Before adopting Copilot, The Salvation Army struggled with scattered data and overwhelming administrative tasks. Staff often found it difficult to locate necessary documents and were bogged down by back-end work, which hindered their ability to respond quickly to community needs. This information overload created stress and complexity in their operations.
How is The Salvation Army planning to use AI in the future?
The Salvation Army is looking into various AI applications, such as developing a volunteer chatbot for frequently asked questions and an AI that scans case notes to identify high-risk situations. They aim to create tools that align with their mission of compassion and usefulness, ultimately helping staff focus more on direct community engagement.
