Why Use ChatEIC?
1 Day Instead of 1 Month
ChatEIC is fast. In fact, it saves 99% of the proposal writing time. It can produce a full EIC Accelerator Step 1 proposal in minutes. Manual writing often takes one month until a usable draft is produced, and non-professional writers often take even longer than that.
Download A Word File
ChatEIC directly addresses the applicant's needs by providing an editable and formatted Word file (.docx) as the final output. This makes it not only fast, accurate, and high-quality but also very convenient to use. Downloads are unlimited.
ChatEIC Knows The EIC Rules
Many applicants that apply by themselves fail due to technicalities rather than based on the merit of their idea. The EIC tends to grade proposals like a school teacher rather than like an investor. They expect specific wordings, Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), diversity plans, hiring strategies, and more. ChatEIC knows the rules.
High Quality Proposal
Here is what its creator has to say: "I was very impressed with the quality of the output even based on very diverse input data sets. It could easily handle proposal writing just based on a pitch deck and was able to extract just what it needs to write sections the way a professional would."
Save 95% on Consultancy Fees
ChatEIC is highly affordable and offers the best value for money compared to alternative AI tools. While consultancies typically charge €5,000 or more for preparing a Step 1 proposal, ChatEIC costs at least 95% less, making it a cost-effective solution for your grant writing needs.
Avoid Research Headaches
The European Innovation Council (EIC) is notoriously complex, and most online content is outdated due to frequent program changes and transformations. ChatEIC stays up to date and reliable. Instead of spending time on research and grant writing, you can focus on building your business and innovation!
ChatEIC Avoids Red Flags
The EIC evaluation criteria are akin to an obstacle course. Small divergence in the team, technology, funding plans, financial projections, policy targets, social impacts, or gender equality can lead to strikingly different results. Many applicants inadvertently embed red flags in their proposal by asking for an ineligible funding amount, defining the TRL incorrectly, setting the wrong project duration, and more. There are dozens if not hundreds of possible red flags, which is why using ChatEIC as a framework is a safe way to avoid most of them. ChatEIC has very defined processes which structure key sections with full EIC alignment in mind. It will automatically reshape most sections to fit the program even if the input diverged from it to increase the quality of the proposal.

Start Using ChatEIC: Common Use Cases
Use Case 1: Fill Out a Template & Upload a File (select "All Modules")
The best way to use ChatEIC is to fill out a short template which is provided above the input box. This questionnaire contains a structured overview for the AI and, once filled, can be added to the text input field. Additionally, you should attach a file with more technology information below so that ChatEIC has enough information to work with. Once the text and file are added, the user selects the All Modules option in the top dropdown menu and clicks the Submit button. ChatEIC will start processing and you will have a complete proposal in minutes. Afterwards, you can download the final Word document using the button in the top right of the page.
Use Case 2: Upload a Pitch Deck (select "All Modules")
A good way to use ChatEIC is to simply upload a pitch deck and let ChatEIC turn it into a proposal. While the output always depends on the input, ChatEIC is able to write a comprehensive EIC Accelerator proposal even with just minimal data so you will be able to get a good result. Nonetheless, make sure that the pitch deck contains important information as listed in the Template provided above the input box. The pitch deck should cover the innovation, technology, competitors, team and more.
Use Case 3: Module-by-Module (select each Module individually)
A conservative approach can be to select each Module individually and let ChatEIC generate each one based on the data you have entered into the input field. To support the gradual proposal creation, there are instructions for each module at the top of the page to guide you through each section. While this approach takes longer than simply generating All Modules at once, it is a good way to ensure that you have provided all the essential data and is also useful if you wish to upload specific documents for each Module.
Use Case 4: ChatEIC As An Editor (select "All Modules")
One additional use case that is of great value to applicants is the ability to upload an EIC Accelerator proposal that was rejected or is in the draft stage and to use it as a basis for ChatEIC. The outcome will be a new proposal that includes all the data while retaining the quality alignment with EIC-relevant output criteria. Additionally, applicants can use the companion template to add more input data that they might have missed in the original proposal.
Use Case 5: Upload Everything You Have (select "All Modules")
A powerful use case for ChatEIC is to upload 100+ pages of written content and generate an entire proposal. Similar to worker bees, the AIs will select and pick the content they need for each proposal section without getting confused by the massive data input. This is a great way to create a very detailed proposal quickly.

How Do Credits Work?
Due to the complexity of EIC Accelerator proposals, the document is split into different modules. Each module generation costs 1 credit. With about 50 modules per proposal, the user can generate 2 proposals for 100 credits. This is valuable since it can be necessary to redo certain modules if some input was missing.
How Is The Quality?
ChatEIC produces high-quality output that directly reflects the level of detail provided in your input. The more comprehensive your input data, the more detailed and precise your proposal will be. While it's possible to generate a complete proposal from just a pitch deck or summary, some sections might lack depth if the corresponding information wasn't included in your input. For the best results, we recommend using our companion template and generating each module individually, following the specific guidance provided for each section.
Are There Limitations?
The context window of the AI is generally 100,000 to 200,000 tokens which translates to 400,000 to 800,000 characters. Files that contain more text will not be usable (i.e., very large documents) but the uploader works for pitch decks, regular sized summaries and more. It will also be necessary to check the generated text for accuracy and to generate other documents that might be needed for the submission (i.e., images, video, pitch deck).
What Happens To My Data?
All data is handled with care and will not be shared unnecessarily, as defined in the Privacy Policy. It is possible for every user to fully delete all input and output data from the database after which not even the administrator can recover it. It is recommended to use ChatEIC to generate a proposal and to then delete all data after you have downloaded the final result.
