A Technical Walkthrough for the Sara Omi Foundation Community
This video was made for you — our community of allies, volunteers, donors, and collaborators. At the Sara Omi Foundation, transparency isn't just a value we write down. It's how we operate. That means showing our work — including the tools, the process, and the thinking behind what we build.
This short demo opens the door to something we do every day: using artificial intelligence to tell this community's story faster, more effectively, and with more intention.
1. The starting point — the inputs
The article didn't come out of nowhere. It was built from real material: the event invitation, a 35-page deck, a 16-minute recording of the presentation rehearsal, and a conversation about identity with María Isabel. All of it went into Claude — one of the leading AI tools — inside a project folder dedicated to the Sara Omi Foundation.
2. The prompt — the most important step
AI is only as good as the instruction it's given. The video shows the exact prompt that was used: write a 1,200-word article for Substack in Spanish, structured as a journalistic piece, about the foundation's presentation at the Diverse Film and Art Festival during Pride Week 2026 in Panama City. The focus: identity, why it matters, and how film is a tool for reclaiming the narrative.
3. From AI draft to published article
Once Claude delivered the draft, it moved to Google Docs for review and was then published on Webflow — the foundation's website platform. The video shows the real steps: copying the text, adjusting the formatting, fixing paragraph spacing, and setting the correct heading sizes (H1, H2, H5) so the article reads clearly.
4. Photos and visuals
The cover image was made from two photos taken at the event, combined in Keynote in 16:9 format. No Photoshop. Canva works too. The point: you don't need expensive tools to produce professional content.
5. How do you know the AI got it right?
Simple: you read it. And since the project folder is already loaded with the foundation's documents, presentations, and materials, the AI has context. It isn't guessing — it's working with what we've built together.
The Sara Omi Foundation operates with a startup model. We move fast, use the best tools available, and document everything. AI isn't replacing the human voice here — it's amplifying it. The story still belongs to Sara Omi, to the Emberá community, to the people who were in that room during Pride Week. AI just helps us carry that story further and faster.
This is what a modern foundation's operations look like when they're built well.
One of the real benefits of being part of the Sara Omi Foundation is what you learn along the way. Our volunteers don't just show up — they build skills. Real ones.
Working with us means hands-on experience in:
This isn't busywork. It's real experience, on a real mission, with a real team.
