For funders, NGOs, investors and businesses in development and humanitarian work

Know the funding landscape before you walk into the room.

Describe your plan in plain words. In a few minutes you get a cited brief: who funds what, where the gaps are, and the crisis, access and economic conditions on the ground. Then an agent keeps watching, and writes only when something changes. In this beta, new briefs are for invited reviewers; the examples are open to all.

Education in emergencies in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger: funding gaps and partner options

In 2025 the education cluster of each national appeal was only 18% to 33% funded: 18% in Mali, 26% in Burkina Faso and 33% in Niger.

Who it's for

One question, a brief shaped around your decision.

Each example was made on the live service from a single question. The organisations are made up; the data is not.

Foundations and donors

See who else funds your theme, how big the gap is, and which partners are active.

Example · Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger
  • The education gap is substantial—but current cluster financing needs checking
  • Separate education funders from the broader humanitarian financing landscape
  • Budget for access and continuity—not just classrooms and materials
Read their brief →

NGOs and humanitarian teams

Prepare funding and coordination talks: access, underfunded clusters, local partners.

Example · South Sudan
  • Extreme access constraints require county-level decisions
  • Funding has fallen, but pooled-fund allocations offer a contrasting signal
  • A national-partner shortlist—with distinct reasons to investigate
Read their brief →

Relief and emergency funds

Current hazard alerts, disaster risk and who else funds preparedness.

Example · Nepal, Bangladesh
  • Where to refresh flood readiness first
  • Access: budget for physical isolation, verify administrative barriers
  • Who funds this—and which portfolios actually fit
Read their brief →

Impact investors

Development-finance counterparts, private finance mobilised and country risk.

Example · Kenya, Uganda
  • Capital is substantial, but the off-grid share is unresolved
  • Kenya: pursue clean-energy finance and bank channels
  • Uganda: test subsidy-backed access and project alignment
Read their brief →

Social enterprises

Funders and programmes in your sector, and which partners to approach first.

Example · Tanzania
  • The largest funders are not necessarily the best first customers
  • A practical order for outreach
  • Keep specialist health and foundation leads targeted

Same country, different reader

Same country. Different decisions.

Two readers asked about Ukraine. The data is the same; what each brief leads with, and what it tells them to do next, is not.

How it works

From a question to a brief you can use, then a watch that keeps it current.

1

Ask in your own words

"We fund education in emergencies in the Sahel. Who else funds this, and how big is the gap?" No forms or codes. The assistant works out the countries, sectors and indicators.

2

Get a cited brief in minutes

A bottom line, the donor landscape, funding gaps, crisis and access conditions, partners to approach and questions to ask, with evidence cards to inspect the figures.

3

Let the agent watch

Each week the agent checks what changed for your scope: Norway's agreement data, the crisis, funding and food-security indices, disaster alerts and the week's web reporting. It decides what you need, and tells you why:

Full briefTwo large agreements show their first recorded payments in your scope, and a new partner appeared.
Short updateYou asked for shorter briefs; little changed since the last one.
HoldNothing material changed within your weekly cadence, so nothing is sent.
What's inside a brief

The whole picture in one place, with a source behind the figures.

Everything below comes from a real example brief on education in emergencies in the Central Sahel, made on the live service.

Crisis severity and hazard alerts

Crises, access and recent natural-hazard alerts on one map

The shaded countries are the ones the brief covers, and each one's crisis severity and access constraints (ACAPS) are listed under the map. Dots are recent GDACS natural-hazard alerts in the provider's colours; green means international assistance is unlikely to be needed, although local impact can still be significant.

About 30 countries are open to everyone and updated each night; signed-in reviewers open any country, gathered fresh each day, and one click turns a page into a brief.

The weekly watch

An agent that knows when to stay quiet.

  1. It checks your scopeAny change in the data behind your brief: appeal and pooled-fund funding, crisis severity and access, food insecurity and prices, disaster alerts, Norway's agreements and partners, plus a scan of the week's web reporting. Most weeks little changes, and it stays quiet.
  2. It decidesA full brief, a short update, or nothing at all, and it always says why.
  3. It writes to youA personal email in your sector's colours, with the bottom line and a link to the full brief.
  4. It learns from one click"Shorter", "more on partners", "more on policy": the next brief follows your answer.

Hosted in the EU. Funding data reconciled to the source, a database for the evidence and the agent's memory, and AI models for reasoning and writing.

Built to be trusted

A research assistant, not an oracle.

Evidence you can inspect

Citations open the supporting evidence cards. Automated checks flag some unsupported figures; review the linked sources before use.

News kept apart

Web research never becomes a cited fact. It is shown separately, next to the evidence.

Your context, your authority

Your input guides the brief. Checks remove some unsupported claims about your organisation; review its wording before speaking on your organisation's behalf.

A draft for people

Indices are context, not verdicts. Every brief says "review before use", and missing data is shown as missing.
