AI agent for fundraisers
Auction Item Procurement Tracker Agent
Track every auction donation request from promise to pickup to catalog and flag gaps against the gala plan
What it does
Auction donations are promised and never collected. The agent tracks every request from first contact through promise, pickup and entry in the catalog. It checks item descriptions and values for completeness and flags any that need more detail, such as expiry or restrictions. It drafts reminders for promised items, thank-you notes for received items and updates the catalog. It compares totals with the gala plan by category and value and flags gaps. It proposes new targets to fill gaps. The fundraiser approves outreach. Edge case: a restaurant promised a dinner voucher, but its description lacks an expiry date, and the agent asks for it.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
