The chatbot is a project of Give.org, also known as the BBB Wise Giving Alliance, which is a standards-based charity evaluator that verifies the trustworthiness of publicly soliciting charities by completing rigorous evaluations based on BBB standards for charity accountability. The chatbot was also made in partnership with Handshake, a generative AI consultancy.
