Kittredge Advisors builds free, browser-based AI platforms for people and organizations who deserve better guidance — no fees, no agenda.
See the platformsOur commitment: Every Kittredge platform is free to use, independent of commercial relationships, and built entirely in the public interest. We never charge fees, accept referral payments, or promote paid services.
Quality AI guidance should be available to everyone — not just organizations with technology budgets. Every Kittredge platform is browser-based, requires no installation, and is designed to be useful immediately by anyone who needs it.
Each Kittredge platform addresses a specific gap — where quality guidance has been hard to find or out of reach.

Kittredge Advisors was founded on a simple observation: quality guidance has always been unevenly distributed. The person navigating a disability claim, the rural patient trying to find care, the small business owner facing a legal question, the nonprofit stretching a limited budget — they all face decisions just as consequential as anyone else's, with far fewer resources to help them make those decisions well. Kittredge exists to close that gap.
Quality guidance has always been unevenly distributed — some people and organizations have access to it, others don't. Kittredge exists to close that gap.
Every platform we build is free, browser-based, and designed to be used immediately — no installation, no IT department, no budget required. Our only agenda is building tools that genuinely help.
Practical thinking on how nonprofits, caregivers, schools, and communities can use AI tools effectively — without the hype.
Most nonprofits assume AI advisory tools aren't built for them. They are. Here's a practical starting point that requires no installation and no IT staff.
The gap between what AI can do for nonprofits and what most nonprofits are actually using is enormous — and it's not a technology problem. It's an awareness and access problem. The tools exist. The question is which ones are worth your limited time.
Start with three categories: communications, program planning, and grant research. For communications, Claude and ChatGPT can draft donor updates, social posts, and board reports in minutes. For program planning, tools like Notion AI can help structure logic models and outcome frameworks. For grant research, Perplexity AI can surface relevant funders faster than manual searches.
None of these require IT support, contracts, or training budgets. They require a staff member willing to spend an afternoon experimenting. The Kittredge Nonprofit Advisor walks through exactly how to get started with each one.
There's no shortage of AI health tools being marketed to caregivers. Most aren't worth your time. Here's how to tell the difference.
Family caregivers are exhausted, time-poor, and increasingly targeted by AI products promising to help. Some of those products are genuinely useful. Most are not — they're designed for the healthy and tech-comfortable, dressed up in caregiving language.
What caregivers actually need from AI is narrow and specific: help understanding medical information in plain language, help organizing care logistics, and help knowing when to escalate to a professional. Not apps that track mood or gamify medication reminders.
The most useful AI tool for most family caregivers right now is a general-purpose assistant like Claude, used as a knowledgeable conversation partner. Ask it to explain a diagnosis in plain language. Ask it to help you prepare questions for a doctor's appointment. Ask it to help you draft a care summary for a hospital visit. The Kittredge Care Navigator is built around exactly these use cases.
Teachers are already using AI. The question isn't whether to allow it — it's whether your school has a coherent position before that becomes a problem.
Most school AI conversations focus on students: will they use it to cheat? That's a real question, but it's the wrong starting point for administrators. The more urgent question is what guidance teachers have — because teachers are already using AI to plan lessons, draft communications, and generate assessments, with or without a policy.
Before a school can have a coherent student AI policy, it needs to answer three questions for staff: what tools are permitted on school systems, what student data can be entered into AI tools, and what does academic integrity mean when AI assists the teacher, not just the student.
These aren't technology decisions — they're values decisions that happen to involve technology. The Kittredge School AI Advisor helps administrators work through each one with practical frameworks, not vendor talking points.
Whether you're exploring a platform for your organization, interested in a partnership, or want to talk through how AI advisory could help your work — reach out directly.
