We have created a data source for all of our product, support, and technical details and responsive can use AI to generate answers for questions based on the data input. You can even add to the prompt, so the tool will take your guidance and blend it with the source information. This really saves so much time - it's a great app. ### 15.

The Q&A pairs are invaluable for our RFP answering process. **What do you dislike about Responsive, formerly RFPIO?** Some features for the sections are confusing and not helpful for us.

To be able to have something that scrapes your data and comes up with responses from all the QA is great. Sometimes answers and questions aren't the same as what a customer puts in and rfp but the AI solves that challenge. **What do you dislike about Responsive, formerly RFPIO?** There are lots of features that need to be enabled on the backend by the company that a lot of people don't even know about to make things work.

Ease of Use and Great Customer Support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sunnie H. | Senior Manager, Proposals Global, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2024 **What do you like best about Responsive, formerly RFPIO?** The ease of adding to the content library and updating content is amazing. We also found it very easy to create templates within the system and build our own custom templates into the platform to create branded documents for each proposal. We also recently had to merge two platforms due to an acquisition and the professional services team was amazing. Extremely helpful and organized; making it a much easier process then expected. **What do you dislike about Responsive, formerly RFPIO?** We cannot format the Q&A so it directly matches the fonts that we use in our templates. This means eveything we bring in as a cut & paste from the library - has to be formatted again once it is in the proposal. **What problems is Responsive, formerly RFPIO solving and how is that benefiting you?** It heps us to have one source for all content; making us more confident that what is going out the door is correct. It also saves time on RFP responses as we don't have to reach out to as many business units for content; there content is already in the library. ### 47.

They are always quick to respond, provide solutions or work on product enhancements to continually address the needs of clients. **What do you dislike about Responsive, formerly RFPIO?** Requirements Analysis is the least utilized for our company currently. It would be beneficial to be able to prompt the tool to shred a document using specific prompts, and ask to sumarize in a specific word count. Much like CoPilot. I.e Sumarize Scope of work, deliverables, experience in 300 words. **What problems is Responsive, formerly RFPIO solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1.) Improved proposal workflow - email reminders, tasks 2.) Content Library - ease of finding content 3.) Creating presentations from templates in PowerPoint using LookUp. We are already seeing time saved on proposals, start to finish. 4.) AI Assistant and ASK- helps to quickly pull valuable content within Projects, MS word, emails and more! 5.) The tool is allowing the team to collaborate more efficiently better instead of sending emails back and forth all day. It allows us to collaborate in one centralized place. ### 50.
