Why this matters
Your last event probably felt harder than it should have.
-
Spreadsheets at the checkout desk.
Guests in line, volunteers reconciling paddle numbers by hand, half the receipts wrong by Monday.
-
Paddle confusion in the room.
"Was that 42 or 142?" Live bidding lives or dies on the clerk catching every number — and the auctioneer's pace is faster than the clerk's pen.
-
Tax receipts the week after.
A finance volunteer rebuilds CRA split-receipting math in Excel, then types each receipt by hand. Mistakes get found at audit.
How it works
From idea to the night of, in three steps.
Aucti is built around the event arc: setup, the night itself, and the receipts that go out at the end. Here's the path most foundations follow.
01 / SETUP
Describe your event
Tell aucti what you're raising for, when, and how many guests. The AI drafts a full event shell in about thirty seconds, including narrative, run of show, and recommended starting bids.
02 / CONFIGURE
Add your items, your way
Upload a CSV, type lots in directly, or use the AI catalogue builder. Set increments, reserves, and shipping rules per item. Everything stays editable until you publish.
03 / THE NIGHT
Run the room
Silent bidding on guests' phones. Auctioneer panel for live. Real-time room display behind the stage. Receipts, statements, and board reports are ready before the room clears.
Features
Built for the team running the event.
Aucti is purpose-built for one job: running a charity event from setup to checkout. AI takes the busywork. Your team makes the decisions.
Silent auction · bidder phone
Guests bid from their seat. No app to download.
A bidder taps their paddle number, browses lots, and places bids from the table. Outbid? They get a push. Closing in two minutes? They get a push.
- One-tap bid + max-bid auto-bidding
- Push notifications on outbid + closing soon
- Works for in-room and remote guests alike

Live auction · clerk panel
A clerk panel that keeps up with the room.
Auctioneer-voice phase detection drives the screen: "going once" highlights, "sold" snaps to the next lot. Your clerk just taps the winning paddle.
- One-tap paddle entry + bid increments
- Voice-aware "going once / going twice / sold"
- Room display behind the stage, in sync

Cash call · paddle raise
A live thermometer for the give-back moment.
When the MC says "raise your paddle for $500," your tablet panel logs every pledge in real time. The thermometer climbs on the room display. Receipts queue automatically.
- Custom tiers per event ($100 → $10k+)
- Anonymous-pledge option for sensitive rooms
- Auto-flows into CRA receipts, no re-entry

FAQ
Before you ask.
When does aucti launch?
We're building with early partners now. Public launch is later this year. Join the early-access list to get a demo and lock in a partnership rate before we open the doors.
Will the AI make mistakes in our catalogue?
The AI drafts. You review. Nothing publishes, sends, or bids without human sign-off. The AI is an accelerant, not an autopilot.
How does CRA receipting actually work?
We follow CRA IC75-23. The platform calculates eligible amount, advantage amount, and assigns unique receipt numbers automatically. Receipts are batch-emailed after the event with your charity BN included.
Do remote bidders actually trust an AI agent?
Every interaction is logged and reviewable. Bidders set proxy maximums and the agent can't exceed them. They get a transcript and final summary at the end of the night.
How is aucti different from other auction platforms?
Other auction platforms exist. Some of them are good. What we're betting on is that AI changes how this software should work. Most platforms were built before AI and treat it as an add-on. Aucti uses AI to take real work off your team: drafting catalogues, writing donor invitations, helping remote bidders participate. We're focused only on charity events, so the product is sharper for that one job.
