The teams that would qualify are too busy building to monitor grant databases. The agent monitors grant sources weekly via `routine_create` + `web-search`, matches them against your project profiles stored via `memory_write`, and surfaces only the ones you're eligible for with a pre-drafted application outline. It tracks deadlines, required materials, and submission status. A grant application is 60% boilerplate (team description, project overview, tech stack) that rarely changes. The agent keeps this in `memory_search` and pre-fills it, leaving you to write only the grant-specific 40%. ## Skills and Tools - http - memory_search - memory_write - memory_tree - message - routine_create - web-search (WASM tool, install from hub) - llm-context (WASM tool, install from hub) - gmail (WASM tool, install from hub) - google-docs (WASM tool, install from hub) - google-sheets (WASM tool, install from hub) - Business Plan Writer [(hub)](https://hub.ironclaw.com) - Technical Writing [(hub)](https://hub.ironclaw.com) - commitment-triage (built-in skill) - decision-capture (built-in skill) ## Categories - Web 3 / Crypto - Business ops - Files / knowledge - Automation ## Links - [HTML page](https://hub.ironclaw.com/usecases/grant-funding-deadline-tracker-monitor-grant-databases-match-eligibility-alert-on-deadlines)
