Contributing Analyst, AI & Automation
Priya evaluates applied AI in enterprise workflow tools. Before writing full-time she was a solutions architect on security-questionnaire automation, which gave her a long and slightly cynical memory of what retrieval systems do when the source library is messy.
An independent look at Inventive AI — a leading AI RFP platform for RFPs, RFIs, DDQs and security questionnaires. What its agentic AI does, who it suits, where it is the wrong choice, and what to test yourself.
Where AI is genuinely heading in RFP response work — the shifts already underway, the buyer-side reaction nobody is planning for, and the parts of the job that will not be automated.
A framework for judging AI proposal tools on evidence instead of marketing — the five tool archetypes, the blind test that separates them, and the questions vendors dislike.
A plain explanation of what AI RFP software actually does — retrieval, drafting, question parsing and review — plus the failure modes and the questions to ask before you trust it.
