Real-world scenarios

How teams use it in the real world

Coordinating signature gathering across multiple routes

A county-wide marijuana legalization initiative needs 10,000 valid signatures. Using Attain OS Routes, the campaign manager assigns each volunteer a specific territory. Volunteers log daily progress via the Shopping List (customized as a checklist of required signatures per location). The Dashboard shows real-time totals without any third-party sync.

Managing volunteer teams and voter education content

A school funding referendum depends on neighborhood canvassers. The campaign uses Attain OS People to track volunteer availability and Tasks to assign door-knocking shifts. Meanwhile, Atty drafts a one-page explainer of the funding formula from the project brief—saving the comms lead from starting from scratch.

Tracking petition form submissions and follow-ups

A citizens' group is pushing a term limits amendment. Every completed petition form is scanned via Attain OS Doc Analysis (OCR) and stored in Documents. The team uses Customer Care to follow up with supporters who had incomplete forms, all within the same system—no need to export data.

With Atty

How Atty gets you to a near-finished draft faster

  1. 1
    Set up your ballot initiative project

    Create a new project in Attain OS and fill in the project brief: initiative name, key dates, target voters, and core arguments. Atty uses this context to understand your campaign's voice and priorities.

  2. 2
    Ask Atty to draft a voter education piece

    In Atty Chat, type something like 'Draft a one-page flyer explaining the ballot measure in simple terms.' Atty pulls from your project context—including saved Notes on talking points and Documents with legal summaries—to produce a first draft.

  3. 3
    Review and refine the draft

    Open the draft in Documents. Edit directly, add your own images or formatting, and use Atty again for specific tweaks ('Shorten the second paragraph to three bullet points'). No export needed—everything stays in Attain OS.

  4. 4
    Publish and distribute

    Once finalized, share the document with your team via Sharing Hub. Volunteers can access it on their own Attain OS accounts or via a generated link. No integration with a third-party email tool required—use the built-in Emails app to send a broadcast.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can Atty generate content for multiple languages?

Atty drafts text based on your project context, which can include notes in any language. However, Attain OS does not perform machine translation. You can write your brief in a target language, and Atty will produce output consistent with that language.

How do I track which volunteers have submitted their signature sheets?

Use the Tasks app to assign a 'Submit Signatures' task per volunteer. Volunteers mark the task complete, and you can review the attached document (scanned via Doc Analysis) in the task details. The Dashboard shows completion percentages across all tasks.

Does Attain OS connect to state election databases?

No. Attain OS does not integrate with or import from any third-party system. You would manually enter or upload voter data using the Forms or People apps. The system is designed to replace external tools, not connect to them.

Can I set up a public-facing petition form?

The Forms app lets you create internal forms for collecting data from your team or supporters. For public-facing collection, you would share a link generated by Attain OS (via Sharing Hub). However, forms are not embedded on external websites—supporters fill them out in Attain OS.
