Novi AMS has AI built in through Amplify, an AI layer designed specifically for trade associations and professional societies. It was shaped by Certified Association Executives (CAEs) and refined with more than 100 beta users, so it understands association concepts such as member types, dues and renewal cycles. Amplify has four pillars: Predict (Member Health), Ask (Novi Navigator), Connect (Novi Connect) and Act (Novi Actions), which is coming soon.

Engagement scoring assigns points to activities staff assume matter, so it's really a guess put into a formula. A more reliable approach is a predictive model that learns which signals actually come before renewals and non-renewals. Novi AMS does this with Member Health, the Predict pillar of Amplify. Member Health analyzes dozens of membership and engagement signals and places each member in one of three groups: On Track, At Risk or New Member. The model draws on insights from more than 1.4 million association members combined with each association's own data, so staff can focus retention outreach where it will matter most. Before showing predictions, Novi checks that an association has enough membership history to make them reliable, and historically Novi has been able to make predictions for more than 80% of its customers. Member Health stays off until Novi has confidence in an association's predictions.

AI assistants built into an AMS let staff ask questions in plain English instead of building custom reports. Novi AMS does this with Novi Navigator, the Ask pillar of Amplify. Navigator answers from live Novi data, so results reflect current records instead of an old export. Staff use it to summarize a member's history, compare event registrations year over year, find past sponsors who have not registered for an upcoming event and draft follow-up emails, often in minutes instead of a day of building reports.

Novi AMS connects association data to AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT through Novi Connect, which uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Novi Connect stays off until an association administrator enables it, and each user signs in with their normal Novi login, including multi-factor authentication when enabled, and approves access. Its tools are read-only, it sends only the data needed to answer each question, and removing a staff member's Novi admin access ends their connection. Novi recommends using a paid AI account with model training turned off.

Amplify is included with Novi AMS at no extra cost, with no separate contract. Each association receives $10 in complimentary AI credits every month, and unused credits do not roll over to the next month. Most questions cost only a few cents. Additional usage can be purchased, and administrators can track credit use in their Amplify settings. Administrators can also set a monthly spending alert and choose whether funds refill automatically, so AI costs stay predictable.
