AI Writing Assistants for Grant Teams: 2025 Review

AI assistants can speed up grant drafting—but only if they respect governance and evidence. We compared Crafty AI, Notion AI, and GrammarlyGO to see which tool actually supports grant teams.

Quick ratings

  • Crafty AI: 4.5/5 – Best for grant-specific governance, evidence integration, and change control links.
  • Notion AI: 4/5 – Excellent for collaborative drafting and inline edits but needs manual governance.
  • GrammarlyGO: 3/5 – Great for polishing tone and grammar, limited structured support for evidence and compliance.
