Generative AI disrupts sales execs' RFP work.
Transform your RFP process with generative AI, boosting productivity and efficiency as top companies like Twilio and Google lead the way.

Generative AI is disrupting the corporate chore of responding to request for proposals (RFPs). Companies like Twilio are using generative AI tools to quickly generate suitable responses to RFPs, saving time and increasing productivity. The AI-generated responses are reviewed and edited by human staff before being sent to clients. This development is seen as a step towards replacing the RFP process with more efficient alternatives. The use of generative AI in sales teams is expected to increase, with other companies like Google also adopting similar tools.
