Fimu is more than a chatbot.
Fimu combines AI with genuine expert knowledge in cultural funding, making that knowledge available to you whenever you need it. At the same time, Fimu is your personal funding management system: it automatically searches for funding programs that match your project, keeps track of deadlines, and notifies you in time.
And when it’s time to take action, Fimu does the work for you: from researching funding opportunities and preparing applications to creating budgets and completing grant reports.
That’s how AI becomes a real funding assistant – from finding the right funding opportunity to completing the final report.

Fimu is more than a language model. It is built on a purpose-built, continuously maintained knowledge base dedicated to cultural funding.
Our system continuously researches the web, identifies relevant funding programs, and extracts the information that matters: eligibility requirements, deadlines, target groups, exclusion criteria, eligible costs, and other program-specific requirements. The Fimu team then reviews this information for completeness and accuracy and enriches it with additional expert knowledge.
This knowledge comes from more than documents alone. We continuously stay up to date with the funding landscape through panel discussions, jury meetings, and information events, and we work with experts who have spent many years advising and supporting artists and cultural professionals with grant applications.
Fimu also processes original source documents and analyzes successfully submitted applications. This helps us identify recurring patterns, relevant requirements, and program-specific nuances, which we then structure and incorporate into the knowledge base.
That makes a crucial difference compared to a general-purpose AI tool: Fimu doesn’t just understand language and text. It understands the specific logic of cultural funding. This allows the AI to match funding programs to projects, account for their specific requirements, and create applications and grant reports based on the conditions of each program.
