Common scenarios
Answering technical requirements
When an RFP has specific technical questions:The RFP asks: “Describe your system’s data encryption standards for data at rest and in transit.” Can you draft a response based on our security documentation?The agent searches your security and compliance indexes, finds the relevant details, and drafts a response you can refine.
Finding compliance and certification information
Does our product have ISO 27001 certification? The RFP requires it. Also, what is our SOC 2 compliance status?
The RFP asks about our disaster recovery capabilities. Can you summarize our DR procedures, including RPO and RTO targets?
Pulling from past proposals
If past RFP responses are indexed, the agent can reference them:We answered a similar question about multi-tenant data isolation in the Acme Corp RFP last quarter. Can you find that response and update it with our latest architecture?

Tips for RFP work
- Specify the tone: “Write this in a formal tone suitable for a government RFP” or “Keep it concise, three sentences maximum”
- Ask for citations: “Include references to our documentation so I can verify each claim”
- Request a specific format: “Format this as a numbered response matching the RFP question numbering”
- Iterate on drafts: “Good start, but emphasize our uptime SLA more and remove the paragraph about legacy support”
Example chat
