Every question drafted from your past answers, every gap flagged early. ## At a glance - **You share:** The RFP, tender or questionnaire and its deadline - **The breakdown:** Every question, requirement and deadline in one list - **Draft answers:** Built from your past bids, policies and product documents, each citing its source - **Gaps and risks:** Questions with no good source and requirements you may not meet are flagged - **Who owes what:** Expert questions assigned to a named person, with reminders - **Sign-off:** A named person signs off every response; it never claims a certification you do not hold ## What the RFP & Tender Responder does - **Breaks down the request:** It reads the RFP, tender or questionnaire and lists every question, requirement and deadline. - **Drafts from your past answers:** Each question gets a draft built from previous bids, policies and product documents. - **Cites every source:** Every draft answer shows where it came from, so reviewers can check it in seconds. - **Flags gaps and risks:** Questions with no good source, requirements you may not meet and documents you still need are flagged clearly. - **Tracks who owes what:** Questions that need an expert are assigned, with reminders before the deadline. - **Builds your answer library:** Approved answers are saved and tagged so the next bid starts further ahead. ## How the RFP & Tender Responder differs from copying last year's bid Copying last year's bid carries old answers forward without anyone checking them. The RFP & Tender Responder breaks each request into questions, drafts every answer from your approved sources and cites where it came from, so reviewers check the source rather than a guess. Gaps and requirements you may not meet are flagged on day one. A named person signs off the full response before your team submits it. How this differs from the Sales agent (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-sales-agent): To build a proposal or deck for a deal, use the Sales agent; the RFP & Tender Responder fills in each tender questionnaire from your past answers. ## How it works 1. **Upload the request** (As soon as a request arrives): You share the RFP, tender or questionnaire and its deadline. 2. **Get the breakdown** (Right after upload): It lists every question and requirement and drafts answers from your sources. 3. **Fill the gaps** (Before the deadline): Your experts answer the flagged questions and supply missing documents. 4. **Review and sign off** (you approve) (Before submission): A named person reviews the full response and signs it off before submission. 5. **Submit and save** (Once the bid is in): Your team submits, and the approved answers go into your library. ## When to use it - **A big tender lands with a short deadline:** You get a full breakdown and first drafts on day one. - **A customer sends a long security questionnaire:** Answers are drafted from your security policies, with gaps marked for your team. - **Different people answered the same question differently last year:** The library keeps one approved answer to reuse. - **You are not sure you meet a requirement:** It flags the requirement instead of claiming you do. - **Your team wants to bid more often:** Each response reuses more of the last, so bids take less time. ## What you get - A breakdown of every question, requirement and deadline - Draft answers with the source for each - A list of gaps, risks and missing documents - Assignments and reminders for open questions - A library of approved answers for future bids ## Example: RFP and security questionnaire response pack Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: Draft our answers to Buyer A's RFP and security questionnaire from our past answers and documents, and show us what we still need to fill in before the deadline on 23 October. This is an illustrative example of the response pack RFP & Tender Responder is being built to produce: drafted answers with sources, a certifications check and a gap list with a sign-off path. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented company and an invented buyer, with invented questions and figures. No real tender, document, system or person was involved, and nothing was submitted or sent. Run date: 15 October 2026. ### What it found - 170 of 186 questions now have draft answers: 141 from answers the company already approved and 29 from its own policies and product documents. - Buyer A asks about seven certifications and tests; four are held, one is in progress, and two are flagged 'not held: do not claim'. - 16 gaps have no approved source and were left blank, each with an owner and a due date that leaves sign-off on Wednesday 21 October. ## Guardrails - Your Ai1 team will tell you when the RFP & Tender Responder is ready for your account. - It never claims a certification, standard or capability you do not hold. If the sources do not show it, the question is flagged. - A named person signs off every response before it is submitted. - Answers are drawn only from your documents and approved past answers, and each one cites its source. - Questions that need an expert go to a named person, never guessed. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do you answer security questionnaires faster? Keep a library of approved answers with their evidence, and reuse it for each new questionnaire. The RFP & Tender Responder drafts from that library and your documents, and marks every question that needs a fresh answer from your team. ### Why keep a library of approved answers for tenders and RFPs? Because the same questions come back in bid after bid, and different people tend to answer them differently. The RFP & Tender Responder saves and tags each approved answer, so your next tender starts further ahead with one agreed answer to reuse. Anything new or unsupported is still flagged for your team. ### What does AI RFP response actually do? It turns a long request into a list of questions, drafts answers from your past bids and documents, and tracks what is left. The RFP & Tender Responder also cites the source of every answer and flags the gaps. ### Can it answer security questionnaires? Yes. It drafts from your security policies and past answers, and marks any question where your sources do not support a clear answer. ### Will it say we meet requirements we do not? No. If your documents do not show it, the question is flagged for your team instead of answered. ### Who submits the response? Your team does, after a named person signs off the full response. ### Is the RFP & Tender Responder available now? Not yet.
