Questions about this kit

Will the AI prompts write my application?

They help you draft from your own facts, shorten to word limits and check consistency. You still write the final text in your own words, and you check each funder's rules on AI use.

Which AI tools do the prompts work with?

Any general AI assistant. The prompts are plain text with variables to replace.

Why three lengths?

Funders ask the same question with different word limits. Writing about 50, 150 and 300 word versions once keeps them consistent.
