Google announced expanded features for its Bard AI tool today. Bard now includes specific support for grant writing tasks. This new capability aims to help nonprofit organizations and researchers. Creating strong grant proposals is often difficult and time-consuming. Google believes Bard can make this process easier.

The tool helps users find relevant funding opportunities. It also assists in drafting proposal sections and creating budgets. Bard provides templates and guides based on successful past grants. Users can input details about their project. Bard then generates tailored content. This content serves as a starting point. Users must still review and edit the output carefully.
Google emphasizes Bard is a helper, not a replacement. Human expertise remains essential for crafting compelling narratives. The grant writing support builds on Bard’s existing writing aids. These aids include help with emails, documents, and creative text. Bard uses Google’s latest large language model technology. This technology powers the new grant-specific functions.
Access to Bard remains free of charge. Users need a Google account. The grant writing features are available immediately in English. Google plans to add more languages later. Nonprofits, educational institutions, and individual researchers can use the tool. The goal is to level the playing field for smaller organizations. These groups often lack dedicated grant writing staff.

Google stated this update responds directly to user requests. Many users sought help navigating complex grant applications. The company sees AI as a valuable partner in important work. This work includes securing funding for community projects and scientific research. Bard’s development continues actively. More specialized features are expected in the coming months.
