Ideali includes built in AI tools that help you create polished pages for your donation campaigns, memberships and events, even if you are starting from scratch. You can use AI to write your text and to generate a custom banner image, saving you time while producing professional results.

Where You Can Use AI

The AI tools are available inside each builder, at the steps where you write text or add a banner:

  • Donation campaigns — The Add Description and Upload Banner steps of the campaign builder.
  • Memberships — The Description and Upload Banner steps when creating a membership type.
  • Events — The Description, Terms & Conditions, Banner and Thank You Email steps of the event wizard.

AI Writing Assistant

Instead of writing from scratch, let AI create a first draft for you:

  1. Open the text editor on any of the steps listed above.
  2. Start the AI assistant:
    • In the campaign builder, use the AI prompt option in the description editor.
    • In the membership and event builders, type /ai in the editor or click the /ai button in the toolbar.
  3. Type a brief summary of what you want and press Enter.
  4. Review the generated text, then edit, refine or rewrite any part of it before saving.

This is especially useful if you are unsure how to present your cause in writing, or want a strong starting point quickly.

💡 Best Practices for AI Generated Text

  • Be specific about your cause and who it helps.
  • Include key details such as the goal amount, membership benefits, or the event date and venue.
  • Include the tone you want such as urgent, hopeful, welcoming, or formal.
  • Review and personalize the generated text before saving, especially terms and conditions.

Donation campaign prompt: “We are raising funds to provide school supplies and meals for 200 underprivileged children in rural communities. The goal is $4,000 and every donation makes a direct impact.”

Membership prompt: “Annual supporter membership for our community food bank. Members receive a quarterly newsletter, priority volunteer sign-up, and an invitation to our yearly appreciation dinner.”

Event prompt: “Annual Community Gala on November 22 in the Main Ballroom. An evening of dinner, live music, and stories from the families we support. All proceeds fund our youth programs.”

Choosing a Banner

The banner step gives you three ways to add a banner image:

  • Drag & Drop — Upload your own image. Supported formats are JPG, PNG, and GIF, up to 5MB.
  • Generate Using AI — Create a custom banner by describing the image you want.
  • Stock Images — Choose from a library of high quality images, organized by category such as Community, Education, Healthcare, Environment, and Food Relief.

Whichever option you choose, the live preview on the right updates instantly so you can see how your banner looks on both mobile and desktop.

AI Banner Image Generator

  1. On the banner step, select Generate Using AI.
  2. Describe the image you want. The AI creates a custom banner based on your description.
  3. Accept the image, or try a different prompt until you get a result you are happy with.

This is a great option if you do not have a professional photo available and want something visually relevant to your cause.

For events, once your banner is added you can drag it to reposition it and use the slider to zoom. The banner is cropped to a 3:1 ratio. Click Crop & Apply to save it.
