AI & Automation

We help mission-driven organisations move from AI curiosity to working tools that extend human capacity and amplify impact.

Every organisation is under pressure to have an AI strategy, but most don't know where to start or what's actually worth building. We help you cut through the noise - equipping leaders with the confidence to navigate AI, building responsible foundations and shipping custom solutions that solve real problems.

How we help

  • Equip your leaders to act

    Navigate AI with clarity and confidence

    We help boards and senior teams understand what AI means for their organisation, so they can make informed decisions rather than simply follow the hype.

  • Build responsible AI foundations

    Do AI properly from the start

    We work with organisations to develop the governance, ethics frameworks and practical roadmaps they need before they build, drawing on our framework for public-facing AI tools.

  • Accelerate impact through AI-enabled workflows

    Custom solutions that extend, not replace, your team

    We build AI-powered tools tailored to your mission, like Breast Cancer Now's message triage prototype that helps more people receive timely support.

  • Co-fund your AI prototype

    Reduce the risk of experimenting

    Through our AI Innovation Co-fund, we cover 50% of prototype costs up to £15,000, so you can test what's possible without betting your whole innovation budget on it.

  • Automate the work that drains your team

    Free up time for the work that matters

    We identify and automate repetitive processes, from content workflows to data pipelines, giving your people more time for the high-value work only humans can do.

  • Power discovery and search with AI

    Create connections audiences never expected

    We build AI-driven search and discovery experiences that create unexpected connections, like our AI-powered work with Tate and London Museum's conversational search.

A low-risk way to find out what AI can do for you

Through our Innovation Fund, we’ll invest in a small number of partnerships to explore how AI can open new possibilities.

We’re investing in practical innovation that helps organisations navigate complexity and deliver meaningful change. We want to explore how AI can make things faster, but also how it can support more effective ways to deliver, connect and create value for the people and communities you serve.

We’ll match-fund your prototype development up to £15,000, covering 50% of our costs. Some successful proofs of concept cost as little as £3,000–£5,000 in total.

The insights we gained provided us with a solid foundation to engage in more meaningful discussions about harnessing the power of AI and its potential contribution to Oxfam’s goals.
