Cognaire Respond simplifies complex questionnaires by generating accurate, customer-specific answers without hallucinations. It is designed for evolving knowledge and helps teams coordinate SMEs to deliver high-quality responses fast.
Generates answers from governed corpus content using multi-stage AI with guidance and language rules. A second refinement pass improves clarity and tone, producing accurate, consistent, hallucination-free responses.
Uses a structured, versioned corpus plus AI-augmented reviews and quality scoring. The corpus → domain → unit hierarchy enables document reuse, lowers upkeep, and keeps answers aligned with trusted, approved, up-to-date content.
Enforces topic-level rules for knowledge approvals, blocked content and governance. Low-quality or non-compliant documents are auto-rejected, preventing risky or outdated material from influencing answers and reducing SME workload.
Every answer is scored for completeness, risk and compliance. The system flags unclear, contradictory or incomplete responses, helping SMEs focus their time on the answers that need the most attention before submission.
Supports SME assignment, progress tracking, multi-stage workflows, due dates and real-time collaboration. Dashboards, lifecycles and cross-document work queues streamline coordination for large teams handling complex RFPs.
AI tailors CVs and case studies for each bid, improving relevance and win-rates. Version-controlled masters keep content authoritative while allowing customised variants focused on specific projects or customer needs.

These are common questions about Cognaire Respond
Cognaire Respond is an AI-powered platform that automates responses to RFPs, security questionnaires, ESG and due-diligence forms, and other complex multi-section assessments. Instead of relying on static Q and A libraries, Respond uses a retrieval-augmented, multi-stage AI pipeline that generates tailored answers directly from your governed knowledge corpus.
You can use it for RFPs, RFIs, RFQs, security and vendor risk questionnaires, DDQs, compliance and IT assessments, plus internal assessments, grant applications, CV and case study workflows, and more.
Generic chatbots guess from public data, offer little workflow control, and usually use your data to train their models. Traditional RFP tools depend on large, high-maintenance Q and A libraries.
Cognaire Respond is different. It works only from your secure, governed corpus, uses topic-level content rules, and runs a two-stage AI pipeline that combines knowledge-grounded answering with a style and compliance pass that adds completeness, risk and compliance scoring. It also includes bulk answering for 500+ questions, rich collaboration tools, audit trails, and optional single-tenant, single-country deployments for regulated customers.
Your data is never used to train public AI models. Respond opts out of all third-party model training and uses private inference via Amazon Bedrock, not public chat interfaces.
Each customer operates in an isolated subtenant with segregated corpus, vector indexes, governance rules and credentials, plus encryption in transit and at rest, strict role-based access control, full audit history, and optional dedicated single-tenant deployments. Respond is primarily hosted in the US but supports regional and sovereignty-focused deployments in locations such as London, Frankfurt, Sydney, Singapore and others when data residency is required.
Customers typically see around a 95 percent reduction in answer drafting time and about a 90 percent reduction in overall effort to finalise answers. They report higher evaluator scores thanks to more complete, consistent responses, plus reduced SME workload so experts can focus on higher-value work.
Over time, governed corpus management and AI quality controls also strengthen compliance, reduce response risk, and improve staff satisfaction by removing the repetitive grunt work from large questionnaires.
