We have two ways to write an RFI response: manual or AI-draft. Both get you to the same document editor, the only difference is who writes the initial draft, you or the AI.

AI Draft

To utilize the artificial intelligence in the initial draft generation, the platform will need three key pieces of input:

  1. A document title. The document title should be whatever you intend to name the document, if the government tells you what to name it then you can put that name.

  2. A document description. The government typically give us a good description of what they are requestion information about, just copy-paste it here. This description section provides the artificial intelligence with the context and semantics of what you need to write.

  3. A document template or outline. Again, for RFI’s the government typically stipulates what questions they want you to answer here, just copy and paste them directly into the Document Template block.

Then simply hit “create”.

Manual Draft

The manual process gives the human a little more direct control and bypasses the AI generation.

  1. Uncheck the “Auto Create Draft” toggle, this will skip the AI generation step and take you straight into the document editor.

  2. Name your document.

  3. Hit “Create”.

The result will be a blank document. Here you can simply paste in the response format provided by the government and start using the power writing tools to draft out your response. A pro tip is to use the @ symbol to call up your data shelf documents that are most relevant to the RFI response tell the AI to simply write responses to each of the RFI items and the AI will index the specific documents you called up - no more document mining!.

Below is a quick walkthrough video for both approaches:
