About RAD-AI

RAD AI, the first company to apply generative AI to radiology reporting, experienced rapid growth and a surge in enterprise RFPs. Each RFP demanded precise, technically complex responses — often exceeding 180 questions across product, security, and IT domains.

With hospital deals on the line, speed and accuracy were critical. Inaccurate answers could lead to costly implementation risks, while slow turnaround could mean losing competitive opportunities.

Challenges (Before Inventive AI): 

With their expansion came a surge in RFPs and security questionnaires.

  • The team, led by Andrew MacLean (Sales Enablement Lead) and Jason Campbell (Senior Sales Engineer), was relatively new and lean.
  • Traditional RFP responses meant digging through old spreadsheets, outdated documents, and scattered knowledge a slow, manual process that risked inconsistent or incomplete answers.
  • Competing against large incumbents meant every answer had to be precise, compelling, and sales-ready, without hallucinations or guesswork.
“If we’d been here for three or four years, we could answer off the top of our head. But as new hires, we were hunting down answers for every RFP.” – Jason Campbell, RAD AI

The Evaluation

RAD AI ran one of the most detailed RFP AI evaluations we’ve seen. Four vendors—Inventive AI, Tribble AI, AutoRFP, and Responsive (formerly RFPIO)—were tested in a structured process led by Andrew, an engineer by background.

  • Same Data: Each vendor received the exact same brochures, past RFPs, and website content to keep the test fair.
  • Same Questions: A 100-question set covering product features, security, and IT workflows was given to all.
  • Quality as the Primary Metric: Features mattered, but answer accuracy and readiness were valued 100× more, making them the key factor in the final decision.

Solution: Why Inventive AI Won By a Wide Margin

After a rigorous 100-question, triple-blind evaluation, Inventive AI stood out as the clear leader. Compared to other vendors, Inventive consistently delivered more accurate, sales-ready answers, stronger collaboration features, and faster product improvements.

Conflict resolution Flags conflicts and lets users retire outdated docs Absent
No hallucinations Returns “not enough info” when data is thin Invents features/claims
Onboarding and support Product fixes landed the next day during pilot Weeks-long cycles

‍

“Inventive AI produced the best-quality answers out of every tool we evaluated, noting but 2x more client-ready answers than the next-best vendor.” said Jason Campbell, Senior Sales Engineer at RAD AI

The Wow Moments

  • Accuracy that matched human-written responses while adding the “why it matters” context that wins deals.

  • Responsiveness from the Inventive AI team, with suggested features and fixes implemented overnight during the trial.

    Instead of long, manual hunts through outdated spreadsheets and documents, the team now works from a single, accurate source of truth—powered by AI that delivers answers in their own sales voice.

    Key benefits include:

    • Faster turnaround times – RFP responses that once took days can now be completed in a fraction of the time, without sacrificing quality.
    • Stronger team collaboration – Multiple team members can work on the same project with full visibility into edits, comments, and assignments, reducing bottlenecks.
    • Centralized, always-current knowledge base – RFP-ready content is stored, organized, and easy to update, ensuring the latest information is always at hand.
    • Value beyond RFPs – The same knowledge repository supports sales Q&A, competitive differentiation, and on-demand document generation, extending ROI across the organization.
    “The right tool can make RFPs exciting instead of painful and Inventive AI has done exactly that.” – Jason Campbell, Senior Sales Engineer, RAD AI

    Advice from RAD AI to Other Buyers

    • Run a pilot with multiple vendors. Feed them the same core data and compare answers side-by-side.
    • Ignore the fluff. Judge tools on first-pass answer quality, how close it is to ready-to-send without rewrites.
    • Prioritize accuracy over volume. A smaller number of perfect answers beats a large set of generic ones.

    Conclusion

    For RAD AI, Inventive AI didn’t just improve RFP responses it set a new standard for answer quality, speed, and collaboration. The result is a leaner, faster process that gives their team confidence to compete and win against the industry’s biggest players.
