Every incoming proposal comes with a short AI brief, so your peer reviewers, scientific committee or external experts know what's there before they invest the time.
From blank page to plan
Ask for the next set of tasks: peer review steps, eligibility and ethics checks, follow-ups, milestones, and your team approves the ones that fit.
Insights that surface what matters
Ask what's progressing, which projects need attention, where to fund next, and the answer comes back with the chart and the widget for your dashboard.
