I built a vertical SaaS for architecture firms to manage RFP responses. Looking for feedback
Been building this for the past year. It's an AI-powered RFP response platform built specifically for architecture, engineering, and construction firm.
The AEC industry still runs proposals on Word docs, shared drives, and one senior person's memory. Firms spend 25-35 hours per RFP, win about 44% of submissions, and rewrite 60-70% identical content from scratch every time. Tools like Loopio and Responsive exist but they're built for enterprise IT/sales teams responding to security questionnaires. Nobody has built something that understands project sheets, subconsultant teams, evaluation criteria, or how a 15-person architecture studio actually works.
What it does:
- RFP discovery from procurement sites (scraped and parsed automatically)
- AI extracts reusable answers from uploaded past proposals into a searchable library
- AI drafts new responses using the firm's own writing style and project history
- Structured go/no-go analysis before committing resources
- Submission review that scores proposals against evaluation criteria
- AI chat with full access to the firm's knowledge base (answers, projects, partners, pipeline)
Where I'm at: Closed beta, a handful of firms testing it. Looking for more architecture and engineering firms (5-50 people) to use it for 4 months free in exchange for feedback!
