Deduplicate AI Grants Scraper with AI Eligibility Check

This n8n workflow automates the discovery and qualification of AI grants from grants.gov. It uses a scheduled trigger to fetch grants listed in the past day, applies deduplication via the Remove Duplicates node using Grant IDs to avoid reprocessing, and leverages AI (OpenAI) to summarize grants, assess business interest, and determine eligibility. Qualified grants are saved to an Airtable database for tracking.

A secondary scheduled trigger compiles new grants into a polished HTML newsletter template, briefing team members on opportunities. The email is sent via Gmail to subscribers, ensuring timely alerts without manual effort.

Benefits include significant time savings on grant hunting, reduced duplicates for cleaner data, and AI-powered filtering to focus on high-potential leads. Use cases span startups and enterprises seeking AI funding, or adapt for tenders, RFPs, or other lead sources by tweaking scraping endpoints and IDs.

Customization is straightforward: copy the sample Airtable base, adjust filters (e.g., beyond 'AI' category), swap OpenAI for other LLMs, or integrate different email/CRMs. No hard dependencies beyond Airtable and OpenAI.
