Writer
From the RFP to a cited first draft.
Drop in the solicitation. Every requirement becomes a checklist item with its page. Writer asks you what the RFP needs answered, drafts each section from your answers and past proposals, cites every claim, and flags anything only you can answer.
What Writer does with an RFP
A compliance checklist, with page numbers
Every requirement in the solicitation becomes a checklist item with the page and section it came from, and the checklist tracks which ones the draft addresses.
Go/no-go first
Writer starts with what decides whether you can bid at all: licenses, certifications, insurance, bonding, forms to sign. A bid/no-bid card shows what you meet and what blocks you.
Questions, not a blank page
It asks for every fact the RFP requires, section by section, checks each answer against the requirement, and asks a follow-up when something is missing.
Never invents a fact
Each section cites your answers and your past proposals. When the RFP asks for something you haven't provided, the draft marks the gap instead of filling it.
Company facts, kept
Answers that hold across RFPs, like years in business or insurance limits, are kept and offered next time, so you confirm them instead of typing them again.
Addenda, applied
Add an addendum and the requirements update: changed ones keep their history, removed ones leave the draft, and new ones get their own questions.

Questions
How much is Writer?
$79 a month ($664 a year), bought on its own, with or without the Finder. It is paid only, with no free trial, and includes 10 new responses every 30 days.
What files can I upload?
PDF, Word (.docx) or plain text, up to 25 MB. The document needs selectable text: scanned images aren't read yet.
Does it write the whole proposal?
It drafts each section when you ask, from your answers and past proposals, with citations. You edit, decide and submit.
Will it make up experience we don't have?
No. Drafts only use what you've told it and your own documents. Anything else becomes a marked gap and a question for you.
What happens when an addendum comes out?
Add it to the response. Changed requirements keep their old wording for reference, removed ones drop out of the draft, and new ones get questions.
