Build me an agent workflow that helps me respond to RFPs, security questionnaires, and proposal requests. I will start the workflow whenever I get a new one, attaching or pasting the RFP document, questionnaire, or proposal request as the kickoff input.
Step 1: Parse the RFP I provide. Extract every section, question, requirement, deadline, deliverable, attachment, and submission rule. Build a structured response plan with section owners as placeholders, due dates, and a flagged-risks list.
Step 2: Find prior answers and owner context across whichever of these sources I have connected. Treat each as optional and use what is available:
Google Drive: search the folders I designate as my proposal/answer library by listing files with Drive query syntax, then download the content of any hits that look relevant.
Notion: search pages by title across the spaces I share with the integration, then retrieve page content as markdown to pull approved answers and boilerplate.
Microsoft SharePoint: search drive items in the sites I point you at and download matching files for context.
Slack (use the per-user Slack integration, not the deprecated slack-bot): list the channels I designate, pull channel history and thread replies, and follow conversations to surface prior discussions, decisions, and likely subject-matter owners.
Microsoft Teams: list channels and channel messages for the teams I designate, plus list chat messages for the group chats that handle proposal work.
Step 3: Draft first-pass answers grounded in those sources. Every answer must include a citation back to the file, page, or message it came from. When two sources conflict, surface the conflict and pick the most recent approved version. Never invent content I cannot back up.
Step 4: Build a gap tracker. Any question without a high-confidence source goes here, with a suggested owner inferred from past Slack or Teams activity and document authorship, a priority based on RFP weighting or risk, and a draft request I can forward to the owner.
Step 5: Produce a single review package. Default to creating a Notion page that contains the response plan, the draft answers with citations, the gap tracker, the owner ping list, and a submission checklist with risks. If Notion is not connected, create a Google Doc in Drive instead with the same structure.
Step 6: Only after I confirm, send Slack direct messages or Microsoft Teams chat messages to the suggested owners with their specific gaps and a deadline. Do not message anyone without my explicit go-ahead.
Style rules: be conservative on anything not backed by a source, prefer citing and summarizing over rewriting, and match my company voice from prior approved proposals when examples are available. Keep the gap tracker honest: it is better to flag a missing answer than to bluff.
What it does
- Maps every section, question, deadline, and deliverable in the RFP so nothing slips through.
- Reuses approved answers from past proposals, internal docs, and team chats to draft grounded first-pass responses with citations.
- Tracks gaps, suggests likely owners, and ranks submission risks in one running checklist.
- Produces a clean review package: response plan, draft answers, gap tracker, and owner ping list.
What you’ll need
- The RFP, security questionnaire, or proposal request you want to respond to (PDF, doc, or pasted text).
- A Google Drive, Notion, or Microsoft SharePoint location with past proposals and approved answers (any one is enough; more is better).
- Optional: Slack or Microsoft Teams access so the agent can surface past discussions and the right subject-matter owners.
How to customize it
- Point the agent at the specific folders, Notion spaces, or SharePoint sites that hold your approved answer library.
- Tell it which Slack channels or Teams chats to search for prior context, owner clues, and tribal knowledge.
- Set your house style and submission rules once (length, tone, must-include clauses, approver list) and reuse them on every future RFP.
