Honeymoon Israel · AI plan · August 2026
We heard three things.
“I don’t think I have clarity of what the possibilities are… and what it costs and what the tradeoffs are.”Avi, our first conversation
“Adoption is the real constraint, not the tech.”Greg, workflow map, Aug 11
“There’s no AI owner yet. Whoever we assign will matter as much as the tooling.”Greg, workflow map, Aug 11
The map we propose
Six workflows, one picture.
At the end of the chain: one dashboard, with per-user permissions, runs most of this map - scoring, document status, funder reports, and page numbers.
| # | Workflow | Owner | Why this order |
| 1 | Application review & scoring | Trip operations | Start here the why: next slides |
| 2 | Applicant emails & document tracking | Trip operations | same team, the win compounds |
| 3 | info@ responses | info@ staff | daily, visible to the whole org |
| 4 | Grant reporting (37 funders) | Development | a second team joins |
| 5 | Recruitment marketing part of this needs no AI at all · we’ll show you where ! | Laura & Jen | later in the chain |
| 6 | Personalized applicant pages | Marketing | later in the chain |

Where it stands today
The tools are in the building.
The work is still manual.
19Claude seats across the org
7staff through a 7-week training
3using it day to day, in practice
The approach
“Here are the tools. Build yourself an agent.”
We build the agent around the person. Nobody has to become a builder.
Step 1
Application review & scoring
Workflow 1 · Application review & scoringThe first move
Start where you already pointed.
Highest value
- Every application read by hand today
- 15 trips recruiting now, 25 more planned
Cleanest to define
- Clear inputs: applications in Salesforce
- One catch: the criteria live in people’s heads, written nowhere. We fix that first
Most visible win
- “Staff need to see one of these work” - as you put it
- A ranked shortlist beats a stack of raw applications
Workflow 1 · Application review & scoringA working prototype already exists !
How it will run, on your systems.
In place today1 · Couples applyThey fill in the form online. The answers land in Salesforce by themselves. Already true today.
→
In place today2 · Salesforce keeps the cardOne card per couple. Always the true version. The dashboard reads from it - the data never moves.
→
Agent3 · The agent reads and scoresReads every new application. Scores it by the rules your team wrote, with a short reason.
→
Automation4 · Saves it on the same cardThe score, the group and the reason are saved on the same card. No manual work needed.
→
Automation5 · One dashboardConnected to Salesforce. Shows the ranked list, flags and numbers - the views you chose.
→
Your team6 · Your team decidesClear yes and no come sorted. Unclear ones are marked for people. Inviting stays a human decision.
HMI your part · US ours · both badges = together
Workflow 1 · Application review & scoringThe four-week plan
How we build it, week by week.
The full schedule - a part that finishes early rolls straight into the next link.
Week 1HMIUS
Rubric, wire & build
One working session - an hour or two of your team’s time - turns the rubric into a written, agreed document. The session opens as an interview with whoever runs this today: how it really works, where it breaks. We connect read-only to Salesforce and Form Assembly, and start building the scoring engine the same week.
Week 2HMIUS
Score & compare
Based on your past decisions, the agent scores this season’s applications. Your team compares its ranking to their own, side by side. We also test it on past seasons you already decided.
Week 3HMIUS
Tune, trust & fix
A week of testing. We fix what the team asks for: rubric calls the agent got wrong, and anything in the tool or dashboard that doesn’t work the way you need.
Week 4HMIUS
Live, with write-back
Scores and rationale flow into Salesforce automatically. Weekly check-in continues. Documentation handed over.
HMI your part · US ours · both badges = together
Workflows 1-4 on the mapWhat this buys back
Your time, back. In numbers.
info@ responses !
“eats hours of staff time a day” - as you put it
25-45hours back, monthly
75-135hours back, quarterly
300-540hours back, yearly
Application reviewevery application read by hand, 15 trips recruiting. applications/month × 10-20 min × 60-80% saved - we fill the volume together in the rubric session
Document tracking“heavy, repetitive work,” per couple per trip. standard follow-ups run themselves; volume confirmed in the same session
Grant reporting37 funders, and an open grant-writer position. the anchor is the role you already budgeted and haven’t filled
Step 2
Applicant emails & document tracking
Workflow 2 · Emails & documentsWhy this link
The paperwork chase.
