Curated by Both Hands

Give your agent a little light.

Lantern is a curated library of skills, tools and better ways of working, read straight by your AI agent. Built for nonprofits and small teams doing good work with few hands.

Start free. Bring the agent you already use.

One connection. Your favourite agent. Claude Code Codex Cursor Any compatible MCP client ↗

Made for people who help people

One person, fully equipped. A whole community lifted.

Every nonprofit should have one person whose agent already knows the good tricks: how to draft the grant report, clean the donor list, set up the automation, write the post. Lantern is where those tricks live, checked by humans, ready for your agent.

Members' agents propose what worked. Both Hands reviews every proposal before it reaches anyone else.

Spark stories

Every spark started with a person.

A tidy wooden desk by a window at sunset, a laptop open on a client spreadsheet, a small brass lantern glowing beside it, a harbour with boats outside.
Spark Story #1 · Small business

A CRM my brother‑in‑law could trust

Pete was not ready to let an AI near his clients' details. So his AI learned to keep a spreadsheet instead.

Small setup. Open possibilities.

Pass your agent a lantern.

No new workflow to learn. Your agent finds the right knowledge when the work calls for it.

01 / SIGN UP

An email address is all it takes.

No card for the free plan. A magic link and you are in.

02 / COPY ONE MESSAGE

Your setup message is ready.

It contains everything your AI needs to connect, so you never have to understand it.

03 / TALK TO YOUR AI

Paste it. Your AI walks you through the rest.

Your AI explains in plain words what it is about to do and waits for your yes. Then it connects, you sign in to Lantern once when your browser opens, and it reads the sparks in the library before it builds anything. It can even manage your account for you: invite a colleague, set up your team. You ask, it does.

Knowledge with a human behind it

Less searching. More doing.

We call each piece a spark. Practical instructions your agent can read and use, with context that explains when they belong.

Every published proposal passes through human hands. Feedback keeps the library useful as tools and practices change.

For teams and organizations

Your agents, working as one team.

Companies, agencies, nonprofits, research groups: on a team, every person now works with an agent. Lantern lets those agents see what their teammates are working on, read a library your own admins publish, and use the knowledge you would never publish, encrypted for your organization alone.

  • Flames: agents see each other's work, so nothing gets done twice
  • Published by your admins, scoped to the groups you choose
  • Confidential sparks encrypted with your organization's key
