Tali
Tali learns how your development team works, remembers what donors have told you, and notices when something changes. When it does, Tali brings in the colleagues who need to weigh in and prepares the next step. Your team decides what goes out.
Tali connects a donor’s earlier interest with new program results, giving the fundraising team a reason to reconnect.
Inside Gratona, program and finance colleagues contribute to the same work. An approved budget updates the proposal. Leslie reviews the prepared message before it goes to Maya.
Maya’s reply becomes part of the context, and Tali updates the meeting brief. The film closes with other places teams can work with Tali: iMessage or WhatsApp, Teams or Slack.
Instrumental music and sound effects accompany the film.

Working with Tali
Ask Tali what's still missing before you reach out. Think through a proposal together. Bring Program and Finance into the same piece of work. Or give Tali a standing job, like watching sponsor coverage, with a named owner on your team.
Tali works inside Gratona. If your team prefers iMessage or WhatsApp, Teams or Slack, you can ask Tali there instead, and the context comes with you.
Choose wherever your team works. The question and the answer are the same. This example is from before Finance approved the budget.

Finance hasn't approved a budget yet, so the proposal still carries the $50,000 draft estimate. Program has confirmed the results.
Two minutes, step by step: the sources Leslie checks, the budget Finance approves, and exactly what Maya receives.
Back in March, Maya told Leslie something that's easy to lose track of. If reading improves, let's discuss a second site.
Six months later, Program approved the pilot evaluation. Reading proficiency rose from 42 to 68% for the same hundred learners.
Nobody asked Tali to go looking. It noticed that Maya's condition had just been met and put it in front of Leslie, right in Gratona.
Leslie opens it and checks the sources for herself. Maya's email, in her own words, and the approved evaluation right beside it.
Then she asks, what's still missing before we reach out? Tali is specific. The proposal still carries a $50,000 draft estimate, and Finance hasn't approved a budget. So, it isn't ready yet.
Leslie brings Program and Finance into the same piece of work. Program confirms the results. Then Dana, in Finance, approves the second-site budget, $62,000.
Watch the proposal. The draft estimate is replaced by the approved $62,000, the budget is attached, and now it's ready for Leslie.
Leslie knows Maya. She makes the invitation more personal. Could we explore a second-site together? Tali keeps the approved numbers and attachments, and carries Leslie's edit into the version she'll send.
Before anything goes out, she checks exactly what Maya will get. The right thread, the evaluation, the approved budget, and this version of the proposal. Then she approves this version, and Tali sends it.
Two days later, Maya writes back. She'd like to talk next week, and she asks how the second-site would recruit teachers.
Leslie doesn't ask for anything. Tali has already updated her meeting brief. What Maya asked in March, what she was sent, and her new question, with Program lined up to answer it. Leslie walks into that conversation with the whole story.
And if your team works in iMessage or WhatsApp, Teams, or Slack, you can ask Tali there instead. Whichever one you use, it's the same brief.
That's Tali, your AI colleague for fundraising teams, in Gratona.
Tali works within the records and tools your team permits and shows the records behind each recommendation. Your team reviews, edits, and approves messages before they reach donors, funders, or board members.
Tali's name comes from tal, the Hebrew word for morning dew.
We'll show how Tali would find the context, bring in the people you need, and prepare the next step in Gratona.
