CASE AI Coffee Chat: Practical Uses of AI, from Due Diligence to Automated Reporting
About

How can AI help advancement teams automate time consuming processes while maintaining quality, consistency and appropriate oversight?

In this AI Coffee Chat, we'll hear two practical case studies showcasing how AI is being applied to solve real operational challenges in advancement. Aidan O'Kane will share how the Ulster team partnered with Doozer.ai to develop "Atlas", an AI digital co-worker that automates donor due diligence, reducing manual effort, accelerating turnaround times and helping protect the university's reputation. Charlotte O'Mahony will then share how AI acted as RCSI's coding partner to transform their labour intensive annual Alumni Engagement Metrics, turning lengthy reporting into a repeatable automated process taking only minutes each time.

Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or looking for practical applications beyond content generation, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of how to identify suitable use cases, work with AI partners to build effective solutions and measure the efficiency gains they can deliver.

The session will cover:

- How to identify operational challenges that are well suited to AI automation.
- Practical approaches to building AI solutions, whether through trusted partners or AI assisted development.
- How AI can automate due diligence, reporting and other repetitive advancement processes while maintaining governance and data protection.
- The efficiency gains, lessons learned and common pitfalls from implementing these projects.
- Time for Q&A and open discussion.
