Building an AI research robot

At Fundify we are building an AI research robot to help those not used to searching for funding the opportunity to find grants through having a conversation with the latest technology. The AI that we are deploying will have access to all of the internal fundify data and will used conversational techniques used by Chat GTP Open AI to help seek additional information and clarification.

At the present time we are busy training the robot, and so it would be of great assistance if any Karten Network users could assist with suggesting some search queries or criteria, and the link to the Robot is here. Fundify – The Search Engine for Grant Funding. (wearefundify.org.uk)

As a bit of fun we are also asking for suggestions to name the robot, with the winner gaining a two year subscription to the platform.

Winners will be selected at the end of October.


Applications for funding for additional equipment

We are introducing an application form which will be required for funding applications.  I have added a link to the form that should be used by existing Karten Centres, along with the SpreadSheet template that forms part of your application.  The application deadline for the next Trustees’ meeting is 12 noon on 17 January 2020.  The completed application form and associated documents should be emailed to dawn@karten-network.org.uk.  Please advise me at the earliest opportunity if you are thinking of developing an application for the next meeting.

Application and funding changes

Advance warning that significant changes will be implemented regarding the application process for Karten funding.  More details will follow by the end of November, but I wanted Centres to be aware that for future applications an Application Form will be introduced.  This will apply to all Centres applying for additional funding from March 2020.  The application form is currently under development and will be issued as soon as possible with relevant guidance.

If any Centres are currently working on their applications, the provided guidelines are still relevant and the spreadsheet will also need to be completed to accompany the application.  You should be able to develop the basis of your applications and then transfer content over to the application form once it is ready for use.
