Sample APPRENTICE projects:
Here are a examples of ways we're helping other sponsors:
Multi-lingual Triage
Helping a local charter school with a large refugee population (speaking over 8 languages) triage calls to their front desk. Creating an AI Phone system that conducts real-time translation between admin and parent calling in. Keeps from having to pull students out of class to help with translation.
Grant Writing
Identifying and creating grant responses takes days. Inconsistent outputs and lots of meeting overhead. Two AI bots, one that finds relevant grants and a second that creates first draft grant applications (incorporating previous grant applications to increase consistency)
Onboarding Assistant
Foster organization onboarding new volunteers can be a time-consuming and frequent process. To streamline this, the organization has created an on-boarding bot from centralized standard operating procedures (SOPs) and policies.
With these resources in place, new volunteers can access the information they need 24/7 through various channels such as chat, phone, and email. This allows them to get their questions answered quickly and efficiently, without overburdening the organization's staff.
