## Product Overview

Optible AI provides a native AI intelligence layer for grant management that can integrate with existing grant management systems or operate as a standalone platform. Key capabilities include:

- **AI-Driven Screening and Processing**: Automatically scans and categorises grant applications, identifying eligibility and flagging incomplete or incorrect data. Processes thousands of applications in minutes.
- **Adaptive Rubrics**: AI trained specifically for grant evaluation that scores every application against your exact rubric with consistent, objective standards — not generic text analysis.
- **Automated Workflows**: Manages document validation, payment processing, and reporting, cutting review time by up to 90%.
- **Real-Time Document Validation**: Validates submitted documents in real-time, reducing errors and ensuring compliance before applications proceed.
- **Real-Time Data Analysis and Custom Reports**: Customisable dashboards filter data by specific criteria. Reports are exportable for teams and external stakeholders. Delivers a 300x increase in data insights.
- **Built-in Bias Detection**: Removes bias and inequity from assessments, ensuring every applicant receives fair and consistent evaluation.
- **SLM-Powered Evaluation**: Uses a Small Language Model trained on grant evaluation data with standardized scoring rubrics, unlimited scalability, and cost-effective operations.

## Key Statistics and Results

- 91% reduction in grant assessment time
- 99% accuracy in application evaluations

## Approach to AI Fairness and Ethics

Optible AI is committed to fair, transparent, and auditable AI in grant management:

- Accepted into Australia's AI Sprint, a collaboration between the National AI Centre, Stone & Chalk, and Google Cloud, competing within the cohort focusing on fair and transparent governance.
- Provides an auditable system — not a "black box" — generating thousands of unbiased data points to help refine policy.
- Focuses on "Applied AI" specifically designed for grant-making workflows, respecting data boundaries and sector-specific ethics.
- Supports the concept of "co-intelligence" — seamless collaboration between human judgment and machine logic.
- Implements three tiers of AI adoption: Quick Wins (automating repetitive tasks), Process Reinvention (redesigning how applications are scored), and Moonshot Business Models (rethinking the role of foundations in the digital age).
