AI-alongside grant authoring

Win more grants — in your own voice.

Write Alongside rides alongside you as you draft: decoding the RFP, catching your gaps, flagging where you drift from the funder’s rubric — with a coach that already knows your RFP one click away. The AI proposes — you decide. You stay the author.

Start freeSee how it works

No credit card. Draft a real section in your first session.

  • Compliance-safe authorship
  • Rubric-aware as you write
  • Never trains on your data
  • NIH · NSF · NEH · Horizon ready

Watch the AI catch what you’d miss — while you stay in the driver’s seat.

A recording of the real editor: as you draft, the AI raises notes — a missing required element, an unsourced claim, a vague phrase — without inventing numbers or rewriting your draft. Open a note to read its explanation and suggested fix, then talk it through with your coach. You decide what enters your proposal.

How you win

Step 01

Decode the RFP

Write Alongside parses your funder's requirements and builds a scoring map before you write word one. RFP, RFA, NOFO — whatever your funder calls it.

Step 02

Catch your gaps

As you draft, the AI flags unsourced claims and missing required elements — then talks you through how to close each one, in your own words, with your coach.

Step 03

Check against the rubric

Your draft is scored against the funder's actual rubric — criterion by criterion, so you see exactly which points you're leaving on the table.

Drop what the funder sent you — the RFP plus every addendum, form, and attachment. It sorts out which is which, tells you what it decided, and asks which track you’re applying for. You confirm.

The real scorecard: overall score, rubric coverage, and exactly which criteria are leaving points on the table.

A coach that’s already read your RFP.

When a note needs more than a one-line fix, talk it through. Your coach already knows this proposal — so you skip the context-pasting that general chatbots make you do, and get straight to the work. It drafts wording only when you ask; you keep the pen.

Reads your RFP

The required elements and review criteria for the section you're drafting — already loaded.

Sees your score

Your rubric scorecard and exactly which criteria are leaving points on the table.

Tracks your notes & gaps

The open review notes and gap questions on your draft — and it remembers what you've set aside, so it won't re-raise it.

Built on one rule: the cursor is sovereign.

The AI may flag, nudge, and draft wording in conversation — but it never writes into your document unasked.

Stay original, accountable, and disclosable — you’re the author of record.

Funders permit AI — they draw the line at authorship. NIH won’t treat work substantially developed by AI as your original ideas; NEH and Horizon Europe require you to disclose AI use; a fabricated AI citation is research misconduct everywhere. Write Alongside records a verifiable authorship trail on every plan — what you wrote, what you pasted in (recorded as such), what the AI assisted with at your request, and what you edited — and has the record independently timestamped while you write, not reconstructed after. On Pro, or a $79 proposal unlock, you can share it with funders as a verifiable link or reviewer document they can check themselves.

Timestamped while you write · funder-verifiable

A screen recording of the real authorship trail: the human-authorship summary shows the author wrote 11 of 15 paragraphs directly while 4 involved AI assistance — all recorded as such. Provenance and sourcing tracks uploaded documents and AI-synthesized claims still to verify; writing sessions are listed with their times; and every paragraph carries its own recorded history. The record never claims more than it knows, is timestamped while you write, and is verifiable by funders.

Frequently asked questions

Will using Write Alongside violate my funder's AI policy?

Funders permit AI-assisted writing — what they require is that you stay the original, accountable author and, increasingly, that you disclose AI use. NIH won't treat work "substantially developed by AI" as your own; NEH and Horizon Europe require disclosure. Write Alongside keeps you the author — the AI proposes and checks, but nothing it suggests enters your proposal unless you write it in or ask for it — and leaves an authorship trail you can disclose. Always confirm your specific program's requirements; Write Alongside makes compliance the default rather than an afterthought.

Do you train on my proposals?

Never. Your uploaded documents and drafts are yours. We do not use your content to train models.

Isn't this just ChatGPT for grants?

No. ChatGPT doesn't know your RFP, your scoring rubric, or your uploaded evidence — and it will happily invent a statistic for your needs statement. Write Alongside is RFP-aware, rubric-tied, and requirement-checked. It's a system, not a prompt.
