What it does

Takes a structured RFP requirement payload and returns a researched, scored shortlist. The agent gathers candidates, verifies each vendor's claims by reading their actual product and docs pages in a browser, and writes a recommendation-ready brief.

When to use it

Use it when an RFP or requirements doc kicks off a formal evaluation and you need a defensible shortlist fast. Best for teams that run repeatable, criteria-driven buying processes.

How it works

  1. 1An incoming webhook delivers the RFP requirements (must-haves, nice-to-haves, budget).
  2. 2Exa finds candidate vendors and authoritative sources for each requirement area.
  3. 3Browserbase opens each candidate's product and docs pages to verify specific capability claims.
  4. 4OpenAI scores every vendor against the requirements and drafts a recommendation with rationale.
  5. 5The scored shortlist and recommendation are written to a Coda doc for the buying committee.
