Steerlab does not try to impress you. It gives you answers with sources and if it does not have one it says so and stops. No extra information, no guesses that sound confident. For proposal work. Where a wrong answer does not just look bad it can cost you the bid. That kind of approach is exactly what you need from an AI tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now, there’s no way to export responses into a presentation. After a bid, every summary deck still has to be created from scratch, which feels like an unnecessary extra step when all of that content is already in the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve used enough proposal tools to know that a clean interface is never a given. With Steerlab, everything is simply where you’d expect it to be—no wandering through settings, and no decoding terminology that only makes sense to whoever built the tool. We had someone new join mid-bid recently, and they were contributing the same day without anyone having to sit with them. No guide, no walkthrough, nothing.

When you’re managing deadlines and coordinating a full team, that kind of frictionless onboarding isn’t just a nice-to-have; it genuinely saves you hours. It’s also one of those benefits you don’t fully appreciate until you’ve dealt with the alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Chrome extension works well across most portals, but there’s one regional platform we use that still isn’t supported. It’s not a dealbreaker—the team has confirmed it’s on the roadmap—but for now it does mean the occasional manual workaround in the meantime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Assigning sections, tracking who’s done what, leaving feedback, and signing off on answers it all lives in the same place. The days of attaching Word docs to emails and crossing your fingers that nobody saves over the wrong version are completely behind us. Now the whole team works from one shared view, and everyone always knows exactly where things stand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slide generation isn’t quite there yet. After a submission, we usually put together a briefing deck for internal stakeholders, and for now that’s still a manual task. Given how much structured content already exists inside Steerlab by that point, an export-to-slides feature would feel like a natural and genuinely useful addition.

Excel support was genuinely the deciding factor for us. We had around 500 question files with the kind of formatting that makes most tools give up merged cells, nested tabs, and inconsistent structures. Every other platform we tested either choked on them or mangled the output. Steerlab handled them without complaint and came out the other side with clean results. That alone justified the switch for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slack’s approval workflow exists, but right now it feels fairly surface-level. For simple, straightforward sign-offs it gets the job done, but anything with more nuance still ends up pulling me back into the main app. Adding more depth here would make a real difference and meaningfully cut down on the context switching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every approved answer feeds straight back into the content library automatically, and anything that’s gone stale gets flagged before it turns into a problem. Since we started, I haven’t had to touch the library manually even once, and yet the quality of the answers has only improved over time. It basically maintains itself, which might sound simple, but it’s genuinely rare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A handful of very specific word-formatting edge cases still need a light touch after export. It’s minor and doesn’t come up often, but it’s worth knowing. The latest release is apparently meant to address this, although I haven’t had the chance to verify it firsthand yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I went in with low expectations, because day-one new tools rarely hit the ground running. But by mid-morning we had our data sources connected, and before the afternoon was out we already had a real, working draft in front of us. There was no IT involvement, no phased setup, and no sitting around waiting for access to be provisioned. That kind of immediacy matters more than people give it credit for. When active bids are on the line, every day spent onboarding is a day your competitors aren’t standing still. Steerlab just removes that gap completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Slack alerts are timely and genuinely useful, but the handoff still means I have to jump back into the main app to finish an approval. It’s a small point of friction in what is otherwise a smooth, fluid process, and being able to close that loop entirely within Slack would be a truly helpful upgrade.

Every suggested answer traces back to a specific paragraph in the source document not just a vague reference, the exact passage. And when it can't find a strong match, it tells you that too. That kind of honesty is rare in AI tooling, and it's precisely why we feel confident using it for regulated submissions where every answer has to be defensible.

The Chrome extension doesn't yet cover a couple of the smaller procurement platforms we occasionally work with. Coverage is solid overall - this is a minor gap, not a dealbreaker, but it's worth knowing going in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using Steerlab for about 6 months, and it has significantly improved our team handles RFPs and security questionnaires. The AI assisted response generation is very effective, especially when working with repetitive questions. It can generate a large portion of answer using existing content, which saves our team a lot of time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the AI is helpful, some responses still need manual review to ensure accuracy, especially in highly technical or customized sections. There’s a slight learning curve when you first set up the content library and workflows, but it gets easier to manage over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Fast development based on feedback

- Tracking of answers (review, non reviewed)

- Confidence level of answer (general idea) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- it happens that the answers are based on replies from other RfPs where the questions where a bit different, thus, the answer in steerlab goes down a road which is not the right one

- Confidence level seems to be based on length of answer

- the whole "RfP" needs to be "Reviewed" so the answers go back into the pool. However, I / we work a bit different. Thus, many RfP projects are not finalized in steerlab. IT would be helpful, that projects which are not finalized within a certain time period, will pop up with the user by asking "if the project is done" and the answers are going into the knowledge hub Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We spent 2 years on Loopio before making the switch to Steerlab. The AI is noticeably better, Excel handling isn't even a comparison, and the interface is clean enough that the team picked it up faster than we anticipated. When a migration goes that smoothly, you know you made the right call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Slack integration works well for notifications, but the in Slack approval workflow feels like it has more room to grow. It gets your partway there just not all the way yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
