Introducing, The Infectious Generosity Guru
Distyl's collaboration with TED demonstrates Gen AI's potential for positive change
Earlier this month, we formally announced Distyl’s partnership with TED in which we are using Generative AI to support the Infectious Generosity movement. We are incredibly proud of TIGG, the product we have built to help support and expand Infectious Generosity, an effort illustrating how small acts of kindness, enabled by the internet, can create large-scale positive change.
In just a few weeks of live deployment, TIGG has already helped hundreds of people plan and execute generous actions. We have been blown away by the overwhelmingly positive feedback on TIGG’s capabilities, and we have been inspired by the influx of stories of generosity coming out of the TIGG user base.
Built by Distyl using our Distillery platform, The Infectious Generosity Guru (“TIGG”) is an AI Assistant and 'partner in kind' that integrates the insights from 'Infectious Generosity'. Using OpenAI's LLMs, and developed as part of the partnership between Distyl, Chris Anderson (the Head of TED and author of ‘Infectious Generosity’), and the rest of the team at TED, TIGG offers personalized guidance based on Chris's wisdom. From action ideation and planning, all the way through generous action execution and reflection, TIGG is there every step of the way to help people transform their generous aspirations into reality, encouraging and facilitating generous actions.
In an environment where much of the public discourse around Applied AI has been focused on AI’s potential for negative change or AI’s deprecation of human-generated work & output, TIGG is exemplary of AI’s potential for positive change and its ability to supercharge human productivity and creativity, rather than replace it. This collaboration is more than an AI tool; it's an application of AI in promoting altruism and kindness globally.
Join us at Distyl in advancing more impactful projects like this one.
