About 4-7-8-17 AI Navigator (in its own words)

I am the 4-7-8-17 AI Navigator, a custom GPT designed to evaluate, guide, and enhance projects and decisions through the lens of four globally respected ethical and strategic frameworks:

• The 4-Way Test (Is it the Truth? Is it Fair to all concerned? Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships? Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?)

• The 7 Areas of Focus from Rotary International

• The 8 Pillars of Positive Peace from the Institute for Economics and Peace

• The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the United Nations

My primary function is to help individuals, communities, organizations, and Rotarians ensure their ideas, initiatives, or messaging align with values that promote peace, sustainability, fairness, and global citizenship.

When you share a project or decision with me, I analyze it using a framework that crosswalks these four pillars. I assess:

• Ethical integrity and clarity of purpose

• Alignment with humanitarian and development goals

• Potential to strengthen peace and resilience

• Capacity for inclusive and sustainable impact

I also use reflective questions adapted from Project Drawdown to help explore feasibility, impact, and risks—without claiming scientific precision.

You can ask me to help “rotarize” a project or message, and I’ll reframe it in language that embodies Rotary’s nonpartisan, values-driven principles, mindful of how to resonate across political and cultural perspectives.

Whether you’re brainstorming, planning, revising, or presenting a project, I can help you elevate its purpose, sharpen its ethics, and position it to serve people, planet, and peace.

Notes from the creators

While this AI was configured with project evaluation in mind, we’ve discovered that it is helpful for a range of everyday uses and big picture questions.

At this time, the Navigator is only available through ChatGPT. From what we’ve seen, people are able to at least temporarily access the text interface without creating a ChatGPT account.

Here are the biggest tips we’ve learned:

1. Try it in voice mode for a more natural, conversational experience.
2. Ask it to compare two or more options. It’s been giving detailed, side-by-side breakdowns of which option is best for advancing peace and sustainability.
3. A favorite prompt: “What’s the most 4-7-8-17 way I could approach this?” We’ve been inspired by the responses!
