Grant writers and consultants
Bill for your judgment
Your reputation is the product, so the constraint on your business is not skill, it is how many clients one person can carry without the work slipping. Quillify takes the research and the first draft. You keep the judgment, the relationships, and the margin, and you carry more clients than you could before.

The premise, stated so you can reject it
Your ceiling is hours. You can carry a certain number of clients at the quality that keeps them, and past that the work either slips or you turn it down. Everything that follows is about which hours we can take and which we should not touch.
The hours worth taking are research, requirement extraction, compliance matrices, first drafts of boilerplate-adjacent sections, and the check for what the announcement asked for that the draft does not answer. The hours not worth taking are the ones where your judgment is the deliverable.

What survives contact with an expert
- Quillify drafts from that client’s own documents
- Each organization has its own document room, and a draft is built from what is in it: their past proposals, their program descriptions, their budgets, their evaluation data. What comes back is editable, so nothing has to be thrown out and redone.
- Revisions are surgical
- Say “make the budget narrative more specific” or “add the new partnership” and it edits those sections and leaves the rest alone. Previous versions are kept.
- The compliance matrix is the boring feature that saves you
- Every requirement, where it is addressed, the risk of missing it, and its deadline. Assignable to whoever is producing it. The failure mode it prevents is not a weak proposal, it is a compliant proposal that gets screened out over something nobody was tracking.
- Grading against the announcement, with a prioritized list
- It scores a draft the way a reviewer would, including a three-minute skim test, and hands back what is weak in the order worth fixing. Take the two that matter and ignore the rest. It is a coaching tool, and you are the one deciding.
- Multiple organizations, one login
- On Pro and above, each client is its own organization. You switch between them from one login. One balance covers every client, and each gets its own usage tally. When an engagement ends, hand the organization over to the client’s own account. Each client’s documents stay scoped to that client, which is also the answer when a client asks you where their material lives.
The question you are actually going to ask
Yes, some funders have published policy on AI-written applications, and reviewers have opinions whether or not their agency has said anything. That is a live professional risk for you specifically, because your name is on the work.
We think you should read what the funders actually say before deciding. The exposure is much lower when the substance came from the client’s own material and a professional edited the result, which is the workflow this product is built for.
What it costs against what you bill
Proposal cost scales with how much source material you attach. Revisions only re-read the sections you named, so they cost less. Pro is $250 a month with no limit on team members.
You can do that arithmetic against your own rate in a minute. See plans and pricing.
Where this fits in your practice
Quillify takes the search and the first draft, the hours you cannot bill in full. The judgment, the relationships, and the program design stay with you.
White label and API access are an enterprise conversation rather than part of the plans: write to sales@quillify.ai. Consultancies run on one team workspace, shared checklists, and deliverables that carry your name, because you authored them.
Quillify tracks the reporting dates an award letter creates, and your team logs spending against each award with its receipts. The books stay in your accounting system.
