Short answer

How do I create a new grant application with my AI?

Tell your agent which grant you're interested in. It will check the available categories and then build the application record for you. You'll get a live application ready for your final review.

The outcomes

Where your data lands.

The AI handles the data entry so you don't have to navigate the portal manually.

VALIDATION

Correct categories

The AI checks your request against the actual grant types in Good Grants. This ensures you don't try to apply for a category that doesn't exist.

CREATION

New application records

Your agent builds the application directly in the system. You'll have a new record waiting for you in the Good Grants portal.

REVIEW

Human oversight

The AI stops after the record is created. You'll need to log in to the web interface to check the details and submit the final version.

MANAGEMENT

Live data access

Once the AI finishes, the application is fully active. You can manage, edit, or track it through the standard Good Grants dashboard.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent manages the connection between your chat and the Good Grants database.
