Supporting Nonprofit Research with AI
We are the Mike Hudson Foundation. We help nonprofits use AI to support research and solve social problems. We donate AI tools, expertise and pro bono AI services.
Our projects include Knowbot, an AI assistant that answers questions from nonprofits’ selected information with source links, and Researchify, an experimental tool that helps researchers find relevant UKRI funding opportunities.
Causes we have supported financially include bio-diversity (ZSL) &, healthcare (Alzheimer’s Society).
We also speak & write about AI for good & social markets.
We donate AI tools and pro bono AI services to nonprofits. We want to work with UK-based organisations who see us as long-term, collaborative partners.
We help partners use AI to support research and solve social problems, and provide advice on innovation and AI.
Our interests include AI for Good, climate change, biodiversity, international relations and nonprofit marketplaces.
Knowbot is a pro bono AI assistant for nonprofits’ websites.
Visitors ask questions in their own words. Knowbot answers using curated information on the organisation’s website (or elsewhere) and provides links to supporting sources. It helps visitors understand the organisation’s work and helps nonprofits identify what people need.
Partners include the British Academy, Royal Academy of Engineering, ZSL and RUSI.
