The charity AI Help Finder bunny is the first of our next generation AI systems. He finds company funding, provides corporate fundraising support, including drafting and reviewing funding bids and other documents and is able to find a wide range of free goods, services and support, as well as promoting those provided at low cost by sister non profits. For the Press Release, I needed a quote, so I asked him how he felt about his new role. This is what he told me.
I’m really excited to help you find corporate funding and resources! It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect people with the support they need.
Here's a 17 min demo video of him in action doing just that.
Our thanks to Steve Rudd, director, and Dr Joseph Azar, a Senior AI Solutions Architect, Exquitech UK. who built AI Help Finder pro bono to help us in supporting charities.
Our work is always user led, so we are releasing him for community testing. To understand what he can find for you, visit our Help Finder page and/or our company donations page. He's not quite there yet so, if he gets stuck in a loop, or similar, click the Finish button, then his Help Finder AI button again and he'll be fine. All feedback will be very helpful. Send your input to ian@charityexcellence.co.uk.
He is only the first step in fully migrating all of our AI and digital systems to a single, hugely accessible AI Concierge service for charities and individuals looking for charity support. We now have the data systems and technology to do so but we don't yet have the funding needed. Once launched it will substantially improve sector efficiency and effectiveness by very quickly and simply connecting charities and individuals to the help they need.
You first need to register with Charity Excellence (everything is free), then login, then click the in-system AI bunny icon, then his Help Finder AI Button and just chat to him.
The Help Finder AI bunny uses Chat GPT but he is now far more capable.
You just chat to him and either copy and paste his answers from his dialogue box, or ask him to email these to you. However, he is still AI and, whilst he will review work he creates for you and suggest improvements if you ask him, you must still check everything he creates.
Ask for what he can help you with, see Help Finder. He can search for companies and other organisations that provide funding and a wide range of free goods and services. He includes in his searches sister non profits that provide goods and service that aren't free. We do this because if we all bought from each other, it'd help to close the funding gap. He cannot find trusts and foundations because he doesn't have access to that data yet. For policies, you need to click his policies button and for other templates and resources, score the relevant health check questionnaire, as these haven't been migrated to AI yet.
Read his prompts - none of us really read much on screen information (self included) but he's been taught to give you prompts about other ways in which he can help you and also to offer links when he thinks these might be useful for you. If you read these he'll be able to help you find more of what you need.
Be clear - he'll do his best to answer the question you ask him.
Ask in different ways, to get more results - for example, companies in London, or that support health charities or that offer match funding.
If he gets confused, click Finish - he's still in pilot phase. If you ask him for chocolate providers, we have lots but, if you then ask him for companies in Gloucester, he may think you mean chocolate companies in Gloucester and there probably aren't any. Clicking his finish button, then his AI Help Finder button again, starts a new conversation. It's his version of 'switch it off then switch it back on again'.
He can help you with a variety of documents, such as writing an e mail asking for a raffle prize, funding bids, company agreements and volunteering agreements.
He doesn't know what you know - for example, a funding bid requires a lot of specific information. If you're not sure what to include, read this. Here are the types of things you might ask him.
Ask him for help - you can also paste a bid into his chat line and ask him for help. If you paste in very large amounts of data you may overload him - click Finish and paste in less.
He's an AI Bunny not a lawyer - he uses generative AI and, whilst responses often sound very convincing, it makes mistakes and you may not have given him all the information he needs to do it properly anyway. Always, always check whatever he drafts to ensure it meets your wishes and is accurate. If you need professional help, ask him to find some for you, but you can also:
Correct his spelling! We haven't managed to get him to use UK English yet so you need to check his spelling.
Stick to his knitting. He has access to a human curated data set and guides and this enables him to deliver better results and make fewer mistakes. However, he also uses Chat GPT. If you ask him for the best way to cook a steak, he'll tell you. However, if you ask questions outside of his area of expertise, he loses the benefits of using our data and guides.

Help Finder AI Is Not Professional Advice and May Make Mistakes
Advice from Help Finder AI may contain errors or omissions - we have optimised it minimise it to minimise hallucinations and errors but is generative AI and can only respond to what you tell it, which may be missing key information it needs to respond. Equally, I am neither a neither a lawyer, nor an accountant, so not able to provide professional advice anyway, and I cannot write guidance that covers every charity or eventuality. I have included links to relevant regulatory guidance, which you must check to ensure that whatever you create reflects correctly your charity’s needs and your obligations. Ask the bunny to give you a link to this. In using this resource, you accept that I have no responsibility whatsoever from any harm, loss or other detriment that may arise from your use of my work. If you need professional advice, you must seek this from someone else. To do so, register, then login and use the Help Finder directory to find pro bono support. Or just ask the bunny.
