A WhatsApp AI agent for churches and NGOs answers the message that arrives on a Sunday morning or in the middle of a campaign: “How can I donate?” or “Where do I sign up to volunteer?” The agent answers from the organisation's own documents — donation options, service times, event details, and volunteer roles — while pastoral matters, beneficiary cases, and anything sensitive goes straight to a real person.
What supporters ask, answered in chat
- Donation questions: how to give, where the money goes, and what each fund supports — answered from the organisation's own donation pages and documents.
- Service and event details: times, locations, and what to expect, per congregation or programme, from the organisation's own calendar.
- Volunteer coordination: open roles, shift times, and how to sign up — with the signup link in the same thread.
- Programme FAQs: who a project serves, how to refer someone, and what help is available — answered from the organisation's own materials.
The inbox that never sleeps
Supporters message when they feel moved to act — after a service, during a fundraising appeal, or when a friend forwards a campaign. That window closes fast: a donation question answered tomorrow is a donation made elsewhere, or not at all. But the office is staffed by a small team or volunteers, not watching chat around the clock, so replies arrive late. The agent answers instantly from the organisation's own documents, and the team spends its time on the pastoral and programme work that genuinely needs a human.
An illustrative supporter conversation
The following exchange is illustrative — an example of the shape of a conversation, not a real supporter chat. Supporter: “I'd like to donate to the food programme — how does it work?” Agent: “You can give a one-off or monthly gift through our donation page — the food programme page explains exactly what each gift covers. Shall I send the link?” Supporter: “Yes, and can I volunteer on Saturdays?” Agent: “Saturday volunteer shifts run 9am to 1pm — here's the signup form.” One chat, one gift, one new volunteer.
What to teach the agent before launch
- Donation options and fund descriptions in the organisation's own wording, including the link to the donation page.
- Service times, event calendar, and locations per congregation or programme.
- Volunteer roles, shift times, and the signup process.
- The handoff list: pastoral care, beneficiary cases, complaints, and any sensitive conversation go to a named person.
