An AI that reads the attachments, and shows where every line came from

This page says what the reading does, what it will not do, and what it costs. If you would rather see one first, here is a finished review of a real Army fire alarm solicitation, closed since September, and here is how the reading works, step by step.

What it reads

A document review downloads up to fifteen of a notice’s attachments and reads PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets and archives, up to 150,000 characters of each and 400,000 in all. Scanned pages and pictures are read by an AI model too, and when a date, an amount or a name comes only from a scanned page, the review says so. A larger notice can be read further on a paid plan, up to 30 attachments and 1,000,000 characters, for 2 or 3 reviews, and you see that number before anything is spent.

What comes back

The scope of work, the key requirements, the labor categories, how to submit, how offers are evaluated, eligibility and the set-aside, the risks and red flags, and what to weigh before you bid. The AI is told to use the documents and the notice’s own facts and nothing else: where something is not in the documents, to say so rather than guess; never to invent a requirement, a date or a dollar figure; and to reproduce dates and notice numbers exactly as published.

Rules are not a guarantee, which is why the next three things exist. They let you check the reading rather than trust it.

Every requirement with its sentence

The compliance checklist lists up to forty requirements that decide whether an offer is accepted, the ones that would disqualify you first, each carrying the sentence of the solicitation it came from. Before it reaches you, every quoted sentence is checked against the text of the documents, and a requirement whose sentence cannot be found there is dropped. You assign items to people, tick them off, and on a paid plan export the list as a spreadsheet or a Word document. How to build one by hand, if you want to see what it is doing.

Ask it a question

The bid assistant answers questions about a notice from its review, its checklist or the attachments themselves, and shows the passages each answer rests on, numbered by document. When the documents do not cover something, it says so instead of filling the gap. It also drafts the questions for the contracting officer from the gaps and contradictions the review found, with a short email to send them in.

It tells you what it did not read

Beside every review is a summary of what it read: which attachments in full, which in part, which could not be read, and which it never opened. On a large notice part of the package goes unread, and you should know which part before you rely on the rest.

From the checklist to the proposal

On every paid plan the checklist can be arranged into the sections of a proposal, each section read as the writer: what it must prove, quoted from the solicitation, how it is scored, the limits, and the evidence to reach for, with a Word skeleton that has a placeholder for every answer. The submission package lists the forms, volumes and attachments the solicitation demands, each with its source sentence. On Professional, 5 AI proposal drafts a month write each section from what it must answer and from your own company record, never an invented fact: a note in brackets marks anything only you can supply.

What it will not do

It will not decide whether you bid, promise that an offer is compliant, supply a figure the documents do not give, or submit anything for you. It does not give a percentage chance of winning: win likelihood, on Professional, is a word with its reasons. It can miss something or misread a poor scan, and the solicitation is the authority. Read a requirement in the document before you rely on it, and confirm deadlines on the official notice.

What it costs

A free account has 3 document reviews, with no card. Essential, for one person, is 5 reviews a month at $29.99 a month ($19.99 for the first two months). Professional is 15 a month at $69.99, with the research and the proposal drafts. Premier pools 40 a month across a team of up to 5. A notice’s compliance checklist is part of its review, so the two count once; a Sources Sought draft spends a review of its own, and a bigger notice read further spends 2 or 3. Every number is on the pricing page.

Frequently asked

Does the AI invent requirements?

It is told to use the documents and the notice's own facts and nothing else: to say "not specified in these documents" rather than guess, and never to invent a requirement, a date or a dollar figure. Rules are not a guarantee, so the checklist checks every quoted sentence against the text of the documents and drops any item whose sentence is not there, the assistant shows the passages each answer rests on, and every review says which attachments it read in full, in part or not at all. Read a requirement in the document before you rely on it.

Can it read scanned PDFs?

Yes. Scanned pages and pictures are read by an AI model, and when a date, an amount or a name in the review comes only from a scanned page, the review says so, because a poor scan can be misread.

How much of a solicitation does it read?

Up to fifteen attachments, 150,000 characters of each and 400,000 in all, which covers most notices. A larger notice can be read further on a paid plan, up to 30 attachments and 1,000,000 characters, for 2 or 3 reviews, and the number is shown before anything is spent. Beside every review is a summary of what was read and what was not.

Is my solicitation used to train AI models?

No. Solicitation text and your questions go to the model provider to produce your answer and are not used to train models. The security page lists what is sent for each feature.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. A free account has 3 document reviews, with no card. You can also read finished reviews on this site without an account: every published notice page carries one.
