AI agent for grant writers
Grant Deadline and Requirements Agent
Submit complete, compliant grant applications and reports on time
What it does
Grants come with different deadlines, page limits, budgets and attachments, and one missed requirement can disqualify months of work. This agent reads each funder's guidelines, lists every requirement as a checklist item, and builds a task plan backward from the deadline. It warns when any task falls more than three days behind. It drafts narrative sections from approved boilerplate and program data. Before submission it checks the package against every item: word counts, budget totals matching narrative figures exactly, required attachments and eligibility. Failed items go back for revision with a clear note, and the package is checked again. If the funder changes its guidelines mid-cycle, it rechecks the whole list. The fundraiser and program lead approve the final package. Edge case: a guideline change triggers a full recheck of the requirement list.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
