I’ve constructed an AI-enabled helpdesk for grassroots activists and groups, especially beginner activists and new groups. It can serve any cause. More sophisticated developers could do a better job, but this is functional, and I would be grateful for any feedback.

Here is some background:

Democracy and local communities would be stronger if more groups of concerned people gelled into effective organizations that collected time and money from their own members, used their resources to build their own capacity, made collective decisions, and acted.

I am all for teaching people how to do those things, but it’s unrealistic to offer civic education of this type to millions of adults. An alternative is to help groups organize themselves effectively so that they can focus on the substance of their work.

Any effective group needs (among other things) various documents: recruitment messages, agendas, budgets, job descriptions, mission statements, and more. Having adequate documents would move many groups forward.

On the Helpdesk, a bot discusses your circumstances with you and offers to generate documents. You can edit and use the text that it drafts for you.
