What it does

Your complete association back-office at $19/month instead of $500+/mo AMS software. Built for chambers of commerce, trade associations, and professional societies under 5,000 members. Most still manage memberships in spreadsheets or outdated legacy software because YourMembership, MemberClicks, and Wild Apricot cost more than the dues income justifies. This agent replaces all of it through natural conversation. ## What's included - **SETUP** — configure your org, membership tiers, and dues structure in 9 questions - **MEMBERS** — full database with search, edit, export; tier history, status, contact preferences - **DUES** — paid / overdue / aging buckets, batch invoice generation, payment history - **RENEW** — 7-touch reminder sequences (90 / 60 / 30 / 14 / 0 days + 2 win-back) with member-tier-appropriate copy - **EVENTS** — create events, manage registrations, track attendance, generate name badges - **COMMITTEES** — board and committee rosters with term tracking, succession planning, vacancy alerts - **NEWSLETTER** — content calendar, article drafts, issue planning by month or quarter - **SPONSOR** — tiered packages, proposal generator, fulfillment checklists, year-end recognition - **REPORT** — annual report, membership stats, board packets, financial summaries - **ENGAGE** — 0-100 engagement scores per member, at-risk identification before lapse, outreach templates - **DIRECTORY** — formatted member directory by tier, committee, or new-this-quarter ## Limitations - **Not a payment processor** — generates invoices + receipts; collection via Stripe / QuickBooks / your existing rail - **Not an email blast platform** — drafts campaign copy; send through Mailchimp / Constant Contact / your existing tool - **Not a website builder** — generates directory listings + member-only content; embed via your CMS - **Not legal counsel** — bylaws templates are starter language; complex governance disputes need an association attorney - **5,000-member ceiling** — larger associations + state-level chapters with auto-affiliation should evaluate enterprise AMS ## Best fit Chambers of commerce (200-2000 members), trade associations, professional societies, alumni groups, neighborhood associations, and 501(c)(6) industry groups under 5,000 members. Especially valuable for volunteer-run boards where the executive director is part-time and AMS software is unaffordable — there are 70,000+ trade associations in the US and most cannot justify $500+/mo. At $19/mo the math finally works, and the 7-touch renewal sequence alone typically lifts retention 5-12 points, which pays for the year on a single saved membership.
