Google's Gemini AI can help you tackle long business proposals

A tech publication, The Information, has published a guide on using Google's Gemini AI to help respond to requests for proposals, known as RFPs. These are long documents that can take a team many hours to answer. For companies that bid on contracts, an AI helper for that paperwork could be a real time saver.

What an RFP is

An RFP is a formal call for bids on a project, sent out by a client. Companies that want the work write a response explaining what they would do. For many businesses, these responses are the lifeblood of new business development.

Why it matters

A winning response can lead to large new revenue. It can also start a years-long relationship with a valuable client. The catch is the work itself. RFPs are known to be exhausting, with page after page of dense questions to answer.

What is not known yet

The material available for this story is brief. It does not say which Gemini features the guide covers, what steps it recommends, or what the tool costs. It also does not say how much time businesses might save or how well the tool performs on real proposals.

What to do

Businesses that bid for contracts could read the full guide and try Gemini on a small, low-risk task first. Any answer an AI tool drafts should still be checked by a person before it goes to a client, since a proposal speaks for the company.
