Respond 80% faster with turnkey Responsive AI agents

Many companies who have tried to build AI in-house to automate RFP responses prefer Responsive AI agents. Why? Less risk, more support, and easier scalability. Responsive AI agents:

  • Understand your goals, plan actions, and autonomously perform multi-step tasks critical to your pursuit lifecycle, from qualification to clinching the win.
  • Write tailored comprehensive first draft responses to RFPs, RFIs, DDQs, VSQs, and individual questions in minutes.
  • Draft consistent, accurate, and personalized responses and always cite their sources.
  • Automatically ingest and organize complex questionnaires to efficiently handle key sections (including Word tables), questions, and answers.
  • Scan and summarize long-form documents to capture key requirements and inform win themes and strategic thinking.
  • Work interactively and conversationally alongside your team as trusted, self-learning AI companions.
