The outcomes

Where your data goes

Your AI handles the heavy lifting of data entry and messaging.

FINANCIALS

Updated Tithe.ly records

The AI uses create_transaction to log the gift. Your ledger stays current with every chat command.

COMMUNICATION

Sent donor receipts

The AI uses send_email to deliver a confirmation. Donors get their proof of giving instantly.

ACCURACY

Matched donor info

The AI maps the names and amounts you provide to the right fields. This prevents manual typing errors.

HUMAN

Your final approval

The AI won't execute a transaction or send an email until you confirm the details in chat. You stay in control of every action.

The workflow

What your AI does when a donation arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your conversation and Tithe.ly.

  2. Log the entry

    The AI pushes the finalized donation details into Tithe.ly. This creates the official financial record.

  3. Prepare the receipt

  4. Dispatch email
