ProposalCreation

RFP software that reads the RFP and drafts your answers

Upload an RFP or a security questionnaire as PDF or DOCX. ProposalCreation extracts every question and requirement, drafts an answer for each one from your content library, and lets you assign questions to the right teammates. When the answers are approved, the response goes out as a formatted proposal or an exported document, with the same tracking and e-signature as every other proposal.

How AI RFP response works from upload to submission

  1. Import the RFP

    upload the PDF or DOCX, up to 60 pages per RFP on Business and up to 200 pages on Enterprise.

  2. Extract questions

    the AI finds every question, requirement and form field and lists them with their section numbers.

  3. Draft answers

    each question gets a first answer built from your content library, with the source block shown next to it.

  4. Assign and review

    send questions to subject experts, track who has answered, and approve each answer.

  5. Assemble and send

    the approved answers become a formatted response with cover letter, executive summary and pricing.

Question extraction that keeps the RFP structure

RFPs bury questions in tables, numbered lists and long paragraphs. The importer reads the whole document and pulls out each item with its original number and section, so your answers line up with the buyer's format. Mandatory requirements, scoring criteria and submission instructions are tagged separately, so nothing that disqualifies a response gets missed. You can merge, split or add questions by hand before drafting starts.

Answers drafted from your own content library

The AI does not invent your company's capabilities. It drafts each answer from approved blocks in your proposal content library: company overview, team bios, case write-ups you own, security practices, legal terms and past answers. Next to every draft you see which blocks it used, so a reviewer can check the source in seconds. When an answer is approved, you can save it back to the library, and the next RFP starts from a better base.

  • Drafts cite the library blocks they came from
  • Answers adapt to the wording of each question
  • Approved answers can be saved for reuse
  • Questions with no matching content are flagged for an expert

Assign questions to the right teammates

An RFP is a team job. Assign each question or a whole section to a teammate, set a due date and see progress on one board: unassigned, drafted, in review, approved. Experts answer inside the app rather than in scattered email threads, and comments stay on the question. The bid manager sees at a glance which answers still block submission.

Security questionnaires and due diligence forms

Security and vendor questionnaires work the same way as RFPs. Import the spreadsheet or document, let the AI draft answers from your security and policy blocks, and route the hard questions to your IT lead. Over time your library holds a reviewed answer for most standard questions, so the next questionnaire is mostly review rather than writing.

What RFP management software changes for a bid team

  • Less copying between old responses, because answers come from one reviewed library.
  • Fewer missed requirements, because extraction lists every item with its number.
  • Clear ownership, because each question has an assignee and a status.
  • A consistent voice across sections written by different people, because the AI follows your brand style.
  • One place to see every response you have sent and what the buyer opened.

Frequently asked questions about RFP software

Which file types can we import?

RFPs and questionnaires import as PDF or DOCX. Scanned pages need a readable text layer for the best extraction.

How long can an RFP be?

Business imports up to 60 pages per RFP and Enterprise up to 200 pages per RFP. Longer documents can be split into parts and imported separately.

Does the AI make up answers we cannot support?

The AI drafts answers from the blocks in your content library and shows which blocks it used. When the library has nothing relevant, the question is flagged for an expert instead of filled with guesses.

Can several people work on one RFP at once?

Yes. Assign questions or sections to teammates, set due dates and follow each answer from draft to approval on one board.

Does an RFP count as one AI draft?

One RFP response counts as one AI draft. Individual answer rewrites count toward your monthly rewrite allowance, which is 500 on Business and 1,500 on Enterprise.
