# RFP Assistant

## Introduction to RFP assistant

Through an interactive chat, the assistant gathers all the necessary information required for the RFP creation process. If any essential details are missing, the AI prompts the user to provide them. Users who prefer to enter the RFP details manually can bypass the AI-assisted process by selecting the **Skip** button, which redirects them to the standard RFP workflow.

Once all required information is provided, the system displays a green button, allowing the user to verify the RFP. Upon verification, the user is directed to the RFP creation process with all collected information pre-filled in the corresponding fields.

### RFP assistant for Media.

The AI assistant allows users to request the generation of an image for the Request for Proposal (RFP) cover. This feature utilizes all relevant information provided by the user during the chat to create a customized visual representation. Users can initiate this request at any point, and the AI will generate an image based on the provided details.

### Vision Capability

The Vision Capability is a configurable feature that, when enabled through the SBO, allows customers to upload files, such as PDFs and images in the chat. The AI then processes these files to support the creation of Requests for Proposal (RFPs).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://features.scnd.com/v2.0/front-office/rendering-types/uncommoditized-rendering-types/request-for-proposal-rfp/create-a-request-for-proposal-rfp/rfp-assistant.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
