The problem it solves

Checking a government website for new grant or subsidy announcements is easy to forget and easy to miss. By the time you notice a new program, deadlines may already be close.

Who it fits

Consultants, administrators, or small business owners who need to stay on top of grant and subsidy opportunities.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule to check a government grants RSS feed
  2. Uses AI to sort each item as a grant, labor-related, or other
  3. Extracts the title, summary, deadline, amount, and link for relevant grants
  4. Logs new grants in Google Sheets
  5. Emails you a daily summary of new listings
What you get

New grant opportunities surfaced daily

You get a daily email summarizing new grant opportunities, complete with deadlines and amounts, ready to review.

What you get

An updated Google Sheet of tracked grants and a daily email digest of new ones.

What you need

An OpenRouter API key, a Google Sheets account, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
