Solidare AI — Technology built on solidarity

AI advisory · Policy · Privacy · Implementation · Agents

AI that works for your organization — and answers to it.

Solidare AI helps unions and funds, nonprofits and public bodies, and growing businesses decide what AI should do, write the rules, protect the data, and build the assistants and agents that do the work. Then we stay to keep it right.

Where organizations are

Your people are already using AI. The question is whether it's on your terms.

Most organizations we meet have no written rules, no map of what data is going where, and a board that hasn't been asked. That's normal. It's also the cheapest moment to get it right.

What we do

Five things, in the order most organizations need them.

Start anywhere. Each stands on its own, and each is built to make the next one easier.

01

Advisory

Decide what AI should do here.

Where you stand, what's worth doing first, what to buy versus build, and how to explain it to a board or a room of trustees.

How it works

02

Policy & Governance

Write the rules people will actually follow.

An AI use policy, an approval path for new tools, oversight roles, and a review cadence — built on NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 structure, written in plain language.

How it works

03

Privacy & Security

Keep member, employee and client data where it belongs.

Find where sensitive data is already flowing into AI tools, review the vendors handling it, and put controls in place before it becomes an incident.

How it works

04

Implementation & Integration

Put AI to work inside the systems you already run.

Private AI in your environment, connected to your records, membership system, LMS, accounting and email — rolled out with training and measured against real hours.

How it works

05

Agentic AI

Build agents that do real work, with a person in the loop.

Scoped agents for intake, reconciliation, drafting, scheduling and answering questions from your own material — with approval gates, logs and an off switch.

How it works

How an engagement goes

Listen. Map. Decide. Build. Stay.

The same path every time, so you always know what's next and what it will cost before we start it.

01

Listen

We sit with the people who do the work and learn how it runs today, including what's already being pasted into chatbots.

02

Map

What data you hold, who touches it, what the law expects of you, and where AI would take real hours off the table.

03

Decide

Policy, priorities, private or public. Written so a non-technical board or a room of trustees can approve it in one meeting.

04

Build

Assistants, connections, agents, in your environment, with approval gates, tested against the threats that matter.

05

Stay

We monitor, tune, and update the rules as AI and the law change. You own everything we build.

Packages

Scoped, timed, and written down before we start.

Six ways to begin. Each has a fixed scope, a timeline, and a list of what you'll hold at the end.

Managed AI Partnership

We keep what's running healthy, keep the rules current as AI and the law change, and sit in as your technology voice when decisions come up.

See the partnership

Industries

Different records, different rules. One standard.

We came up through the union world. The standard we learned there — the data belongs to the people it names — applies to every organization we work with. Who we serve

Business managers, agents, office staff and executive boards.

Trade-union locals

You hold standing, hours, dispatch order, grievances and discipline for every member. AI is already in the office; the question is whether it is on the local's terms.

Where AI helps first →

Training directors, coordinators, instructors and trustees.

Training funds & JATCs

Your curriculum is years of instructor work and it is your property. The Department of Labor is bringing AI into registered apprenticeship; funders will ask for a plan.

Where AI helps first →

Administrators, trustees, plan professionals and participant-services staff.

Benefit funds & fund offices

Participant data, claims and eligibility carry fiduciary duty and, for health plans, HIPAA. A board needs a record that the questions were asked before AI touched any of it.

Where AI helps first →

Executive directors, program leads, development and communications staff.

Nonprofits & associations

Small staff, big responsibility: donor, client and program data, grant reporting that has to be right, and a board that needs to approve what it doesn't fully understand.

Where AI helps first →

Agencies, special districts, school and college administrators, elected boards.

Public bodies & districts

Resident data, public-records obligations, procurement rules and open meetings: AI in a public body has to be explainable to the public that funds it.

Where AI helps first →

Owners, estimators, project managers and office managers.

Contractors & field services

Estimates, SOPs, customer history and crew records are your edge. Your people are already using AI on them; the question is whether it is inside the law and inside your control.

Where AI helps first →

Owners and administrators of law, accounting, engineering and healthcare practices.

Professional firms & clinics

Client and patient confidentiality is the business. AI can take real hours off the table, inside a boundary you can describe to a client, a regulator or a licensing board.

Where AI helps first →

Private AI

Your own AI, in your own environment. Nothing leaves.

A model that knows your manuals, your contracts and your records, runs on hardware you own or a tenant that's only yours, logs everything it does, and never trains on your data.

Tier 1 · Local

Runs on hardware you own.

Nothing leaves. Fixed cost. Best for anything that names a person.

Tier 2 · Private tenant

A cloud account that's only yours.

Isolated; model and documents inside it.

Tier 3 · Enterprise chatbot

A vendor's tool, no-training contract.

Fine for general drafting. Data still sits with the vendor.

Engagement examples

What the work looks like, week by week.

Composite examples drawn from our work, details changed, no client named. All six examples →

Training center · AI Use Policy Sprint · 3 weeks

From "everyone’s pasting it into chatbots" to a policy people read

Instructors and office staff at a trades training center were uploading course material and apprentice information into public AI tools. Nobody had written rules, and the training director had been asked by trustees what the plan was.

What they hold now → A policy staff can recite, a record trustees can show, and a 90-day check on the calendar.

Benefit fund office · Privacy & Security Review · 4 weeks

A vendor’s participant assistant, examined before the vote

A fund office was about to sign for a participant-facing chat assistant. The demo was good. The contract said nothing about training, retention or protected health information.

What they hold now → A contract with the answers in it, a resolution in the minutes, and a standing questionnaire for the next vendor.

Solidarity principles

What we will and won't do with AI.

Your data stays yours

Nothing you share with us, or with the AI we build, trains anyone else's model.

People decide

AI drafts, sorts and flags. A person approves anything that touches a member, an employee, a patient or a dollar.

Say what it does

Every AI use is disclosed to the people it affects, in plain language.

Built to be left

You own the policies, the agents and the setup. If you ever want to walk away, you take it with you.

No sales deck

We'll tell you when the answer is “not yet” or “not this.”

What we work to

Frameworks we build on and laws we keep track of.

Aligned, not "certified." We design to these so your program holds up to a regulator, an auditor or a trustee, and so certification is reachable later if you want it.

Five ways member data leaks into public chatbots

It is rarely a hack. It is a helpful person with a deadline and a free tool. Here are the five routes we find in almost every organization, and the fix for each.

Assistants versus agents: what a director needs to know

An assistant answers. An agent acts. The difference is who is accountable for what happens next, and how much you let it do on its own.
