Charity Excellence helps you by tapping into and promoting the huge collective expertise of the sector to make it incredibly quick and simple to find what you need.   Tell the tech bunny what you want, and it'll not only check the dozens of regulator websites, but also those of sector professional organisation that provide simple, clear guidance written for non-profits, and will connect you to free expert support and advice. 

GPT3 AI SERVICE - GRANT FUNDING BID WRITER SERVICE

Our free grant funding bid writing uses GPT3, which is the software that ChatGPT uses. 

You first need to register with Charity Excellence - it's free.  Login and click the tech bunny icon in the bottom right of your screen. The tech bunny on the website provides our welfare services, but cannot write bids. 

You'll be aksed a series of questions, then the tech bunny will draft a bid.  As long as you have the information needed to hand, it should take no more than 10 minutes.  Here's everything you need to know to use this service 

The next GPT3 service is being designed. 

Welfare Support & Funding For Individuals & Families

Do You Need Help? Our estimated 14 million staff and volunteers are brilliant, but work in often very difficult roles and few have access to any formal welfare support.  If you need any kind of help, or funding for yourself or your family, including help to protect yourself from abuse, ask the website tech bunny.  Chatting to them is completely anonymous.  The AI bunny cannot provide advice, but will use what you tell it to source organisations who help people and those that provide financial support.      

FAQS

Here is a bit more about how our AI services work. 

Will It Collect Data About Me?

The tech bunnies do not ask for, nor collect any personal information about you at all. Using them is completely anonymous and no one will ever know what you chatted about. 

Is It Really Free?

The AI machine learning software used is provided at no cost by Biomni and the tech bunnies were built and run on an unpaid basis by the Charity Excellence CIO.  Help from the tech bunnies is completely free, you can ask as many questions as you want to and use them as often as you wish to. 

How Do The AI Tech Bunnies Work?

They are Artificial Intelligence (AI) avatars that use machine learning, which essentially means that the more they chat to people the better they will get at answering questions.  They use an AI platform provided free by Biomni. 

The bid writing service uses an interface with the ChatGPT large language model, but remains as simple as all other service sto use.  You just answer the questions and the etch bunny will do everything for you, then e mail you your funding bid. 

The bunnies find what you need using the cahritry sector knowledge banks we've built for them, but are happy to chat about pretty much anything. Just don't mention the vet or carrots.

Limitations

We use our in-depth knowledge of the sector to source the best advice we can and then train the tech bunnies, but we are not lawyers nor accountants and cannot provide professional advice.  Moreover, as at Apr 23, the bunnies success rate in answering questions had increased from 73% in Jan 23 to 87%.  We will continue to train them, to improve on this, but they are not infallible.  When they give you an answer, check to see if this is the help you need and you are comfortable approaching the organisation, or using the online resource, and have a look at the additional prompts they will provide.  If you don't get the answer you need, try asking your question in a slightly different way, using different key words.
