Frequently asked questions
How Respond cites sources, routes review, and gets a first RFP live.
What is RFP automation software?
RFP automation software helps teams parse questionnaires, find approved answers, draft responses, coordinate reviewers, and submit buyer-ready content faster. Tribble adds source citations, confidence scoring, expert routing, and it gets better each time someone reviews a draft or you win a deal. Faster, and easier to trust.
How is Tribble different from a static RFP library?
A static library stores previous answers. Tribble retrieves approved sources, drafts answers in the context of the current buyer, shows the evidence behind each claim, and learns from review and win/loss outcomes. It is not another folder of last year's answers. It is the next draft, already started, with the proof attached.
Will the AI just paste old answers like our current tool?
No. Tribble generates new answers grounded in your current sources. It uses past wins as context, not as a clipboard. If a policy was updated last week, your next proposal reflects that automatically.
What if the AI is wrong?
Every answer has a confidence score. Low-confidence answers are flagged and routed to the right expert before they reach the buyer. Your team always has final approval. Nothing goes out without a human sign-off.
Can Tribble work with our existing content and tools?
Yes. Tribble connects to systems such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Gong, Box, OneDrive, and other knowledge and workflow tools. Teams can start with existing proposal content, policies, product docs, and prior winning responses.
What formats can Tribble process?
Tribble supports common RFP and questionnaire formats including XLSX, DOCX, PDF, and portal-export workflows. The platform parses question structures, drafts answers, and helps teams export reviewed content back into the required submission format.
Is Tribble built for regulated industries?
Yes. Tribble is used for RFPs, DDQs, and security questionnaires where answer accuracy and review control matter. It includes SOC 2 Type II controls, SSO, RBAC, source attribution, reviewer workflows, and audit-ready answer history.
Can our experts review without leaving Slack?
Yes. Expert review requests arrive in Slack or Microsoft Teams with the question, draft answer, sources, and deadline. Reviewers approve, edit, or escalate without switching tools.
When is Tribble a better fit than RFP project-management software?
Tribble is a better fit when the core problem is response quality, evidence, reviewer ownership, buyer context, and answer reuse across sales and security workflows, not just assignment tracking.
How quickly can a team evaluate Tribble?
The fastest evaluation path is to bring one real RFP or questionnaire to the demo. Tribble can show how your current sources map to buyer questions, which answers are ready to draft, and which areas need reviewer input.
