Could you build this?
Partial The matching UI and LLM drafting tool are straightforward, but maintaining an up-to-date, structured database of 12,400+ grants, residencies, and open calls requires continuous data ingestion and scraping infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The platform requires automated web scrapers (Playwright/Scrapy) monitoring hundreds of arts foundation sites, coupled with an LLM extraction pipeline to normalize grant deadlines, eligibility criteria, and award amounts into Postgres. Vector search (pgvector) matches the artist's CV embeddings with grant descriptions, while prompt-engineered agents handle application drafting.
