Early access — in development

Issue, answer, and grade RFPs in one place.

Issuers create, distribute, and grade RFPs, RFIs, and questionnaires with standardized comparison. Responders draft answers with supervised AI that shows its sources. We’re building it now — join early and shape it.

All in one platform

The experience is smoothest when RFPs are built, exchanged, and graded end-to-end on RFPBench.

When both sides work in one place, nothing gets lost in email threads or version-mismatched spreadsheets. Whether it’s an RFP, an RFI, or a security questionnaire, issuers create and grade, responders draft and submit, and every question, answer, and revision stays connected on a single shared record.

01

Built together

RFPs created and structured in one shared workspace.

02

Exchanged live

Issued, answered, and clarified in real time.

03

Graded in place

Compared and scored on one shared record.

Which side are you on?

For issuers

I issue RFPs

Create an RFP, RFI, or questionnaire from scratch, from a document, or with AI. Send it to your vendor list, track who has opened and submitted, and compare responses side by side with automated scoring support — instead of juggling replies across email and spreadsheets.

For responders

I respond to RFPs

Turn your past RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires into a searchable knowledge base. AI drafts answers from your own approved content — with a confidence level and sources on every draft — and your team reviews and finalizes each one.

How it works

Issue an RFP in three steps

01

Create

Build your RFP from scratch with drag-and-drop question types, import an existing draft, or describe what you need and let AI draft the structure. You keep full control — add, change, or remove any question, and preview exactly what respondents will see.

02

Distribute

Add supporting context for vendors, build your recipient list, and send. Recipients who aren’t on RFPBench get an invitation to sign up and complete your RFP inside the platform.

03

Grade and compare

Responses come back in one unified format. Track who has opened, worked on, and submitted. Review submissions side by side, with automated scoring support to surface the strongest ones faster.

Answer an RFP in three steps

01

Ingest

Upload past RFP answers and reference documents — policies, terms of service, background material. Everything becomes a searchable knowledge base, with every Q&A pair traceable to its source file and section.

02

Draft

Upload the incoming RFP — Excel, Word, or Google Docs. RFPBench maps the structure, breaks it into questions, and drafts answers from your knowledge base. Every draft carries its sources and a confidence level.

03

Review and submit

Approve, edit, or remove each answer. Flag anything that needs another set of eyes and assign it to a colleague — it must be resolved before export. People finalize every answer. Then submit.

Trust and control

AI you can put in front of an auditor

Follow one answer through the workflow. Approve it, edit it — or flag it, and watch the export gate close.

Nothing goes out without a human decision behind it. Try it — approve, edit, or flag the draft.

Drafts, not decisions.

AI accelerates the drafting; your team approves and finalizes every answer. Nothing goes out without a human decision behind it.

Sources on everything.

Every answer shows exactly where it came from — the source file, the section, the original Q&A pair.

No made-up answers.

When your knowledge base doesn’t contain a reliable answer, RFPBench says so plainly instead of inventing one. That behavior is deliberate.

Your data stays yours.

Each company’s documents and answers live in its own workspace, in a tenant-specific knowledge base. Designed for the review, approval, and audit requirements of compliance-conscious teams.

Supported formats

Works with the RFPs you actually receive

RFPs arrive as Excel sheets, Word documents, and Google Docs. RFPBench ingests each one and breaks it into questions. For spreadsheets, it reads the structure and maps which columns hold questions, answers, and references — it picks sensible defaults, and you can adjust the mapping before you confirm.

Early access

We’re building RFPBench now

RFPBench is in active development, and the teams that join early will shape it. Founding users get access ahead of general availability, a direct line to the team building the product, and a real say in what we build next.

In return, we ask for one thing: tell us how your RFP process actually works, and where it hurts.
