AI is ubiquitous in seemingly every software available, but most AI use-cases can seem clunky and don’t seem to fit the bill for what advocacy professionals actually need. That's why we built AdvocacyAI. Listen to the whole conversation on the Great Battlefield Podcast.
But in the meantime, here's what we recommend for the best AI practices for advocacy programs.
AI can easily be a gimmick on many platforms, but what makes it valuable is when it’s integrated into the platform itself. What that means: AI is used to enhance your workflows and messaging, not entirely replace it. Good messaging is human; your audience can tell when they see a general form email or form message.
At its core, an AI-native advocacy tool helps organizations:
What sets AI apart is the ability to learn from existing data. What sets a good AI-integrated platform apart is the ability to take that machine learning and pair it with your expertise. Rather than just generating form letters to legislators, it helps advocates see the nuance in communication—whether that's how different demographics respond to a campaign or why a particular message drives higher conversion.
In short: it doesn’t just automate messaging. It makes messaging smarter.
There are enterprise-grade tools designed for organizations with large teams, but most organizations need a tool for small teams of one or more that can scale with them. These groups often lack the resources of big political campaigns or corporate lobbying firms, yet they need the same sophistication in their outreach.
Look for AI tools that prioritize accessibility. AI should help level the playing field, not widen the gap. It gives smaller advocacy teams the power to act with the precision of data-driven campaigns without needing a team of analysts.
AdvocacyAI represents a shift in what modern advocacy programs can achieve. Generalized form emails aren’t enough. Genuine persuasion starts with personal connection powered by data at scale.
Our vision is simple: Let’s make advocacy more effective, empathetic, and impactful.
