Frequently asked questions
Questions about getting started, preparing applications and the information Charles uses.
What can Charles AI help me do?
Charles helps you research funding programs, understand requirements, explore eligible expenses and prepare working answers for your applications. It connects the conversation with your company and application context so you can move forward with a clearer understanding of the next task.
What powers Charles AI’s funding research?
Charles works with helloDarwin’s proprietary funding data and research agents. It combines program information with the context you provide in the conversation and the company or application you are working on. You can ask it to explain the source information behind an answer.
How can I get the most useful answers?
Ask a concrete question, such as which planned expenses a program supports or what information is missing from your draft. Add the relevant notes or documents, and update the conversation when your project changes. You can begin with an incomplete idea and clarify it as you go.
How does Charles support my applications?
Move between the conversation and the application workspace to organize documents, develop working answers and follow preparation. Charles helps you clarify requirements and refine the content your team is building for each funding file.
