Grantyd

What it does

Grantyd is a chrome extension that uses Gemini + Vertex AI datastore to streamline grant applications. It's acts as a personal assistant that reads your documents and auto-fills applications, saving grant writers time and energy. Grantyd was built to eliminate tedious copy-pasting by application questions and generating accurate answers based on uploaded documents, minimizing errors and making the process much faster. The main use of Gemini is in its ability to accept tools outside of just rest APIs, and in my case I use a custom datastore for each user's initiatives to act as a vertex ai search retrieval tool for every application package response. I also use Gemini's JSON output feature to parse the data in a second step to make it type safe with almost no effort. A bit of prompt engineering gets it to a very powerful place with very little effort.
