The partnership between Granter and the Câmara Municipal de Montemor-o-Novo started with a simple goal: make public grant preparation and submission more efficient. From the very first meetings, the focus was on automating and digitalising workflows, equipping the teams with better tools, and centralising the management of all submissions.
As a public entity, Câmara de Montemor-o-Novo has specific administrative responsibilities. So, the target was not to change strategy or seek new funding, but to streamline execution and make the application process faster, more organised, and easier
to manage.

The Challenge
Handling multiple grant applications with limited resources and strict compliance

Unlike private organisations seeking to expand their funding portfolio, the Câmara Municipal de Montemor-o-Novo already operates within a defined framework of grants. Many opportunities are pre-determined at regional or national level, and the municipality must respond within fixed deadlines. So the challenge is not identifying new opportunities, but their execution.

Balancing deadlines, compliance and administrative demands

With multiple commitments running in parallel, internal teams must prepare detailed applications under
strict timelines while ensuring compliance with public sector requirements. Each submission demands structured documentation, technical accuracy and administrative consistency. At the same time, once
approved, grants require ongoing management and reporting, adding another layer of operational complexity.
The main challenge was to optimise the writing and preparation process, so the municipality could meet submission deadlines efficiently, without overloading internal resources, while maintaining compliance with
the specific requirements of a public body.

To address this challenge, Câmara de Montemor-o-Novo integrated the AI Grant Consultant into their funding workflow, offering their team full support in the writing process.
Instead of focusing on opportunity discovery, the AI agent helps accelerate content preparation, structure technical information, and organise all required documentation. Through a detailed implementation process, the agent was trained to enable teams to move quickly from internal planning to submission-ready drafts. With that in mind, the pilot currently deploys one core module:

Objectives
Reducing manual effort and
speeding up application drafting
From initial draft
to successful submission in under 72 Hours
Reducing manual effort and speeding up
application drafting
Reducing manual effort and speeding up
application drafting
Save time on applications
Prepare application drafts faster and more efficiently, reducing manual effort while ensuring that content is clear, structured, and compliant with public sector requirements.
This allows teams to focus on reviewing and finalising applications rather than spending excessive time drafting, helping them handle multiple grants within tight deadlines.
