Interview-Style Grant Application Intake
Use this after the AI has confirmed its summary of the grant guidelines. It turns the AI into an interviewer that draws out your business details one question at a time, so you have strong raw material before any drafting starts.
The Prompt
Now I need you to interview me so you can draft strong answers to each application question. Ask me one question at a time. Base your questions on the grant guidelines you just read and on what grant reviewers typically score: clarity, specificity, alignment with program goals, evidence of need, and feasibility. Start with the first application question.

Cut a Grant Section to an Exact Word Count
Use this when a drafted section is significantly over the word limit. It aggressively trims length while preserving the most relevant, specific content — useful when the polish pass alone isn't enough.
Polish a Grant Section to Hit the Word Limit
Use this on each completed grant section as a final polish pass. It trims length to meet word limits without stripping out the specific numbers and details that matter most to reviewers.
Check Grant Application Alignment With Funder Goals
Use this after all grant sections have been drafted in the same chat session. It identifies weak, generic passages across the full application so you know exactly where to add business-specific detail before submitting.
Draft a Single Grant Application Section
Use this after completing the intake interview, once for each grant application question. It produces a focused draft for a single section while preventing the AI from hallucinating figures, and keeps language aligned with the funder's own terminology.
