# What is Atom? **Atom streamlines grant discovery and management for researchers and their teams.** At Atom, we know the never-ending search for the right grant funding opportunities. Our user-friendly grant discovery platform connects researchers with the perfect grant opportunities tailored *just for them*, featuring personalized research interests, filters, and automatic eligibility checks. Our semantic search means that researchers are matched with the most relevant funding opportunities and can quickly search our extensive database. Searches and personalized research interests can easily be defined using keywords, sentences, or entire abstracts (and can even be setup automatically using a researcher's publication record). With personalized emails, researchers receive newly listed and upcoming grants selected *just for them* in their inbox (with weekly, biweekly, or monthly frequency). Saving further time, understanding grant listings is facilitated by our new [AI-enabled features](https://docs.atomgrants.com/ai-powered-tools/ai-tools-overview) such as the "Chat with Proposal" tool, eligibility check, and requirement checklistlist.
