# How can a company use AI to answer proposals and RFPs safely?

Use AI to draft from a library of approved past answers, not from scratch: each question is matched to the closest approved answer with its source, gaps are flagged for a subject expert, and an owner reviews everything before submission. The quality of the answer library matters more than the tool.

## What this means in practice

- Collect and approve your best past answers, with an owner per topic.
- Show the source of every drafted answer so reviewers can check it.
- Send unanswered or sensitive questions to the right expert.
- Add newly approved answers back to the library after each submission.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.

## See it as a workflow

- [Proposal and RFP first drafts](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/proposal-and-rfp-drafting/): Draft proposals and questionnaire answers from your approved past answers, so the team edits a strong first draft instead of starting blank.
