AI drafting

AI help with each section, with you in charge

Get a structured first draft of each application section from your profile, your answers and the opportunity details. You review, edit and approve every word before you submit.

Independent platform. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency. Data from public federal sources.

You review and are responsible for every submission. AI drafts can contain mistakes or statements that do not apply to your organization. Read each section carefully, check every fact, and make sure the final application meets the requirements in the official notice.

Where AI drafting helps

The hardest part of a grant application is often the blank page. Most federal applications ask for the same kinds of sections: an abstract, the problem you address, what is new about your approach, how you will do the work, who will do it, the timeline and the budget justification. GovGrantsUSA sets these up for you in each application and helps you write a first version of each one.

How a draft is produced

  1. Context from your profile. Your mission, organization type, focus areas, size, past grants and key personnel are included, along with details extracted from documents you upload, so the draft describes your organization and not a generic one.
  2. Context from the opportunity. The agency, synopsis and award details shape the draft, and the writing is tuned to the review priorities typical for that agency.
  3. Your own answers. Each section can include guided questions. Whatever you write there is treated as the main source of facts, and the AI turns it into clear grant prose.
  4. Placeholders instead of guesses. When information is missing, the AI adds a short [APPLICANT: ...] question with an example of the answer it needs, limited to a few per section.

Drafting runs in the background. The section shows when a draft is queued, being written, complete or failed, so you never have to guess. If a request fails, you see the reason and the draft does not count against your monthly limit.

Improve and revise

Once a section has text, you can ask the AI to improve it or revise it with specific instructions, such as shortening it to fit a word limit or making the significance clearer. Word counts and section limits are shown as you edit, and you can always change the text by hand.

What the AI will not do

  • It will not submit anything. You submit through the agency's official portal.
  • It will not verify facts for you. Numbers, names, results and commitments must come from you.
  • It will not guarantee a score or an award. Reviewers judge applications against the criteria in the notice.

Plan limits

Each plan includes a monthly number of AI drafts, counted across all of your applications. The Free plan includes a few drafts for the abstract, significance and innovation sections. Paid plans can draft every section, and you can buy extra drafts if you need them in a busy month. Current numbers are on the pricing page.

Treat every draft as a starting point, and confirm all requirements in the official notice before you apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

You are. The AI produces a draft for you to review, correct and approve. You are responsible for the accuracy of every statement in your application and for submitting it through the official portal.

Drafts are written by Anthropic's Claude model, called from our servers. Requests run in the background, and the section shows its status while the draft is being written.

When the AI needs a fact only you can supply, such as a specific result or a staff name, it inserts a short [APPLICANT: ...] question instead of guessing. You answer those before the section is complete.

No. A draft only counts toward your monthly limit when it completes. If the AI request fails, the section shows the error and no draft is used.

The Free plan includes a small number of drafts for the Project Abstract, Problem or Significance, and Innovation sections, so you can judge the quality before upgrading. Paid plans can draft every section.

When you ask for a draft, an improvement, a revision or an opportunity summary, and when a document you upload is analyzed so its details can be used in drafts. See our privacy policy for how data is handled.
