For everyone who funds or delivers aid

Know the funding landscape before you walk into the room.

Describe your plan in plain words. In a few minutes you get a cited brief: who funds what, where the gaps are, and the crisis, access and economic conditions on the ground. Then an agent keeps watching, and writes only when something changes.

How it works

From a question to a brief you can use, then a watch that keeps it current.

1

Ask in your own words

"We fund education in emergencies in the Sahel. Who else funds this, and how big is the gap?" No forms or codes. The assistant works out the countries, sectors and indicators.

2

Get a cited brief in minutes

A bottom line, the donor landscape, funding gaps, crisis and access conditions, partners to approach and questions to ask. Every figure links to its source.

3

Let the agent watch

Each week it checks what changed in your scope and decides what you need, and tells you why:

Full briefTwo large agreements started in your scope and a new partner appeared.
Short updateYou asked for shorter briefs; little changed since the last one.
HoldNothing material changed within your weekly cadence, so nothing is sent.
What's inside a brief

The whole picture in one place, with a source behind every number.

Everything below comes from a real example brief on education in emergencies in the Central Sahel, made on the live service.
