How AI is used
VisibleThread is an RFP platform designed to help organizations find, qualify, and respond to requests for proposals. The software is designed to reduce manual work in the proposal process, such as the creation of compliance matrices and the identification of changes in contract amendments.
It is intended for businesses in regulated sectors, including defense, aerospace, healthcare, and government contracting. The tool supports various deployment models, including public cloud, US GovCloud, private cloud, and on-premises options for SCIFs and air-gapped environments.
Users can use AI to generate content based on their own past performance data and use analysis tools to check for acronyms or passive voice to assist with readability. Buyers should confirm which deployment model fits their specific security requirements.
The platform integrates with Microsoft Word and SharePoint to centralize content libraries and allow writers to score documents within their editing environment.
