Smart Wheel · Rotary AIDigital transformation of clubs with artificial intelligence

AI helps people, people make the decisions

Rotary AI is an innovative artificial intelligence platform for developing clubs, connecting members, attracting new members and international cooperation. It takes over routine work — reports, minutes, finding contacts — so Rotarians have more time for service.

For Rotarians

A personal intelligent workspace: projects, contacts, events and opportunities. The AI assistant suggests who to meet and where your experience is needed most.

For club presidents

Automated reporting, membership, minutes and communications — instead of spreadsheets and endless email threads.

MembershipAI matching and onboarding of new members: the AI secretary already interviews candidates, a mentor makes the decision

KnowledgeA shared knowledge base of club experience
Why now

The Rotary world is already moving towards AI

01

Districts are adopting AI

Districts in Nigeria, India and Nepal are building AI into planning, communications and membership growth. One Nigerian district signed up to an AI platform for 10 years.

02

Leaders are learning

25 leaders from 6 districts have completed the “Practical AI for Rotary Clubs” course; clubs run AI workshops for communications and planning.

03

A window of opportunity

There is no single AI platform from Rotary International yet. RCMIP can be one of the first clubs with its own solution, useful to the whole district.

People decide

AI prepares, suggests and drafts. Decisions on membership, grants and introductions are always made by a person.

Data is protected

Personal data processed under GDPR: consent, transparency and members’ control over their information.

Open to the district

We are building the platform so other clubs in District 2201 and the network can use it.

Plan for 2026–27

Prototype → testing → Barcelona

Prototype in October–December 2026, testing in D2201 clubs in January–March 2027, presentation to the Rotary world at the Barcelona Convention on 26–30 June 2027.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What already works in Rotary AI?

Online club admission: the AI secretary interviews the candidate and prepares a summary for the mentor; after approval members get a personal workspace, an AI profile and introductions within the club.

Does AI replace people in the club?

No. The platform’s principle is: AI helps people, people make the decisions.

Can another club use the platform?

Yes — testing in District 2201 clubs is planned for 2027. Write to us if your club would like to join.

Want to get involved?

Partnership, volunteering, mentoring or club membership — write to us and we will find a way to work together on any of the five directions.
