Need a fresh perspective on your campaign story or a catchy call to action for your latest email? Our AI text assistant is here to help! This handy tool is seamlessly integrated into select text editors across Givebutter, making it easy to access whenever you need some writing assistance. You can find the AI text assistant in the following locations:
Campaign Story section editor
Engage Email and Mailings composer
Generating text ✍
In any Givebutter text editor that supports the AI text assistant, you'll see the AI icon in the composer menu bar.
Click the AI icon to open the AI text assistant.
Enter a prompt into the text box and click the send icon to generate text. Being as specific as possible helps the system generate relevant content.
Examples of an AI text assistant prompt:
"Write an intro to promote our campaign raising funds for our local library"
"Create an end-of-year thank you email for donors who contributed more than $100 this year"
Generated text may take a moment to appear. Once ready, it will be displayed in the popup window. If you're satisfied with the response, click Insert to add it to your current text editor.
From there, you can customize it to your liking directly in the text editor.
Revising and editing ⚙️
To generate a new response based on the same prompt, click Try again. The AI text assistant will erase the original response and create a new one.
To iterate on the original response, you can enter additional prompts in the text bar. You don't need to type the whole prompt again.
Example edits:
"Make this response more concise"
"Can the tone be made more formal?"
AI shortcuts 🪄
The AI shortcuts tool can effectively summarize, improve, and translate content. It can also adapt the tone and style to suit various purposes, from professional to casual and from formal to informal.
To use AI shortcuts, highlight text to be altered and click the AI shortcut icon (magic wand) from the popup in the composer or the composer menu bar.
Choose the shortcut you'd like to use from the available options.
The edited text will appear in a new popup window, with the option to Insert into your text editor, Try Again, or Discard.

Limitations ❌
While AI generators can be a valuable tool, it's important to remember that they may occasionally make errors. Always review and edit AI-generated text before using it! Additionally, there are a few known limitations to how AI-generated text works within Givebutter.
Merge fields 🧩
If your generated text includes placeholders in brackets, these will not auto-populate with information. You must replace these with real merge fields in order to populate the relevant data.
Examples of non-functional placeholders | Examples of functional, Givebutter-supported merge fields |
[Recipient's Name] | {{contact.first_name}} |
[Your Name] | {{account.organization_address}} |
Merge fields are only supported in Engage, so if your AI-generated text includes placeholders in a campaign Story section, you won't be able to replace them with functional merge fields.
Clickable buttons 🔗
The AI text assistant may insert a donate button, or other call-to-action button as part of a generated response. While these buttons can be made functional, they do not include a link when generated.
To add a URL for the button, highlight the generated button text, and click the link icon to add a functioning link.
