Abstract

This paper examines the beta readiness of GrantSpace, an AI-powered grant management platform developed by North Light AI, as it pivots from institutional customers to freelance and independent grant writers. As generative AI tools have commoditized basic writing capabilities, competitive advantage in grant technology increasingly depends on supporting creative flow, reducing professional risk, and enabling policy-compliant workflows. Using market analysis, competitive benchmarking, and UX and data-readiness evaluation, this study assesses whether GrantSpace’s current beta experience aligns with freelance grant writer needs.
