Pro Tips for Success

Start with Quality Documents

The better your input documents, the better your output proposal. Include comprehensive project plans, organizational information, and relevant research to give AI the best foundation for writing.

Be Specific in Your Research Query

Instead of "education project", try "literacy program for rural primary schools in East Africa targeting 500 students aged 6-12". Specific queries generate more targeted, compelling proposals.

Use the Chat for Refinement

Don't settle for the first draft. Use chat commands like "Make the impact section more compelling" or "Add specific metrics to the budget justification" to perfect your proposal.

Review and Personalize

While AI generates excellent content, always review and add your personal touch, local context, and organization-specific details to make the proposal truly yours.
