Last week, NGP VAN launched Navigator, a natural-language search assistant built directly into Create a List – letting campaign staff describe who they're looking for in plain language and get to the right answer faster.
Campaign staff already know the questions they're trying to answer: Who fell behind on giving this year? Which new contacts haven't taken a next step? Whose recurring gift is about to end? Navigator makes getting to those answers faster – without requiring anyone to become a database expert.
Navigator is built directly into NGP VAN's existing tools. No new software, no new login, no new learning curve. The first capability is live now in Create a List, with more on the way.
"We're not interested in duct-taping AI into our products just to say we can... Ultimately, does it help elect more Democrats? If the answer is yes, that's where we want to invest." – Chelsea Peterson Thompson, General Manager, NGP VAN
Navigator is available now to NGP VAN users with Create a List access in NGP databases, with additional capabilities coming soon.
