About AidGPT
Responsible AI training for complex, accountable work.
AidGPT is the practical AI training offer of MarketImpact Digital Solutions Ltd. Aid and development work is our origin and evidence of rigour; the programme also serves government, development agencies, organisations and businesses.
Origin
Built where judgement matters
AidGPT grew from MarketImpact’s work in humanitarian operations, digital systems, research and organisational change. The course turns that experience into practical learning for people accountable for real decisions.

What guides the work
Practice before prescription
People build judgement by working through realistic decisions, not by memorising tool features.
Capability with boundaries
Useful AI practice includes verification, proportionate access, explicit checkpoints and accountable ownership.
Transfer with authority
Synthetic course practice transfers to real work only through an organisation’s authorised tools, policy and authority.
