• Intelligent, guided referrals that connect people directly to the right organization, expert, or resource, with context carried forward and frictionless handoffs supported
• Actionable insights that help leaders see emerging needs, collaboration patterns, and opportunities to improve service delivery

These guides amplify nonprofit staff capacity, promote smarter collaboration, and generate insights that help organizations serve the community more effectively. "It is an honor to launch this purpose-built network for the human services sector," says Adam Paulisick, CEO of skilly. "This ecosystem proves what’s possible when technology listens, connects, and empowers, rather than simply informs."

A New Era of Access and Impact

Community members can now visit MorePowerTogether.org to experience AI Guides across a growing collective of hundreds of regional organizations and interact the same way they would text a friend.

Whether someone is seeking housing stability, workforce resources, mental health support, food access, crisis intervention, or volunteer opportunities, More Power Together helps them find the right support at the moment they need it most.

The network is designed to serve not only those seeking help, but also those providing it.

• Executive Directors can quickly identify trusted partner organizations and referral pathways
• Volunteers, donors, and job seekers can discover where their time, skills, and resources will have the greatest impact
• Funders and foundations gain real-time visibility into regional needs, collaboration patterns, and outcomes
