Episode 222: The 3-Step Framework to Build Your AI Assistant
Description
If your inbox feels like a full-time job, this episode is for you. In The Million Dollar Nonprofit, Tom Kelly reveals how to train an AI version of yourself to handle emails, DMs, and FAQs — all in your tone, your style, and your personality.
Using the Model. Memory. Message. framework, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Model — Teach AI your unique communication style so replies sound authentically you.
✅ Memory — Feed it your organization’s mission, FAQs, and programs to give context to every answer.
✅ Message — Automate smartly with boundaries, letting AI handle the repetitive stuff while you focus on relationships.
Tom shares a real example of a nonprofit that trained an AI “assistant” named Amy — a digital twin who replies instantly to volunteers, donors, and press inquiries, saving the team 12 hours a week. She sounds so real, most people don’t even know she’s AI.
If you’ve ever wished you could clone yourself to stay on top of messages without burning out, this episode shows you exactly how to do it — without losing your human touch.
