AI Lab
Practical uses of AI in an NGO, with the checks a person must still make. Start with the rules, then try one small workflow.
Free tool
AI use policy builder
Answer a few questions and get a draft policy for your board. This is a form that assembles text. It does not use AI.

AI readiness check
Ten statements on leadership, people, data, policy and practice, with next steps.
Open the checkBefore you paste anything into an AI tool, run it through the AI redaction checker, or start from a safe AI prompt kit. Both run in your browser and send nothing anywhere.
Four places to start
These are sample workflows that describe how to use an AI tool your organisation has approved. Nothing on this page is connected to an AI service, and no data is sent anywhere.
| Use | Suitable inputs | What you get | A person must check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Policy development | Your existing policies and the decisions your board has made | A first draft policy in your own structure | That it reflects your law, your funders' rules and what the board decided |
| Drafting approved documents | Your own notes, past reports and a funder's public guidance | A first draft of a report section or a concept note | Every fact and figure, and that no claim goes beyond your evidence |
| Knowledge search | Internal manuals, policies and non-personal project documents | Quick answers with the source passage | That the source is current and the answer matches it |
| Administrative support | Meeting notes, agendas and schedules without personal details | Minutes, action lists and reminders | Names, dates and decisions before anything is circulated |
