AI & Data

AI that works on your grants data, with permissions you control.

Integrations do the same thing every time, and they should. What's new is being able to explore your grants data in plain language, across every system it's connected to, and start the right process when you're ready.

What does that look like in practice?

A question that used to need a custom report, answered in one step: which grantee organizations are registered in SAM.gov, and which registrations are about to expire.

Illustration, based on an April 2025 prototype: read-only, nothing changes without you

Which of our grantee organizations are registered in SAM.gov, and which registrations expire in the next 90 days?

I matched your grantee organizations to SAM.gov by their UEI. 38 are registered; these 2 expire in the next 90 days.

Ask and act, with a human in the loop

  • Read before write. AI starts read-only; anything that changes data runs through the integrations you already trust, after you approve it.
  • Your data stays governed. You decide which people and which data the AI can reach.
  • No funding decisions. AI helps people find and act on information. It doesn't screen or score grantees.

What I build

  • MCP servers that let AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT work with your grants system. In April 2025 I built the first one on the Fluxx API, as my own project.
  • Knowledge graphs over your grant history: a connected map of funders, organizations, grants and outcomes, so you can see relationships that reports and spreadsheets hide. For example, which of your grantees are also funded by your peer foundations, or which programs share the same partners.
  • AI-native products. I've designed and built AI-native SaaS products from scratch, and I can be the founding builder or fractional CTO for yours.

For philanthropy tech companies

If you're building a product for funders, I bring the inside view: grants management, payments, impact measurement and AI, from more than 16 years of building in this space.
