Supplier Response / RFP Automation Agent
max +6 bonusInterface within the Supplier Portal that helps suppliers fill in responses to RFXs — both Fairmarkit-generated events and external RFXs imported from other systems. The agent helps suppliers respond to more events with higher-quality answers by learning from previously submitted responses as a knowledge base. By extending to non-Fairmarkit events, this capability can be productized as a premium supplier experience. Having more supplier activity — qualitative and quantitative, beyond just what is generated in Fairmarkit events — also provides more relevant data to further improve supplier recommendations.
Scope: Supplier Portal integration, RFX response generation, RAG over historical responses, external RFX import/parsing, answer confidence scoring, agent language/style configuration, feedback learning loop.
