Welcome to AI for Good News

AI is here. Now what? Perhaps you've used a few online prompts, hoping for big gains, only to find yourself staring at the screen, thinking, "Is that all?"

Or maybe you've bypassed Google for ChatGPT and left the chat feeling... well, “I could have had a V8.”

Ever caught yourself telling a colleague, "Honestly, it's not a big deal"?

This newsletter is for you.

We’re cutting through the noise and skipping the tech jargon. Forget the fluff and the overwhelm—we’re here to show you simple, effective ways to communicate with AI that will actually make your work better and/or easier. Because in fact there is AI for good news like:

• A nonprofit projected to save $75K annually in productivity after implementing ChatGPT
• A nonprofit that secured $250K in grants with proposals written 80% by AI
• A nonprofit leader who increased their salary by putting their new AI skills to good use.

Everyone on our team has been where you are. We have been a team of one, inundated, tired but still so fired up about the work. Our role is to support you to create a culture where AI takes on the grind, while you deliver the mission.

And that is the best news of all. We’re glad you’re here.
