    Hi HN, Last year, we launched a non-profit AI research lab called AI Grant (http://aigrant.org). Our goal is to fund promising people around the world working on AI. No strings attached. We've since given away over $100,000 to 30 teams working on different projects. You can see some of them here: http://aigrant.org/#finalists. We just started accepting applications for our third batch! The academic grant application process is burdensome. It's only avalible to a choice few. Applications take days to complete.

    Hi HN, I've built a grant discovery tool to help researchers speed up the grant application process. You can try out the grant search engine without signing up but for the personalized email newsletter but you will have to sign up and create a profile with your research interests. Please let us know if you have any feedback :) Background: My co-founder and I come from research backgrounds and one of the most common complaints we heard is how much time PI's spend finding and applying for funding (up to 50% of a researchers time) It currently takes 2-3 weeks to find the right grant to apply…

    Hey HN - I first posted about my knowledge base product, Atomic, here around a month ago; since then, a viral tweet by Karpathy has produced a torrent of AI powered knowledge base projects. meanwhile I've been shipping like crazy, here are some of the new features shipped in the last month: - Rebuilt the iOS app with an Android app on the way - expanded both the MCP and internal agent chat toolkit immensely - A custom, CodeMirror6-based markdown editor with obsidian-style rendering - A dashboard view that provides a daily summary of atoms created or updated in the last day And many bug fixes…
