Overview

Product Information on Inventive

Updated 5th May 2026

What is Inventive?

Inventive AI is an AI RFP software that automates the completion of RFPs, RFIs, due diligence questionnaires (DDQs), and security questionnaires. It generates human-like responses tailored to each project by contextualizing answers to the specific question, buyer, and deal, and personalizing them using prior responses, product documentation, and SME-approved content. The platform flags conflicting information across sources to maintain accuracy and keep the knowledge base current. Inventive AI supports both Excel-based questionnaire responses and narrative proposal generation, and integrates with SharePoint, Google Drive, Confluence, and Notion for centralized knowledge management.

Inventive Pricing

Inventive AI uses a usage-based subscription pricing model. Pricing is based on the volume of RFPs, RFIs, DDQs, and security questionnaires processed, with annual contracts. There are no per-user fees and no feature tiers all customers have access to the full product, including AI Agent capabilites, integrations, and SSO.

“Significant time savings and accuracy improvements for RFP responses”

5.0
Jun 10, 2026
Incentive AI has honestly become a core part of how we handle RFPs and security questionnaires. We're getting through way more opportunities without adding people, and the time it takes to finish a response has dropped a lot. It helps us save around 80% of our time. The thing that has really won us over is the quality of what the AI puts out. The responses are accurate, they match our existing content, and we're editing them rather than re-writing them from scratch. Getting set up was painless, the team picked it up fast, and whenever we've had questions, support has been right there.

    Validating security compliance through evidence based AI

    Jan 5, 2026
    Our priority was ensuring that any AI tool we used didn't expose our proprietary data or make unvetted security claims. Inventive AI is SOC 2 Type II compliant and provides a secure environment where our data is not used for public model training.

    Increasing response capacity without headcount expansion

    Jan 3, 2026
    Our primary challenge was the bottleneck created by complex RFPs, which often forced us to be selective about which deals to pursue. We implemented inventive AI to automate the initial drafting phase to improve our "speed-to-lead" for large contracts.

    Managing a massive library of Q&A pairs was becoming unsustainable as our product evolved. We use the AI Content Manager to proactively identify stale or conflicting entries in our repository before they end up in a final proposal.

Performance of Inventive Across Market Features

Inventive Likes & Dislikes

Like

For us it comes down to two things: the end-to-end workflow and the response quality. Inventive handles the whole RFP process in one place intake, drafting, reviews, final exports so we are not bouncing between tools anymore to get a response out the door. The AI answers are consistently solid, with citations and real alignment to the content we've already approved. Stuff like response analysis and conflict detection catches gaps, inconsistencies, and outdated info before anything gets submitted. And the UI just looks modern and easy to figure out, which made a big difference in getting the whole team on board.

Like

Inventive stands out because it is truly AI-native. Unlike legacy RFP tools with AI layered on top, Inventive deeply understands context across documents and generates high-quality, relevant responses. It feel like it was designed specifically for RFPs from day one, which shows in both accuracy and ease of use.

Like

The confidence scoring feature allows our team to quickly identify which AI generated answers have strong internal documentation backing them. If the info is not in our library, the tool flags the gap rather than guessing, which is essential for legal risk mitigation.

Dislike

The analytics and reporting could go deeper. We'd love better visibility into things like response quality trends, who's editing what, and win/loss analysis tied to specific RFPs. Beyond that, honestly not much to complain.

Dislike

There is very little to dislike. If anything, more advanced analytics and reporting would be a valuable next step as the product continues to mature.

Dislike

We would benefit from more granular permission levels when we need to grant temporary access to external auditors.