Today, as you put it
- Staff chase passports, payments and documents, for every couple and trip
- The load spikes when several trips onboard at once
Why this spot in the chain
- Same team as the pilot - the win compounds
- Runs on the fields and access the pilot already wired
The win
- The completion dashboard you already asked for
- It joins the scoring dashboard as a tab
Workflow 2 · Emails & documentsThe architecture
How onboarding will run.
In place today1 · Couple registersRegistration confirmed, onboarding starts in Salesforce. Already true today.
→
Automation2 · One status tabA dashboard tab shows what each couple finished and what is missing. It joins the scoring dashboard.
→
Automation3 · Reminders send themselvesWhen an item is missing or a deadline nears, the reminder goes out. A stalled couple is raised to staff.
→
Your team4 · Staff handle exceptionsPeople step in only where judgment is needed. The routine chase is over.
→
Automation5 · Back on trackOnce the person steps in, the status updates on the dashboard and the couple returns to automatic tracking.
Workflow 2 · Emails & documentsThe build plan
Same playbook, five weeks.
Week 1HMIUS
Checklist, wire & build
One session with the team: which items - passports, payment plans, the rest - which deadlines, and what a reminder sounds like. The session opens as an interview with whoever runs this today: how it really works, where it breaks. The tab connects read-only, and the build of the tracking tab and reminder engine starts the same week.
Week 2HMIUS
Compare
Reminder drafts run next to what staff actually send.
Weeks 3-4HMIUS
Tune & fix
Two weeks of testing. We fix what the team asks for, in the reminders and in the tab.
Week 5HMIUS
Live
Reminders send, with the approval settings you chose.
Workflow 2 · Emails & documentsWhat it buys back
The payback, measured.
Applicant emails & document tracking !
“Heavy, repetitive work,” per couple, per trip - as you put it.
The scale is already on the table: 15 trips recruiting now, 25 more planned - as you put it. The formula: couples per trip × missing items × minutes per chase; we fill the volumes together in the definition session, and the dashboard then measures the saving for real.
Workflow 3 · info@Why this link
The inbox that eats hours.
Today, as you put it
- “Eats hours of staff time a day”
- The same questions come up constantly
Why this spot in the chain
- Daily and visible to the whole org
- A win everyone feels, every single day
The win
- Hours back and consistent answers
- From your own knowledge, not a stranger’s script
Workflow 3 · info@The architecture
How info@ will run.
In place today1 · A question arrivesSame inbox, same address. Nothing changes for the couple.
→
Automation2 · The base holds your answersA question-and-answer base, built from replies you already wrote.
→
Agent3 · A draft appearsThe agent drafts a reply from the base, in your tone.
→
Your team4 · A person approvesNothing sends without approval. Routine answers earn lighter review over time.
Workflow 3 · info@The build plan
Same playbook, faster: four weeks.
Week 1HMIUS
Interview & mine past emails
A sit-down with whoever answers info@ today: how it really works, what repeats, where it breaks. Then we build the base from the questions you already answered.
Week 1HMIUS
Read-only drafts
Drafts are written but nothing sends.
Week 1HMIUS
Compare
Drafts run next to real replies staff wrote.
Weeks 2-3HMIUS
Tune & fix
Two weeks of testing. We fix tone, accuracy, and anything staff flag.
Week 4HMIUS
Live, with approval
Every reply still passes a person before it sends.
Workflow 3 · info@What it buys back
The payback, measured.
info@ responses
“eats hours of staff time a day” - as you put it
25-45hours back, monthly
75-135hours back, quarterly
300-540hours back, yearly
Named in the meeting: “she spends a few hours a day doing it.” Our marked assumption stays conservative: 2-3 hours a day, and a 50-70% cut in drafting time. The pilot’s baseline replaces this with your measured numbers.
Step 4
Grant writing and reporting
Workflow 4 · Grant reportingWhy this link
37 funders, one engine.
Today, as you put it
- 37 funders, each expecting its own format and depth
- A large, recurring writing load, all by hand
Why this spot in the chain
- A second team joins after operations wins
- The visible pilot is what earns this trust
The win
- The role you budgeted and haven’t filled, largely covered
- Drafts from your own data and past narratives
Workflow 4 · Grant reportingThe architecture
How grant reporting will run.
