Illuminating Leadership. Empowering People of Action.
Project Archie is a community-built, open-source AI companion that helps Rotary district leaders interpret policy, navigate governance questions, and work through challenges in real time—with cited references to the specific RI documents that apply. All of the prompts, instruction code, and governing documents that power Archie are shared openly here, updated each Rotary year, and free for any Rotarian to use or adapt.
Archie is not an official RI product, but it is built entirely on publicly available Rotary International documents with safeguards designed to reinforce compliance and proper escalation. If you have used Archie and found it helpful, or built a customization that works for your district, we would love to hear about it. Feedback, use cases, and contributions from the Rotary community are what make this project better. Reach out anytime at [email protected].

What's new, September 2026: Archie now installs as a skill on Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok. Files live on GitHub at github.com/Project-Archie/rotary-archie. Current version 2025.3.2. Gemini is being tested and is not supported yet.

Archie is available at three levels. Most people should start with Tier 1.

The fastest way to try Archie is through the Archie GPT on ChatGPT. No setup required -- click the link and start asking questions. The GPT handles the most common needs: looking up RI policy, answering governance questions, and walking you through procedures. It works in a single conversation window, so each chat starts fresh. This is the recommended starting point for all Rotarians.
Tier 1: Use Archie (Custom GPT)
</aside>
Archie is now a portable skill: one file that installs on Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok and carries all seven governing documents with it. Updates come from the Project Archie GitHub page, and you can ask Archie "What version are you?" at any time. A Project with conversation memory and your own district documents is an optional layer on top.
Tier 2: Install the Archie Skill
The standard project is built on RI's global documents. Customization lets you layer in your own district's policies, standing rules, or role-specific priorities so Archie can cite both RI and local rules in the same response. This section will include ready-made code snippet ideas you can drop into a Tier 2 project -- no prompt writing from scratch. Submit any ideas you have created!
Not sure what to ask Archie? The Prompt Library is a collection of ready-to-use prompts organized by topic and role -- governance, membership, Foundation, public image, and more. Copy a prompt, paste it into any version of Archie, and get a useful answer right away. These work with the GPT, a project, or a customized instance.

Resources for anyone introducing Archie to their district or running a hands-on session. This section will include facilitator guides, workshop outreach templates, and example prompts designed for group training settings. Whether you are presenting at a district assembly or walking a small group through their first conversation with Archie, the goal is to give you everything you need to lead the session with confidence.
