AI that delivers impact for mission-driven teams.

Mission-driven teams and their stakeholders already know AI matters. Nearly every org's team members are using it on an ad-hoc basis. But most orgs don't have the engineers to build on its foundation, or a plan which aligns the team on how to use it. And there are serious risks that require careful consideration.

We help climate and impact organizations, small and large, find the uses of AI that are actually worth prioritizing, and turn them into working tools, no engineering team required. You get plain answers, a clear plan, risks mitigated, and a tool your team owns — with the confidence to run it yourselves.

How do we leverage AI for greater impact when we don't trust it?

With AI, what could we be doing that we couldn't do before?

Our board, funders or investors expect us to use AI. Where do we start?

We don't have engineers. What can we do without hiring them?

We have so much data. How do we get insights out of it that our team can't already find with existing tools?

How do we keep AI costs from running away unchecked?

01 · Advise

A clear plan your team aligns on

Plain answers on where AI is worth it for your mission, where it isn't, and what it will cost — so your board, funders or investors, and staff pull in one direction.

02 · Design

A tool shaped around your people

We design the tool or workflow in detail — what it does, who uses it, how it fits the work — so it can be built by your team or by us.

03 · Build

A working tool your team owns

We build it, hand it over, and provide support so your team has the confidence to run it themselves. More efficiency achieved, more time back for the mission.

Your data goes only where you've agreed it can, and it stays yours.

Runaway costs

Running costs are estimated before we deliver. And we provide guidance on how to keep those costs in check afterward.

Mission & reputation

We help you decide where AI fits your values, including its environmental footprint and its biases, and where it doesn't.
