Stop wrestling with formatting and boilerplate. Attain OS and its AI agent Atty help you draft a polished grant proposal from your research context. Review and publish in hours, not weeks.
Grant proposals are the lifeblood of academic and nonprofit funding. But crafting a compelling request — with a clear problem statement, measurable objectives, and a realistic budget — often consumes weeks of precious research time. You juggle multiple documents, strict guidelines, and endless revisions. What if you could cut the drafting time by 80% while keeping your unique voice and project details intact?
That's where Attain OS and its built-in AI agent, Atty, come in. Instead of a stack of separate tools (word processor, spreadsheet, reference manager, calendar), Attain OS replaces them all. You manage your project context — team bios, past outcomes, budget items — right inside the system. When it's time to write the proposal, Atty drafts the deliverable based on that context. You review, polish, and submit. No integrations, no syncs — just a streamlined workflow from idea to submission.
A materials science lab needs to submit a 15-page NSF proposal. The PI uses Attain OS to store lab member CVs, prior grant reports, and equipment specs in the Documents and People apps. Atty drafts the project narrative using that context, including the broader impacts section. The PI reviews, adjusts the budget in Budgets, and exports the final PDF — all without opening Word or Excel.
A small nonprofit with limited staff must apply for a $50,000 community health grant. They keep program data, volunteer hours, and outcome metrics in Attain OS's Customer Management and Notes. Atty generates a proposal narrative that weaves in their impact stories from The Feed. The executive director adds a few personalized touches and submits on time.
A PhD candidate is applying for a prestigious dissertation fellowship. She maintains her research plan, bibliography, and advisor letters in Attain OS's Notes and Documents. Atty drafts a concise research statement and project timeline. She refines the language and uses Attain's Forms to track submission requirements. No frantic searching through folders.
In Attain OS, create a project in Tasks or Backlog for your grant proposal. Add relevant documents (RFPs, past proposals, CVs) to the Documents app. Use Notes to outline your key points. Use Customer Management to record funder details. The more context you provide, the better Atty's draft.
Open the Content Creator app and tell Atty: 'Write a grant proposal for [funder name] based on project [X]. Include problem statement, goals, methodology, and budget summary.' Atty pulls from your stored context — people, budget figures from Budgets, timeline from Calendar — and generates a first draft in minutes.
Read the draft in Documents. Use Atty chat to ask for revisions: 'Tighten the methodology section to one paragraph' or 'Add a sentence about our prior success in similar grants.' Atty updates the draft instantly. You can also manually edit directly in the document.
Once satisfied, export the proposal as a PDF or print it from Attain OS. Use the Calendar to set submission reminders. Share the final document with collaborators via The Feed or People — no external email needed. You have a polished, context-rich proposal ready for submission.
A close-to-finished draft — not a blank page. Here's the kind of result the flow hands you, ready to review, tweak, and publish.
Over 2 million people in the region lack access to real-time water quality data, leading to preventable waterborne illnesses. Current monitoring methods are costly and infrequent.
We will deploy 50 low-cost sensor nodes and train local community members to operate them. Data will be shared via a mobile app.
Total request: $75,000. Sensors: $30,000; Training: $15,000; Data platform: $10,000; Personnel: $20,000.
Attain OS does not enforce specific formatting templates. However, you can provide the guidelines in a Note or Document, and ask Atty to structure the draft accordingly. You can then manually adjust formatting in the Documents app before exporting.
No, Attain OS does not integrate with any third-party services, including submission portals. You will need to upload your final proposal manually to the funder's system. Attain OS replaces the tools you use to write and manage the proposal, not the submission platform itself.
Attain OS does not support real-time multi-user collaboration. However, you can share documents with team members via The Feed or People, and each person can edit sequentially. The final draft can be compiled by one person.
Atty uses the context you've built in Attain OS: documents, notes, people profiles, budget figures, and past communications. The more information you store in the system, the more accurate and relevant the draft will be. Atty does not search the web or pull from external sources.
