Meet Aida, your AI development teammate.
Aida helps your team summarize donor context, draft follow-ups, prepare reports, surface risks, and move fundraising work forward, with every action reviewed before it goes out.
Some teams describe the role as an AI Development Director. Aida fills it as a teammate: she prepares the work, and your team owns every relationship and approves everything that ships.
Fundraising work, prepared and waiting for review.
Aida turns donor, sponsor, grant, event, and board moments into a queue of prepared work on the Work Graph: each item with an owner, a due date, source context, and an approval state. Your team works the queue instead of reconstructing it by hand.

Every draft is grounded in the donor record.
Aida drafts follow-ups, updates, and reports from the gifts, pledges, notes, deadlines, and conversations already on the record. Click any fact in a draft and see the source behind it.
- Drafts cite the gift, note, or deadline they came from
- Reviewers can verify the facts before anything ships
- Grounded drafts replace generic AI text your donors can spot

The development work Aida helps carry.
Aida works the full range of development, not follow-up only. Each of these starts from the same connected record.
Donor summaries
Walk into every donor conversation with the full relationship in view: gifts, sponsorships, notes, events, and the last meaningful touch, summarized from the record.
Grant report starters
Aida pulls outcomes, gifts, and program notes from the same record the deadline lives on, so your grant report starts from a grounded draft instead of a blank page.
Stewardship recommendations
Aida watches for missed follow-up, lapsing recurring gifts, and quiet relationships, then suggests the next step with the context behind it.
Board and major donor prep
Briefings for board asks and major donor meetings, built from relationship history your team can verify before the meeting starts.
