Job Description:
We're building an AI-powered fundraising practice platform where nonprofit fundraisers simulate donor conversations to sharpen their skills. The AI "donors" they practice with need to sound and behave like real people — right now, they don't, and we need your help to fix that.
The Project:
We have 6-8 donor avatar personas that fundraisers practice conversations with. Your job is to take each persona and craft the prompts, tone guidelines, and behavioral frameworks that make them feel like distinct, believable humans — not a chatbot.
What You'll Be Doing:
Reviewing our existing donor avatar scenarios
Using ChatGPT's voice/chat feature to iterate on prompts in real time
Developing distinct personalities, speech patterns, and behavioral rules for each avatar (e.g., how often they ask questions, when they push back, how they show interest or skepticism)
Creating a reusable prompt framework we can apply to future avatars
Testing each persona against a success rubric we'll provide
What "Good" Looks Like
The donor doesn't ask too many questions in a row
Responses feel natural, not scripted
Each avatar has a distinct personality (not all the same "generic donor")
Conversations have realistic pacing and emotional range
A fundraiser would feel like they're talking to a real person
Requirements
Native English speaker based in the United States
Strong intuition for natural dialogue and human conversation
Experience with prompt engineering or AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)
Ability to work iteratively and test/refine based on a framework
Strong written communication skills
Project Scope
Fixed price: $500
Deliverable: 5–6 fully optimized donor avatar persona prompts + a reusable framework document
Timeline: ~1 week
