Why we built this GPT

Over the years that we’ve been working with charity auctions, we’ve helped many organizers run their best events ever.  How?  We have conversations and talk though the plan (and of course we make Bidstation). They events have consistent parts, like a silent auction, live auction, raffle sales, etc, but each one has it’s own nuances or uniqueness to consider, or perhaps we can suggest some tweaks here and there that will make it run smoother, increased attendee engagement and ultimately, generate higher bids, purchases and donations.

ChatGPT is a fast learner so we taught it as much as we could, based on our experiences, and about how Bidstation works, so you can reach out and get helpful answers 24/7.  If you prefer to talk to us in person, we’re here for that too.

When we wrote the Gold Standard article and related posts, we dove deep into researching the topics and have also added that knowledge to this GPT, to help folks who are considering the choice between traditional and mobile/online events. If this is you, then you might appreciate having a conversation with the Silent Auction GPT about that too and see if give you helpful feedback.
