What your free build includes

Not a template or a trial. A real, governed application built for your organisation by the team behind @Human.

A custom app, scoped with you

One app built around your mission: volunteers, grants, beneficiaries, programmes or community reporting.

Governance set up for you

Policies, the sensitive data register and risk scenarios, including your funders' rules as custom frameworks.

Safeguarding built in

Vulnerable groups named in every risk scenario, and concerns routed to the right person by rule.

Your people sign it off

Your trustees, data lead and safeguarding lead approve the release. Nothing goes live without them.

No lock-in

100% open source and run on infrastructure you choose. The app and its data stay yours.

Low running costs

Routine work runs as programmatic automation, so AI token costs stay minimal, and the app keeps working without AI.

Why we do it. The organisations that serve the most vulnerable people are often the last to get safe, well-governed AI. We think that's backwards.

From application to live system in five steps

Simple for you, thorough on governance.

  1. ApplyTell us about your organisation, the people you serve and the app you need.
  2. ScopeOne call to agree a single app, the data it uses, your funders' rules and where AI genuinely helps.
  3. We buildWe build it on @Human with policies, data register and risk scenarios set up from day one.
  4. You sign offYour trustees and leads review and approve. AI never approves anything.
  5. Go liveThe app runs on infrastructure you choose. It's yours to keep, change and grow.

The kind of applications we build for free

Beautiful, practical tools for staff, volunteers and the people you serve. Pick one to start with.

Volunteer Hub: example app built on @Human
Volunteers

Volunteer Hub

Rotas, safeguarding checks and hours in one place. Gaps are filled by text invite, automatically.

Safeguarding checks are tracked per role, with renewals flagged by rule.
Grants & Funders: example app built on @Human
Funding

Grants & Funders

Every grant, report deadline and funder rule, with reports drafted from your own records.

Each funder's code is a custom risk framework, checked per grant.
Community Pantry: example app built on @Human
Services

Community Pantry

Referrals, stock levels and parcels, with appeals drafted when stock runs low.

Households are shown as codes, never names.
Programme Impact: example app built on @Human
Impact

Programme Impact

Monthly returns become board-ready charts, every figure traceable to a locked return.

Children's data stays inside your own infrastructure.
Biodiversity Watch: example app built on @Human
Community

Biodiversity Watch

Citizens report threats to wildlife on a live map. Rangers verify and act.

Exact wildlife locations are hidden from the public.
Volunteer app: example app built on @Human
Mobile

Volunteer app

Volunteers see their next shift, join open ones and download certificates of their hours.

Volunteers accept the privacy notice in the app.

Example apps with illustrative data.

Built for organisations that answer to their community

Funders, trustees, regulators and the people you serve all need to trust your AI. @Human makes that trust visible.

Funder rules as frameworksAdd every funder's code side by side with GDPR and the EU Charter. Check each grant against the rules that apply to it.
Safeguarding by designVulnerable groups are named in every risk scenario. Concerns route to your safeguarding lead by rule, not by chance.
Beneficiary data protectedThe data register follows personal data into prompts and AI outputs, and field-level permissions hide what people don't need.
Tiny token billReports, reminders and routing run as tested automation. Spend your budget on people, not prompts.
Keeps working without AIIf AI is switched off or the connection drops, field visits, records and reports carry on.
Trustee-ready evidencePolicies, risks and sign-offs in one place, ready for trustees, auditors and funders.

Who can apply

The offer is for organisations whose purpose is public benefit, not profit.

You can apply if you are

  • A registered charity or charitable trust
  • A non-governmental organisation (NGO)
  • A community or social enterprise reinvesting its surplus
  • A grassroots or community group working for public benefit

What makes a strong application

  • A clear problem that one app could solve
  • People, especially vulnerable people, who would benefit
  • Personal or sensitive data that needs careful governance
  • Someone who can own the app and sign it off

Free builds are offered at Planet Crust's discretion and in limited numbers. Full terms are shared during scoping.

Your questions, answered

About the free build offer.

Is the build really free?

Yes. Planet Crust builds your first app at no build cost for eligible not-for-profits. You choose where it runs, and running costs are kept low by design.

Who owns the app?

You do. The app and its data are yours, 100% open source and run on infrastructure you choose.

Do we need technical staff?

No. We build it with you. Your team can then change it with @Human's low-code tools, or with the help of an AI assistant.

Can it handle our funders' rules?

Yes. Each funder's code can be added as a custom risk framework alongside GDPR and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

What happens if we stop using AI?

Your app keeps working. Forms, records, rules and reports run without AI; only AI features pause.
