Use the Ask Grant panel to ask a question about one opportunity. Grant answers from the notice and shows the sources it read. If your plan is Pilot, Grant is locked.

Steps

  1. Open an opportunity. The Grant panel opens on the right.
  2. If the panel is closed, click Ask Grant.
  3. Enter your question in the box Ask Grant about this opportunity….
  4. Press Enter, or click the send arrow. Press Shift and Enter for a new line.
  5. Read the answer. Click a button under Grant read to open its source.
  6. If Grant shows a question card, enter your answer or click Yes or No.
  7. To skip a question, click Skip.

What you see next

Grant shows "Grant is thinking…" and then the answer. After you answer a question, the panel shows "updating the take…". Then the call and the reasons on the page can change.

A line at the top of the panel can show how many questions Grant "still needs". The block You told me lists your answers. Click a row to change an answer. Click Cancel to keep the old answer.

To clear the conversation, click Start over. The button shows only after the first message.

⚠️ If this does not work: Keep a message to about 2,000 characters. If the panel says Grant is unavailable, wait and try again. If Grant has not analyzed the opportunity, read What to do when Grant has not analyzed an opportunity.
