🎶 Chicago brought the rhythm. Responsive brought the moves. 🎶 Last week, Summit on tour rolled into the Windy City! We heard from powerhouse voices at Capital One, EXL, Tenable, NTT DATA, and Carelon, and together, we explored how AI is reshaping the proposal function and helping teams democratize organizational knowledge to drive faster growth. 💪 Because here’s the truth: We have the power to activate our organizations’ most current, compelling, customer-facing knowledge and turn it into true momentum that accelerates growth. Here are our key takeaways from the Chicago stop of Summit on tour: 🤘 Knowledge hoarding slows growth. Sharing accelerates it. 🤘 AI isn’t replacing leaders. It’s amplifying their impact. 🤘 Proposals aren’t static docs anymore. They’re living, intelligent assets. 🤘 Measure what matters: win rates, pipeline impact, and time saved. 🤘 Democratized knowledge = consistent voice, faster cycles, smarter growth A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in Chicago and made the day electric! 👀 Coming up: the Responsive Summit25 on October 23. Don’t miss this completely virtual and free event - it’s your chance to be part of the future of proposals! Registration link in the comments.

200-question RFPs. Dozens of SMEs. A rapidly approaching deadline. Never-ending workdays. Sound familiar? That’s why we built Responsive AI. It’s not just “AI for proposals.” It’s trusted, cited intelligence for your entire response lifecycle. Why do hundreds of teams rely on Responsive AI? → Upload any RFx and instantly see requirements mapped out → Generate a complete first draft in your voice, with source citations → Use TRACE Score™ to know what’s strong, what’s shaky, and what needs fixing before you hit send → Tighten responses with Quality Check and auto-generate an executive summary → Build no-code agents in Agent Studio to automate the grunt work unique to your business The payoff? Fewer late nights, faster submissions, and proposals you can stand behind with confidence. Check the links in the comments for more.

⚡ Bay Area, you brought the energy to Responsive Summit on tour! ⚡ We kicked off the tour last week in Santa Clara with an incredible group of proposal leaders, joined by powerhouse speakers from Microsoft, Pure Storage, and Autodesk. The big theme: helping teams democratize organizational knowledge to drive faster growth. Because let’s face it - knowledge in silos slows deals down. But when every team can tap into the organization’s most current, compelling, customer-facing knowledge, we don’t just move faster. We win bigger. Our key takeaways from the event: 💰 Proposal and sales teams are sitting on a gold mine of knowledge and it’s time to activate it. 🤝 AI is cutting response times in half, but the real impact is trust, accuracy, and insights that shape winning strategy. 👩💼 The proposal function is no longer “back office.” It’s a strategic driver of pipeline, growth, and customer impact. Huge thank you to everyone who joined us and help made the first stop unforgettable. 📍 Next stop: Chicago, September 18. If you’re ready to see how knowledge democratization + AI can transform your revenue engine, we’ll see you in Chi-town. 👉 Save your spot: https://lnkd.in/gGATv4eH
