15+ years in sensitive, high-stakes bids. Now with AI doing the jobs AI is actually good at.
A proposal is written by a lot of people under a lot of pressure. The technical lead, the price author, the compliance reviewer, the SMEs pulled in for one section each. They write at different times, in different styles, to different standards. The result reads like what it is: a dozen voices stitched together, with the compliance risk and the clarity problems buried somewhere in the seams.
Bid Writing closes that gap. Draft and refine directly in Microsoft Word, ground what you write in your own approved content, and check every paragraph for clarity, tone, and compliance before it goes anywhere, so a proposal written by many people reads like it came from one organization.
Your AI writing assistant, living inside the editor your team already uses.
Visi is VisibleThread's AI writing assistant, and the part that matters most is where it lives: directly inside Microsoft Word, as an add-in.
Your writers don't learn a new editor or copy text back and forth between tools. They write where they've always written, and Visi works alongside them in the same document, drafting from your approved content, answering grounded prompts, and running clarity and compliance checks in place.
The same capability is available in the VisibleThread editor too, so people can work in whichever environment suits them. But for most teams the answer is simple: Visi meets them in Word.
Work where you already write
The person writing the price proposal isn't the person writing the technical volume, and they don't all want to work in the same tool. The Word Add-In means they don't have to change anything. They open Word, sign in, and Visi is right there: prompts, grounding, scoring, all inside the document they were going to write in anyway. For teams that co-edit through SharePoint, the add-in supports that too.
Ground every draft in your approved content
A blank page is the hardest place to start, and an ungrounded AI answer is the riskiest. Visi solves both. Pull from a collection of your best past work, your approved case studies, technical volumes, and past performance, and the AI drafts from real, approved material instead of guessing. Every answer comes back with citations tracing each claim to its source, so you can verify it rather than trust it.
Collections are how you curate that approved content. See Collections & SharePoint Integration for how they're built and kept current.
Our team holds an active Top Secret facility clearance2 and has delivered three comparable IDIQ efforts since 20235.
One voice across every writer and section
This is where consistency stops being a hope and becomes a rule. A consistent tone of voice is one of the biggest drivers of trust in regulated bids, and it's almost impossible to hold by hand across many authors. VisibleThread applies your organization's standards to every document automatically, so the proposal looks, feels, and reads like one organization wrote it, whether you have five writers or five thousand.
Custom watchword lists
Define the language that's yours and the language that's banned. Preferred terminology, required acronyms, and the weasel words you never want to see, the claims you can't back with evidence and don't want to be held to after award. Visi flags every deviation instantly.
Our world class, state of the art platform is best in class.
Readability scoring
Long, dense sentences slow evaluators down, and a tired evaluator is not on your side. Score every document on grade level, sentence length, passive voice, and complexity, then tighten the writing to a level your reader can move through without friction.
Scale writing excellence
New writers, contractors, and SMEs align with your standards from day one. No ramp-up, no guesswork, no senior writer rebuilding every paragraph behind them. The standards are built into the tool, so the guardrails are there whether someone has written one proposal or a hundred.
Proposals drafted faster, in one voice, grounded in your best work and checked before submission, no matter how many people touched it.
