Open the AI Lab
Select AI Lab in the app. Inside it is called the Founder Lab. Each tool runs in the context of whichever startup is active in your startup switcher, so the output is shaped to your venture rather than generic advice.
The twelve tools
- Founder Mentor. Think through a founder question or decision.
- Pitch Improver. Points out what is unclear or unconvincing in your pitch.
- Growth Roadmap. Lays out next steps for growth.
- Grant Writer. A first draft of grant application answers from your profile.
- Idea Validator. Sanity-checks an idea against the problem you say it solves.
- Market Research. Helps you frame your market and size it realistically.
- Funding Strategy. Suggests a mix of funding routes for where you are.
- Investor Email and Follow-Up Email. Drafts outreach to investors and the follow-up after.
- Cover Letter. A cover letter for an application.
- Application Helper. Paste a form's questions and get draft answers.
- RFP Analyzer. Reads a call's PDF in your browser and turns its required sections into a checklist. The PDF is not uploaded.
The writing tools you submit from, such as drafts, form answers, cover letters and the RFP analysis, run on a higher-quality model. Each account can make 5,000 AI requests a month; if you reach that, the app says so and the count resets the next month.
How each tool uses your profile
Every tool draws on your startup profile: your stage, sector, location, registrations and what you do. You do not start from a blank page. You can add context in the moment, but the baseline is your real startup. A complete profile pays off here as much as it does in scoring.
One known gap: the Grant Writer does not yet use grant details you paste into it, so its draft is shaped by your profile only. For a draft aimed at one specific grant, use the Application Lab in that grant's side panel in Matches, or paste the grant's questions into the Application Helper.
Drafts, never submissions
Every tool produces a first draft, a starting point, not a finished application. Read it, correct anything wrong, add the specifics only you know, and put it in your own voice before it goes anywhere.
Incubateer never submits an application for you. There is no button that sends a draft to a grant body on your behalf. You own every submission.
Common questions
What can the AI Lab do?
It helps with the writing-heavy parts of applying and fundraising: drafting answers, cover letters and investor emails, analysing a call's PDF into a checklist, and pressure-testing your pitch and idea. You stay in control and edit everything. To check eligibility for a grant, use Check eligibility on its card in Matches.
Does the AI submit or auto-fill government forms?
No. The AI drafts; you review, edit, and submit. No founder should let a tool press submit on an official form.
