RFP & DDQ Response Agent

AI Agent Overview / Problem Definition

Upsonic helps sales, security, legal, finance, and product teams complete RFPs, security questionnaires, and due diligence questionnaires using approved institutional knowledge.

The Agent parses incoming RFP and DDQ files, categorizes each question, retrieves relevant information from current internal documents and previously approved responses, and prepares source-backed draft answers.

Instead of coordinating responses across multiple teams through email and repeatedly recreating answers from old documents, the Agent centralizes the process, routes unresolved questions to the right subject matter experts, and turns validated responses into reusable institutional knowledge.

Capabilities

Question Extraction & Classification:
Parses RFP, security questionnaire, and DDQ files and automatically categorizes questions by areas such as security, legal, compliance, finance, product, infrastructure, and operations.

Approved Knowledge Retrieval:
Uses current institutional documents and previously approved answers to generate draft responses for each question.

Source-Linked Answer Generation:
Links every proposed response to the documents or previously validated answers used as evidence.

Exception & Owner Routing:
Flags questions where sufficient evidence cannot be found and automatically assigns them to the relevant internal expert or department.

Reusable Answer Library:
Stores human-approved answers in a structured institutional response library.

Original Format Export:
Writes completed responses back into the original Excel, Word, or questionnaire format while preserving structure.

Case Study

Traditional Workflow

Incoming questionnaires are distributed across sales, security, legal, finance, product, and other teams by email. Each team searches previous questionnaires, policy documents, security documentation, contracts, product materials, or old email responses.

Different employees may use different versions of information, and validated responses often remain trapped in individual files rather than becoming reusable knowledge.
