Claude Haiku 4.5 @ 2026-01-15, and latest Claude Extension for Chrome
I went to our project page on the Instrumental website, clicked the Claude Extension icon to the right of the URL bar, and then entered this prompt:
You are an expert at researching grant opportunities. My nonprofit teaches other nonprofits how to use AI effectively and responsibly. You need to first look at the grants that I’ve selected as being possibilities, which are viewable when you click on the “Tracker” link at the top. Review each grant carefully. Then look at all possible grants, by clicking on the “Matches” link at the top. For each grant, look at its description, and decide whether it’s a good match for my nonprofit. Create a report with the top 10 most promising opportunities. For each opportunity, provide the name, a brief summary of the grant, and why you think it’s a good match

I gave it some hints about what to click on in order to get at the right sections. E.g. you have to get to the Tracker list to see what grants I’d already saved.
Claude displayed its plan, which looked right, so I approved it. In about 10 minutes it had finished.
