A Mac app with an AI agent that researches, drafts, and reviews across all your grant work, in your voice.
Spring Grant Cover Letter
Dear Members of the Review Committee,
On behalf of the Riverside Youth Collective, I'm writing to introduce our work and the community we serve across the east side.
We respectfully request a grant of $40,000 to fund our after-school literacy program for the 2026 school year, covering two part-time tutors, books, and transportation for the 60 students who attend each week.
These funds would let us hold class five afternoons a week and reach a waitlist that has doubled since last spring.
With gratitude,
The Riverside Youth Collective
Done. I tightened the paragraph and made the request explicit. It now names the $40,000 figure and the program it funds, with the formatting preserved.
A real agent. Not a chat box.
Give it a goal in plain language. Alma plans the steps, searches and reads your library, runs the research, and produces the draft, then shows its work. It does the task, not just the talking.
- Does the whole task. Research, synthesis, drafting, and revision, end to end, not just answers.
- Grounded in your work. It reads across your entire library so every draft draws on your own documents.
- Edits in place. Headings, lists, tables, and links stay intact, in your voice.
Here's a one-page memo drawn from fourteen grant files. The headline: the 2025 cohort reached 1.4× our projection, concentrated in three grantees:
- GreenCorps and two others beat their reach targets by 40%.
- Two early-stage grantees need follow-up before renewal.
All your grant work, one workspace.
Every proposal, report, budget, and memo in one place: your Google Docs and local Alma notes, side by side. Open any of them in the real editor, or hand the whole library to the agent. It's home base for your work, and the agent's.
- The real Google Docs editor, built right in. Edit live without leaving the app.
- Local Alma docs for notes and drafts, with a clean live-preview editor.
- You pick what it sees. Connect Google and choose the exact files Alma can open.
Yours, and only yours.
Grant work runs on sensitive applications, budgets, and people. Alma runs on your own plan, sees only the documents you hand it, and keeps your work on your machine.
Runs on your own plan
Alma works through the AI subscription you already have, with no API key to manage and no per-token charges.
Sees only what you share
Connect Google and choose the exact documents Alma can touch. It never sees the rest of your Drive, and you can disconnect anytime.
Local-first by default
Your settings, Alma docs, and chat history live on your Mac, with tokens encrypted at rest.