In place today1 · The data is already yoursProgram outcomes and surveys of roughly 7,000 alumni, in your systems.
→
Agent2 · A draft per funderThe agent drafts each report in that funder’s format and depth.
→
Agent3 · Proposals from your libraryAssembled from your own boilerplate and past narratives.
→
Your team4 · A person approves every reportYour rule, built in: nothing reaches a funder unreviewed.
→
Automation5 · The reports log !A dashboard tab lists every report: funder, name, date, and a status mark - drafted, in review, approved, sent. The whole year at a glance.
Workflow 4 · Grant reportingThe build plan
Same playbook, four weeks.
Week 1HMIUS
Formats on paper
A session with the development director: funders, formats, depths - and how reporting really runs today, where it breaks.
Week 2HMIUS
Wire, read-only
The agent reads program and survey data. Nothing is drafted for sending.
Week 3HMIUS
Real report, tune & fix
A draft runs next to a report you actually sent, side by side - and the same week formats are sharpened funder by funder.
Week 4HMIUS
Live cadence
Drafts flow on the reporting calendar. A person approves each one.
Workflow 4 · Grant reportingWhat it buys back
The payback, measured.
Grant writing and reporting !
The anchor is the grant-writer role you already budgeted and haven’t filled.
37 funders, recurring formats. The formula: reports per period × hours per report × the share drafting takes; give us these in the definition session, and the reports log then measures the saving for real.
Step 5
Recruitment and marketing
Workflow 5 · Recruitment marketingWhy this link
Marketing, with honest wiring.
Today, as you put it
- Campaigns built by hand for each city
- Referral tracking is leaky; warm-lead lists cross-referenced manually
Why this spot in the chain
- Later in the chain, by design
- It leans on clean applicant data from steps 1-2 (slides 7 and 12)
The win
- The warm-lead list builds itself
- Referral tracking gets a full fix: a form field, the code wire, and AI only for past name lists
Workflow 5 · Recruitment marketingThe architecture
How recruitment marketing will run.
Automation1 · “Who referred you?” on the form !A simple choice field on the application. The list is local: each couple sees the rabbis and partners of their own city and community. On the custom pages the list arrives pre-filtered. Even word-of-mouth gets counted.
→
No AI2 · Codes stamp the cardA code that was used is written to the couple’s card automatically. A wire, not an AI build.
→
Agent3 · Past names, matchedName lists partners already sent are matched to applicants, spelling variants included. Borderline matches go to a person.
→
Agent4 · The pipeline is scoredEmail engagement, fit and referral signals become a warm-lead call list.
→
Agent5 · Drafts per cityCampaign and outreach versions drafted for each city and audience.
→
Your team6 · Laura & Jen approveStrategy and sign-off stay exactly where they are today.
Workflow 5 · Recruitment marketingThe build plan
Same playbook, five weeks.
Week 1HMIUS
Signals, wire & build
One session sets the warm-lead signals, the referral field with the partner list, and the city templates. The session opens as an interview with whoever runs this today: how it really works, where it breaks. The agent scores read-only, the code wire connects, and the build of the lead engine starts the same week. No outreach happens.
Week 2HMIUS
Compare lists
The agent’s call list next to the one staff built by hand. Past name lists matched as a test.
Weeks 3-4HMIUS
Tune & fix
Two weeks of testing, on signals, drafts and matching.
Week 5HMIUS
Live
Lists, drafts and attribution flow. Approval stays with Laura and Jen.
Workflow 5 · Recruitment marketingWhat it buys back
The payback, measured.
Recruitment and marketing
Referral tracking is leaky and lists are cross-referenced by hand - as you put it.
Recovered referrals and hours are measured from the first campaign cycle. The attribution gap closes at the source: the form field counts what the codes miss.
Step 6
Personalized applicant pages
Workflow 6 · Personalized pagesWhy this link
A page that knows the couple.
Today, as you put it
- Every couple lands on the same generic page
- Drop-off after the homepage is high
Why this spot in the chain
- Last in the chain, by design
- It uses the clean data and trust the other links build
The win
- A page that feels made for them
- Name, city and trip, already filled in
Workflow 6 · Personalized pagesThe architecture
How personalized pages will run.
