The AI channel

# Talk to ELC's AI, or plug ELC _into yours_ .

Either way you end up with the same thing: a membership package priced from the published catalog, a month-by-month year, and an itemized offer in your inbox, 16% under the list total because you built it through the AI channel. The whole flow runs under 16 minutes, and every inquiry built through the AI channel gets the discount until 30 September 2026.

## Then ask it things like

-   “Should my company partner with ELC? We cannot reach senior engineers.”
-   “We have 15K for developing our engineering managers. What does that buy?”
-   “What happens month by month if we sign in October?”
-   “Can we be the only vendor in our category?”

## Questions people ask

What is the ELC Membership Builder?

An AI wizard that builds a tailored ELC membership: it qualifies your goal and budget, matches a package from the published catalog, customizes it line by line, lays out the 12-month journey, and sends the itemized offer. Inquiries sent through the AI channel get 16% off the composed total.

How do I connect the ELC MCP server to my AI assistant?

Add https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp/partnership as a custom connector in Claude, ChatGPT developer mode, or Cursor. Streamable HTTP, no auth, no signup. No MCP-capable tool? The same builder runs as a chat at engineeringleaders.io/partner/chat/.

Is the AI-channel discount real?

Yes. 16% off the composed package total, applied automatically when the inquiry is sent through the chat or the MCP server. One exception: Pilot Meetup keeps its 100% go-bigger credit instead, the two do not stack. The web configurator carries no discount.

Every price the builder quotes comes from the [published catalog](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/partner/offer-catalog.json), the same file the [configurator](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/partner/membership/) renders, so the AI cannot tell you a different number than the website. Terms are confirmed by Marian on a call. ELC takes max 10 partners per year.
