Triage Inbound RFP Emails and Reply with a Cited Draft

When an RFP arrives by email, an agent extracts the questions, drafts cited answers from your knowledge library, and sends the reviewer a ready-to-edit draft reply.

What it does

Catches RFPs that come in as email rather than portals or spreadsheets. The agent reads the inbound message and attachments, pulls out the distinct questions, drafts an answer for each from your curated Confluence library with citations, and prepares a draft reply for a human to review and send.

When to use it

Use it when prospects email RFPs or due-diligence questions to a shared inbox and you want a first-pass cited draft waiting before anyone opens the thread, without auto-sending unreviewed answers to a buyer.

How it works

  1. 1A new email in the monitored Gmail RFP inbox triggers the run.
  2. 2The agent parses the body and attachments to extract individual questions.
  3. 3For each question it retrieves matching approved answers from the Confluence library.
  4. 4A relevance check discards weak matches so the draft never cites an off-topic page.
  5. 5OpenAI assembles a single cohesive reply covering all questions with inline citations.
  6. 6The agent creates a Gmail draft reply on the original thread for a human to review and send.
