Tired of the busywork?

We're organisers building the campaign partner we always wanted

Progress AI takes the slow, manual parts of campaigning and hands them to your tools, so you spend more time with people and less time on the busywork. Built by organisers who got tired of doing it all by hand.

OUR STORY

Why Progress AI?

Progress is the plainest word we had for what we wanted to build: steady, forward motion on the work that used to stall a campaign, delivered quietly and without being asked twice. That's how our agent works. It watches your campaign quietly, speaks up when something needs attention, and acts only once you approve. "AI" reflects what sits under the hood, but the idea we care about is a calm, patient helper that never gets in your way.

Progress AI was founded by organisers who were spending too many hours on repetitive admin, data cleanup, and the early-morning clips, work that pulled them away from the actual organising. The tools were powerful but passive: they waited for every instruction and offered nothing back. We wanted a tool that could see what we were doing and take the dull, repeatable work off our plate, without ever taking control away from us. So we built one.

Our mission:

Take the repetitive campaign admin off your plate
Catch problems while you work, not after they ship
Act directly in your tools, on your approval
Keep a person accountable for every consequential step

OUR TEAM

Built by organisers, powered by technologists

We're a cross-disciplinary team with backgrounds in organising, campaigning, AI, and movement technology. What unites us: the belief that our tools should do the dull work for us, so we can get back to people.
