Core Concepts
How Harper is Different
Most AI tools are single-node systems - like asking ChatGPT to do something once. Harper works differently.
When you email Harper, you're talking to a "swarm" of hundreds of AI models working together simultaneously. Harper breaks down your request into hundreds, sometimes thousands, of small questions processed by various LLMs including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and others, depending on their specific advantages and scope restrictions.
This swarm approach - developed with the generous pro bono contributions of scientists from Harvard, Stanford, Georgia Tech, and the University of Pennsylvania - delivers an order of magnitude better reduction in hallucination rates and output quality. Specialized models handle research, writing, fact-checking, and quality evaluation instead of one AI trying to do everything.
The result? Industry-leading accuracy and grant application drafts that take far less work to finalize. As base models improve, Harper gets exponentially better.
The Reality Check
We're the first ones to admit that our tool can't replace a grant writer. Harper isn't magic - it's an accelerant, not a replacement.
Sometimes, folks expect AI to completely replace their grant writer and work 100% autonomously. Anyone who promises their AI can replace the entire grantwriting process today isn't telling the truth.
What we can promise is that Harper will make your grant work dramatically faster and better than any other AI tool out there. But you'll still need to review applications, make final decisions, and guide the process.
Think of Harper as a jetpack - you can do awesome things you couldn't do before, but it can't fly on its own. It's an accelerant that makes you better at what you already do.
