The problem
Scholarships announced on a ministry site you don't visit. Grants in English when you work in French. Deadlines buried in PDFs, shared too late on WhatsApp. Every week, an opportunity meant for you closes, and you only find out three months later, on LinkedIn, from someone who got it.

On top of that, we pull every international opportunity open to African researchers and founders: Horizon Europe, ERC, Marie Curie, NIH, NSF, Wellcome, Gates, Fulbright, DAAD, Chevening, OIF. If it can reach you, we index it.
Try it. Ask ChatGPT which grants open this week for a PhD in Senegal, it will hallucinate links, cite closed calls from 2023, or miss BCEAO, OAPI, CAMES entirely. NSAI watches live sources in real time, cites the original document with the correct URL, tracks deadlines before they close, and sends you alerts the day a match drops. ChatGPT answers a question once. NSAI works for you every day.
Scholarship blogs are great for discovery but they're newsfeeds, not tools. You still have to read every post, check if it applies to you, copy deadlines into a spreadsheet, and remember to come back. NSAI is a working tool: it learns your profile, matches opportunities for you, reminds you before deadlines, drafts why you qualify, goes deep on institutional sources in French (BCEAO, UEMOA, OAPI, CAMES, national ministries) that blogs rarely cover, and brings the whole thing, scholarships, grants, research, partners, into one dashboard.
Because we do real onboarding calls. 200 is what our small team can properly support while we learn with you. After that, we open to everyone, but beta users keep a permanent edge.
