Meet AuctionGPT: The AI That Knows Fundraising

At ClickBid, we’re always looking for new ways to help nonprofits make their fundraising events more successful. That’s why we’re excited to introduce ClickBid Search GPT, our new AI-powered chat assistant designed to give you quick, reliable answers whenever you need them.

ClickBid Search GPT is the first tool of its kind in our industry — built to answer your questions about ClickBid’s software as well as auctions, raffles, ticket sales, sponsorships, and more. It’s available 24/7 and designed to complement (not replace) our incredible support team.

What Is ClickBid Search?

ClickBid Search GPT is a custom version of ChatGPT that we’ve trained specifically on fundraising best practices and ClickBid software knowledge. Think of it as a fundraising assistant that:

• Instantly answers simple “what” and “where” questions (like “Where do I upload my auction items?”).
• Shares ideas and strategies for your upcoming event (like “What silent auction items do best for schools?”).
• Helps train staff and volunteers quickly after hours when real humans aren’t available.

How to Access ClickBid Search GPT

Getting started is easy:

1. Open the ChatGPT app or website.
2. On the left-hand side, click the “Explore GPTs” button.
3. Search for “ClickBid Search” and select it.
4. Start chatting with it just like you would with a human support agent.

You can also access the AuctionGPT resource on ClickBid’s website.

Coming soon: we’ll integrate ClickBid Search GPT directly into your ClickBid admin dashboard for even faster access!
