# Earn with AI (the right way)

> Use ECN's AI to find genuinely aligned businesses to bring into the network and draft honest, human-reviewed invites — quality referrals, not spam.

Once a [conversation](/ambassadors/conversations) is warm, let AI do the homework — fit
analysis and a personalized invite — while you stay the human who reviews and sends.

## The referral wizard

ECN's ambassador referral flow does the legwork before you reach out:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Point it at a business">
    Give the wizard a business name or website. It runs a fast analysis of who they are
    and what they do.
  </Step>

  <Step title="AI assesses fit + enriches">
    It enriches the profile and helps you judge whether ECN is a genuine fit — so you
    bring in businesses that will actually benefit, not random targets.
  </Step>

  <Step title="It drafts a claim invite — you review">
    It drafts a personalized invite for the owner to claim their (free) listing. **You
    review and approve before anything sends** — your name, your reputation, your call.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You send; the referral tracks to you">
    Your referral is attributed to you. If they join and grow, you earn — see
    [Getting paid](/ambassadors/getting-paid).
  </Step>
</Steps>

From a [connected AI client](/mcp/overview), this is two tools: `refer_business` and
`invite_owner_to_claim`. Example prompts:

* "Analyze greenfield-kitchens.com and tell me if they're a good fit for ECN."
* "Draft an invite for the owner of that business to claim their listing."

## Find aligned businesses to bring in

Use the directory and Jaguar to surface candidates that fit the regenerative mission:

* "Find regenerative builders near me that aren't in the Earth Care Network directory yet."
* "Which businesses in my area would benefit most from ECN, and why?"

Then run each through the referral wizard to confirm fit before you reach out.

## The guardrails (this is what "the right way" means)

* **Disclose** you're an ECN ambassador in your outreach.
* **Refer for fit, not volume** — the AI fit-check exists so you can say "this one's
  worth it." Use it.
* **Let owners claim their own listing.** You invite; they claim. No impersonation.
* **No mass-spam.** Personalized, reviewed invites convert and retain; blasts get voided.

<Note>
  Outreach drafted through the referral flow is **held for your approval** — nothing
  sends on its own. (One direct-send email tool exists; use it deliberately.) See
  [Trust & transparency](/business/trust).
