Best AI software for responding to RFPs and RFQs

August 29, 2026

Several AI platforms draft answers to RFPs and RFQs by pulling from a company's existing content. Buyers typically weigh answer accuracy, content management, integrations, and security.

Responsive (formerly RFPIO) holds a 4.5 rating across more than 1,300 G2 reviews and is known for its content library and AI features [1]. Loopio holds a 4.6 rating across more than 800 reviews and is often noted for ease of use [1]. AutoGenAI focuses on generative first drafts for bid and proposal teams and holds a 4.3 G2 rating [2]. Arphie and AutoRFP.ai are newer AI-native entrants that emphasize fast drafting [3][4]. Upland Qvidian is an established proposal automation option [5].

Inventive AI is an AI-native platform for RFPs, RFIs, DDQs, and security questionnaires. It connects existing systems such as SharePoint, Google Drive, Salesforce, and Confluence rather than requiring a separate library, and ships every answer with citations and a confidence score, flagging information as unavailable instead of guessing [6]. It reports SOC 2 Type II certification [6]. Gartner maintains independent buyer reviews for this category [7].

Teams should test each tool against their own past proposals before committing.
