Movement aligned,
model agnostic.

A single AI workspace for data, fundraising, operations, and communications. Pre-built workflows for the work you do every day; choose the model that fits the task, the moment, and the mission.

Zero data retention · MFA on every account · Wipe your data any time. How we build

Model agnostic, for real

Choose the model. See the trade-offs.

Every task shows the risk tier, energy per run, and data-center region of the model you're about to use, before you use it. This is the real picker, fed by the same catalog as the product.

Select a model for: donor research brief
Overall risk tier
lowest category tier, capped where evidence is thin
Energy per run
estimate, per query
Grid region

Figures from published evaluations (HELM, Scale FORTRESS and MASK, vendor system cards) as recorded in the platform's model catalog, rev 5, 9 Aug 2026. Energy model is trained from energy grid data, accounting for hourly, daily, weekly, monthly modulations.

01 · Data

Records that finally agree.

Upload exports from your CRM or ActBlue, connect Google Drive, or drop in a spreadsheet. The platform reconciles, standardizes, and makes the result searchable in minutes.

Integrated Data Access

Connect, import, and reconcile — without manual cleansing.

Pull datasets from Google Drive and uploaded exports. Data is reconciled, standardized, and made searchable automatically, with a match-quality report for every import.

Eliminates the data-cleaning bottleneck that drains development teams every cycle.
Universal Search

Every person and donor you know, with giving by committee.

Search across your source files and national contribution data. Results show source and confidence; records stay updated as the underlying data changes.

Replaces five disconnected lookups with one.
Reports Generation

Build the report by describing it.

A plain-text builder with live preview, five chart types, recurring schedules, and PDF export. Methodology is visible behind every number.

Self-serve reporting — no SQL, no BI license, no analyst in the loop.
Your Data, Your Control

You own your data and control what stays in the platform and for how long.

Erase everything you gave us at any time. Your admins can delete every imported record from the workspace settings page.

No ticket, no waiting on us.
02 · Fundraising

More time talking to donors. Less time researching them.

Research donors, run call time, plan an event, and build prospect universes in minutes with researched backgrounds and suggested asks. Spend up to 90% less time on manual research.

Donor Research

Pre-call briefs and full dossiers.

Giving history, capacity, ties to the campaign, talking points, and compliance flags, with the methodology published in the app. Export to PDF or Word.

Replaces 20 minutes of manual research per prospect.
Call Time Prep

Prioritized call sheet with per-donor cards.

Contact details, suggested ask, recent giving, past call history, talking points, links to social media and external press — all in one card per call.

More productive hours during call time, fewer dropped calls.
Event Planning

End-to-end fundraising events.

Financial target, host committee, contribution tiers, invite list, run-of-show, budget-to-net. Or use targeting mode to find prospect-rich geographies.

Event planning from days to hours.
Prospect Universes

Researched prospects in minutes.

Build prospect universes from bundler lists, board lists, or any contact file. Capacity modeling against the national dataset, with researched backgrounds and suggested asks.

Unlock bundler contributions that would otherwise sit dormant.
Committee Overlap

Who gives to campaigns like yours?

Find donors to any committee whose giving pattern matches your race, then check them against your own list in one query.

Prospecting from the national dataset, not a purchased list.
03 · Operations

The administrative backbone for a campaign or organization.

Standardized briefs, personalized morning briefings, and schedule optimization that weighs drive time and campaign priorities. All provided with a full audit trail of who did what, on which model, at what environmental cost.

Briefcase

Standardized briefs for any meeting.

Meetings, events, fundraising events, debates, town halls — built from prior context and relevant docs. Brief once, use everywhere. Plus personalized daily briefings: calendar, key updates, news, project activity, and today's priorities, delivered as a styled doc each morning.

Replaces last-minute prep scrambles.
Schedule Optimization

Vet requests, draft complex schedules.

Draft schedules around campaign priorities and current calendar conflicts. Drive time estimates, geographic clustering, and event tier weighting built in.

Monthly schedule in 30 minutes instead of two days.
Energy Aware AI

Run heavy work on clean energy.

Watch spend per user, audit who did what, and run heavy jobs on the cleanest available energy. Customers get quantitative data on how their choices mitigated environmental impact.

Align AI usage with your values — and prove it to your board.
04 · Communications

More you. Less drift.

Voice profiles from your candidate's speeches, drafting in that voice, and cited sources on every factual claim. In beta with partner campaigns; draft screening before publish is next.

Engagement Tracking Voice-Aligned Drafting Fact-Checking & Screening
Library

User tested prompts your team can run on day one.

Curated, configurable, and saveable. Each one names its inputs and what you get back.

How we build

Every workflow is built on the same foundation.

Bias visible. Energy accounted for. Security at the architecture level, not as configuration. The same principles run under every module.

Bounded by Expertise

Your judgment, built in.

Human-centered, human-directed. Oversight is the default, not the opt-in.

Transparent by Design

Methodology in the open.

Risk tiers and energy data surfaced inside the product before you run, with sources you can click through to.

Energy Conscious AI

Cleanest region by default.

Model size visible. Job scheduling by grid demand. Cleanest AWS region as the default.

Security: Internal & External

Every path covered.

Single-stack, no external AI APIs, customer-managed keys, private inference, full audit logs.
