AI powered by your past applications

Hinchilla uses your organisation's own content, successful applications, case studies, impact reports and policy documents. That takes AI responses past the generic fluff you get from ChatGPT and other tools, saving time on repetitive work so you can focus on what matters.

Your knowledge base powering AI answers

Grant-winning language

Maintain your authentic voice across applications by learning from your past work. Hinchilla turns technical jargon into persuasive, funding-friendly language tailored to reviewers' expectations.

Refining language for grant applications

Researched and aligned to each funder

What our users say

Hinchilla has turned a week of work into a day. I recently did a big government homelessness bid with a short deadline that I simply wouldn't have attempted otherwise. Because the first draft came back so quickly and with such good content, I only needed to spend another eight or nine hours on it rather than 40 or 50. More bids are going in, and that means we're more likely to survive.

Hinchilla is amazing for getting the structure of an application so I can focus on the detail and nuances. It's definitely better than any other AI I've tried in this area. Being able to generate funding applications that are broadly similar but have a different key focus, without having to laboriously rewrite and adapt manually, has been brilliant. It's definitely saved me a lot of time and the content doesn't sound like AI churn, it feels very different to generic tools like ChatGPT.

I've been really impressed by Hinchilla. It produces responses that read much less like AI than other platforms and does a great job of aligning messaging with the aims and objectives of the funder.
