RFP.ai

RFP.ai is a trust-first platform that turns an uploaded RFP or security questionnaire into cited, review-ready answers in hours instead of weeks. It extracts the questions, generates source-backed drafts from your own approved content with confidence scores, and routes uncertain answers to the right reviewer. Every answer carries citations, nothing is trained on your data, and the platform is EU-hosted.
