Journeymen AI Automation Suite

A practical guide that takes a nonprofit from zero to useful with AI in one afternoon, no code and no budget required.

The setup: Three steps. Tell Claude who you are (personal preferences), connect the four tools that matter (Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Calendar, Google Drive), and set up a folder with context that loads automatically.

The automations: Nine focused builds tuned for how Journeymen Triangle actually operates. Retention alerts when a mentee misses sessions, facilitator debrief summaries, a donor thank-you pipeline, mentor scheduling, mentee onboarding, ROPAW event planning, impact reports, and grant-writing assist.

What Journeymen is, if you have not heard of it: Journeymen Triangle is a Raleigh and Asheville nonprofit, founded in 2009, that mentors adolescent boys on the way to becoming men of integrity. Mentors build real, non-judgmental friendships with the young men they work with. It was featured on ABC11 and won the 2024 Triangle NC Cares Award. Jordan Bowman co-founded it with his father and runs it as Executive Director. If you want to volunteer or donate, start at journeymentriangle.org.

Why it matters: The whole thing is built on one principle: AI gets better the more it knows about you and your work. Generic chatbot, generic answers. An AI that knows your org, your programs, and your voice gives you answers you can actually use.

Status: done. This was a one-shot build and it shipped. The guide is live, Jordan and the crew have it, and it does not need me to keep tending it. That is the best outcome for something built for someone else. Any small nonprofit can use it as-is.
