Apply AI completes funder forms — you approve every submission.

Apply AI brings human-approved, AI-assisted application submission to supported funder portals. Isla completes the form; you inspect it; nothing is submitted without your organisation's final approval. Small memberships and aboveare plan-eligible for its default-off controlled rollout; separate workspace opt-in and verified-connector gates still apply. Buying a plan does not automatically unlock Apply AI.
