AI RFP Response

AI RFP response agent that drafts answers to a request for proposal (RFP). You set it up on Commt to read your past proposals and product docs from a knowledge base, Google Drive, Google Docs, Notion or Confluence, then write a draft answer for each question your sources cover. Upload the RFP in Conversation, Slack, Microsoft Teams or Telegram. You review the drafts, then send them to Google Docs, Notion or your own system through a webhook or an MCP server you connect.

The problem

Your team has limited people and hours, so some RFPs go unanswered. RFPs need your experts, who already have other work. You end up chasing them for input. Many of the answers you need are in old proposals. The answers are hard to find and need updating. The agent gives your team a first draft to edit instead of a blank page.

How it works

  1. Add past proposals and product docs

    Put them in a knowledge base and attach it to the agent, or connect Google Drive, Google Docs, Notion or Confluence so it reads them where they are.

  2. Give the agent the RFP

    Upload it in Conversation, or share it in Slack, Microsoft Teams or Telegram by mentioning the agent in a channel it is invited to or messaging it directly.

  3. The agent finds what you wrote before

    It looks through your knowledge base and connected tools for related answers.

  4. It drafts each answer

    You get a draft for each question your sources cover.

  5. Review and edit

    A person checks every draft before anything goes to the customer.

  6. Send the drafts where you work

    Ask the agent to send them to Google Docs or Notion, or to your own system through a webhook or an MCP server you connect.

What it uses

What the agent can reach

Knowledge

It drafts from the knowledge bases you attach and the tools you connect. It cannot change any knowledge base.

Tools

It reads RFPs, past proposals and product docs from the connectors you add. In Slack, Microsoft Teams and Telegram it replies when mentioned in a channel it is invited to or when messaged directly. It does not watch channels unprompted. It writes drafts to the destinations you connect: Google Docs, Notion, a webhook or an MCP server. It writes only when you ask. That includes changing an existing document in Google Drive, Google Docs, Notion or Confluence. It does not send the draft to the customer who issued the RFP. A person reviews it first.

Network

Web access is off by default, so the agent reaches only the knowledge bases you attach and the connectors and destinations you add.

Retention

Message text is kept for 30 days, encrypted, to measure answer quality. Keeping conversations longer is your choice.

Questions

What is an RFP response agent?

An RFP response agent helps you answer a request for proposal (RFP). The agent reads your past proposals and product docs in a knowledge base and drafts an answer to each question. A person reviews every draft before it goes live.

What does RFP stand for?

RFP stands for request for proposal. A company sends one to vendors to ask how they would meet a need and at what terms. An RFP response agent drafts the vendor's answers.

Is there an AI RFP response tool that uses my own proposals?

Yes. It is an RFP response tool you set up on Commt. It drafts from the past proposals and product docs in the knowledge base you attach, so the answers follow what you have written before. A person reviews every draft.

Can the agent automate RFP responses?

It automates the first draft of each answer. A person still reviews and edits every draft before it goes to the customer.

What if my past proposals do not cover a question?

The agent drafts from the proposals and product docs you attach or connect, so a gap in your sources is a gap in the draft. Check the draft for questions your documents do not cover and answer those yourself.

Can the agent edit my past proposals?

Not in a knowledge base. An agent cannot modify any knowledge base. In Google Drive, Google Docs, Notion or Confluence it changes an existing document only when you ask it to. Otherwise it reads your past proposals and writes new drafts.

Can I export RFP drafts to Google Docs, Notion or my own system?

Yes. Connect Google Docs or Notion and the agent sends drafts there, where your team can edit them. To keep drafts in your own system or database, connect a webhook that sends them to your API, or connect an MCP server. The agent sends drafts only when you ask.
