Meet Andie, the AI Campaign Companion from Capital Campaign Pro

Hundreds of nonprofits rely on Capital Campaign Pro to plan and run successful campaigns.

In addition to having a dedicated expert advisor, our clients have access to our Online Toolkit. It’s packed with templates, samples, and training videos.

But sometimes, you just need a quick answer to a simple question.

That’s where Andie comes in.

Meet Andie: The AI Capital Campaign Companion

Andie is our new AI-powered campaign companion, built right into the Online Toolkit. She’s available 24/7 to answer day-to-day campaign questions. Whether you have a new team member who isn’t sure what a campaign-specific term means, or you’re looking for a specific resource in the Online Toolkit, or you’d like to kickstart the next conversation with your Capital Campaign Pro expert advisor, Andie is there to help.

She’s trained on decades of insight from Capital Campaign Pro co-founders Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt, so the advice she gives is grounded in real-world fundraising experience.

So what is Andie, exactly?

Andie is a custom-built large language model we’ve been training over the past year using the decades of campaign knowledge and experience from our team.

Think of Andie as a supercharged search bar combined with a campaign-savvy thought partner:

Yes, any fundraiser can ask ChatGPT a question. But general-purpose AI doesn’t always know the difference between a capital campaign and a crowdfunding drive, and it can easily give generic or even misleading answers. Everything Andie shares is grounded in proven best practices from hundreds of real campaigns and our annual benchmark study.

Andie will point you in the right direction, offering suggestions, talking points, and links to helpful resources inside the Online Toolkit.

To Be Clear: Andie is NOT Your Campaign Advisor

We built Andie to make campaigns run more smoothly. But we are not replacing our human advisors with artificial intelligence. (In fact, we wrote an entire post about why we don’t believe AI can replace a human consultant.)

Instead, Andie is a support tool for both our clients and our advisors. Andie can help you show up to meetings already thinking ahead, equipped with new ideas and follow-up questions. Your advisor is still the person who guides your campaign strategy, helps with board dynamics, and adapts the plan to fit your unique situation.

Meanwhile, Andie helps you stay on track in between meetings, giving you answers when you need them, without waiting.

Want to try Andie?

If you’re already a client, you’ll find Andie in the “Your Questions Answered” section of the Online Toolkit. Log in and ask away.
