Problem
Organizations seeking funding often spend extensive time and resources manually drafting proposals for grants, investments, and procurement bids, leading to missed opportunities and inefficient allocation of staff effort.
Solution
Askelle offers an AI‑powered proposal generation platform that automates the creation of funding applications. Users upload existing materials such as business plans or prior proposals, and the system builds a private knowledge base to inform a large language model. The model then drafts customized proposals, aligning language, structure, and budget details with the specific requirements of each opportunity. All processing occurs within a secure, closed environment that preserves confidentiality. The platform streamlines the workflow, allowing leaders to respond to more opportunities with fewer personnel hours while maintaining high‑quality, compliant submissions.
