Beyond Point Solutions: Finding Money with an AI Grant Agent

Description:

In today's AI-driven world, the tools we use for our organizations are more important than ever. While many of us rely on single purpose point solutions, a more effective approach lies in the power of a unified platform. Join us to learn why an integrated platform is critical for efficiency and success, especially when it comes to harnessing AI. We'll also provide an exclusive look at our innovative Grant-finding AI Agent — a powerful tool that helps schools and educational organizations literally find money by identifying and matching them with relevant funding opportunities. Discover how moving beyond fragmented solutions can transform your operations and lead to new opportunities.

Presenters:

• Trenton Davis - HBCU Account Executive, Salesforce

• Aaron Godby - Owner/CEO, Green Irony

2. Build an AI-ready roadmap
1. Participants will apply an AI-readiness checklist to their current stack, identify two-three high-impact use cases to consolidate/automate using AI within 90 days, and define success metrics (time-to-resolution, cost per transaction, data completeness).