In place today1 · A link goes outSame campaigns, same links you send today.
→
Automation2 · The page builds itself !Name, city and trip pulled from Salesforce. It feels made for them.
→
Agent3 · The message adaptsCopy tuned to where the couple is - safety questions answered up front when needed.
→
Your team4 · Brand sign-offDesign and brand stay with your marketing team.
→
Automation5 · The numbers tabA dashboard tab shows how the pages perform: visits, clicks, and application starts, per city and campaign. Same dashboard, one more tab.
Workflow 6 · Personalized pagesThe build plan
Same playbook, five weeks.
Week 1HMIUS
Template & brand session
One session with marketing: the template, the tone, the rules - and how pages are built and measured today.
Week 2HMIUS
Sample pages, offline
Real couples, sample pages. Nothing is public. This is the build of the page engine itself.
Weeks 3-4HMIUS
Compare, test & tune
Sample pages next to the generic page, on one segment - plus fixes on copy, design and data pulls.
Week 5HMIUS
Live for one city
One cohort goes first. The measured click-to-application rate decides the rollout.
Workflow 6 · Personalized pagesWhat it buys back
The payback, measured.
Personalized applicant pages
Drop-off after the homepage is high - as you put it.
The baseline is the click-to-application rate, before and after, on one city cohort first - measured live in the pages tab of your dashboard.
Workflow 5 · Recruitment marketingThe question you asked us to take home
The social-crawling question, answered. !
What’s workable
- Reaching new couples through the platforms’ official ad tools: interests, life stage, geography
- Lookalike audiences: Meta finds people similar to couples you already served - their tools, your list, no scraping !
What we’d avoid
- Scraping individuals’ profiles to build target lists
- Anything that couldn’t be explained to a couple face-to-face
The better path
- Avi’s instinct was right: influencer & partner channels first
- Full written brief follows this meeting
Beyond the map
Our initiatives
Beyond the mapOn our initiative
And four things you didn’t ask for.
1 · Referral tracking, solved at the source
- A who-referred-you field on the form - a local list per city - plus codes wired to applications through tools you run today !
- We’ll say it plainly: most of this needs no AI. AI only matches past name lists
2 · Measurement from day one
- Every workflow ships with a before-and-after baseline
- So from quarter two, decisions run on your numbers, not estimates
3 · The rubric as an asset
- The written criteria document is yours regardless of any tool
- Onboarding, consistency between reviewers, institutional memory
4 · Reaching the newly married - researched
- Registry presence: The Knot and Zola are open to nonprofits - no Jewish org is there yet !
- Plus an ambassador engine from your 3,370 alumni couples. The full ranked list arrives with the written proposal
The pilotBeing straight about it
What this takes, from both sides.
From your team HMI
- One rubric session with the team that knows the process end to end
- An owner on your side, a few hours a week during the pilot
- Review of flagged borderline cases
From us US
- Build, wire to Salesforce, tune against real applications
- Weekly check-in during the pilot
- Documentation your team can run without us
The tradeoffs
- Narrow on purpose: one workflow, done visibly well
- The rubric must be agreed before anything is automated
- Pricing follows in writing right after this meeting
HMI your part · US ours · both badges = together
The pilotPricing · how it's built
Priced per part. Fixed. No open meter.
1 · Rubric & setup
- The working session, the written rubric, agreed edge-case rules
- Standalone value: you keep it even if we stop here
2 · Build & connect
- The scoring agent and your dashboard, wired to Salesforce and Form Assembly
- Read-only until you approve write-back
3 · Run, tune & hand over
- Five weeks on real applications, weekly check-ins
- Documentation your team runs without us
The method: every link is a fixed price, sized against the time it buys back, not against hours we spend. One written quote covers the whole chain, within 48 hours of this meeting - you decide once, and we go straight to build. Each link still goes live only after the one before it proves itself.
The pilotTo leave this call ready
Three things from you,
and we start.
1An owner HMI
One person on the HMI side who carries AI. You said it yourselves: whoever you assign matters as much as the tooling.
2Access HMI
Salesforce and Form Assembly, scoped to the pilot. Read first, write-back when you approve it.
3One rubric session HMIUS
With the team that knows the process end to end - so the criteria finally live on paper, not in heads.
