By Inventive AI · HQ Mountain View, US · 4.2/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- Enterprise RFP, RFI and security-questionnaire teams that answer dozens of bids a year
- Companies whose approved content is scattered across SharePoint, Google Drive, Notion or Confluence
- Sales enablement, solutions consulting and proposal teams that want AI-first content management instead of manual library upkeep
- Security and compliance reviewers who need every drafted answer traced back to its source document
- Mid-market and enterprise teams that want unlimited users without seat licenses
Ideal size: 5–100 proposal team members people · Mid-market to enterprise with an existing bid or proposal function
Not for
- Small teams responding to only a few RFPs a year, where a shared document and template are enough
- Organizations that require a manually curated, library-first answer repository
- Buyers who need on-premise or self-hosted deployment
- Public-sector buyers who require FedRAMP or CMMC authorizations from their vendors
- Teams that want fully published, self-serve per-seat list pricing before a sales call

Bottom line
Inventive AI is an AI-first RFP and security-questionnaire response platform. Its AI agents draft answers grounded in a company's own knowledge sources (SharePoint, Google Drive, Notion, Confluence, Salesforce), flag conflicting or stale content, and link each answer back to the source document. Vendors report 90% faster responses and 50% higher win rates, with 100% team adoption by week two. Pricing is usage-based with a fixed platform fee and unlimited users; plans start at $10K/year and all features are included.
Frequently asked questions
What does Inventive AI do?
Inventive AI is AI RFP software: AI agents draft proposal, RFI and security-questionnaire responses from a company's own knowledge sources. Teams connect SharePoint, Google Drive, Notion, Confluence, Slack, Salesforce and similar repositories, and the platform generates answers with source links, flags stale or conflicting content, and supports the workflow from intake to export with branded templates. The vendor reports 90% faster response times and roughly 50% higher win rates for customers.
How is Inventive AI priced?
Usage-based. Every plan carries a fixed platform fee that covers setup, onboarding and all features, and customers then pay per RFP and per security questionnaire they work on. Users are unlimited — there are no seat licenses — and unused RFPs roll over month to month and year to year. The published starting point is $10K per year; larger teams can request enterprise pricing. AI capabilities, integrations and product updates are included rather than sold as add-ons.
Does Inventive AI train AI models on our content?
No, per the vendor's security page: Inventive AI states it does not use customer data — whether obtained through Google Workspace APIs or provided through any other channel — to train, fine-tune or otherwise improve generalized or non-personalized AI or ML models. The integrations page repeats that proprietary knowledge is never used to train public large language models, and the security page describes zero-data-retention enterprise agreements with model providers including OpenAI and Anthropic.
Which systems does Inventive AI integrate with?
Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Google Drive and Google Workspace, SharePoint, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, Notion, Confluence and Zendesk, plus Okta SSO over SAML and Google or Microsoft identity providers. Connectors keep knowledge sources in near real-time sync and respect source-level permissions, so users only see content they are already authorized to view.
What security and compliance does Inventive AI offer?
Inventive AI states it is SOC 2 Type II compliant, audited by an independent firm. The security page also describes AES-256 encryption at rest in AWS, TLS 1.2 in transit, tenant isolation, multi-factor authentication for staff, role-based access controls, regular penetration testing and encrypted logs. It does not publish ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP or CMMC attestations for itself, so regulated buyers should confirm requirements directly.
How long does implementation take?
Inventive positions implementation as light: the vendor claims customers reach 100% adoption by week two, connect live knowledge sources instead of migrating a manual answer library, and can import an RFP to get a summary and first-draft responses within seconds. A fixed platform fee covers setup and onboarding, and support is included on every plan.
