chit at work
An AI note taker for major gift officers
Who carries it: Major-gifts officer
Major gifts close on remembered details from meeting two — the grandchild's name, the program that made the donor lean in. A donor meeting notes app captures donor meetings, board conversations, and grant calls as they happen, and returns the commitments and stewardship next steps the same evening.

When a major-gifts officer presses it
- Donor meetings
- board conversations
- grant calls
“Major-gifts officer; capture donor interests, capacity signals, and promised follow-ups.”
A context like this — typed once into the app — is how chit stops being a generic recorder and starts being yours.
Donor commitments and stewardship next steps.
Donor conversations captured per officer, resident in the organisation's own VPC.
Donor confidentiality; org VPC.
Contact reports, written in the car
Major gifts work runs on contact reports, and contact reports are the thing every development officer is behind on, because they are written hours after a lunch that contained the actual signal: the capacity hint, the program the donor kept returning to, the family situation that changes the timing. Recap in the car — who, what they care about, what they said about capacity, what you promised. The evening digest is donor commitments and stewardship next steps. Before a solicitation, search pulls up everything this donor has said across two years of visits, which is a different preparation than reading a database record somebody typed a summary into. Organisation deployments keep donor material resident in your own VPC.

Good questions
Can I capture a donor lunch without a phone on the table?
Yes. chit is a credit-card-sized recorder you hold while you talk — no phone propped between you and the donor, no bot. It records only while the button is held, so asking permission is a natural sentence, not an interruption.
How does this speed up contact reports?
That evening the $9/month membership returns a digest of the donor's interests, capacity signals, and the follow-ups you promised — your contact report drafted from what was actually said, not what you remember at 9pm.
Can I review what a donor said before the next ask?
Ask-anything search runs across every conversation you've captured — "what did she say about the scholarship fund" — and returns the moment with its timestamp.
Does it write to our donor CRM?
Not today — there is no CRM connection. chit connects to calendar and mail, so a thank-you or a follow-up arrives drafted, and everything captured stays searchable in plain language.
How is donor confidentiality handled?
Organization deployments run as branded device fleets with audio and transcripts resident in your own VPC. See hichit.com/enterprise, and ask us about compliance deployments.
Recording laws differ by state, and several require every party's consent. chit only captures while the button is held — know your state's rule before recording another person.
