Can AI replace manual RFP response writing?
Bit of an existential question for my team, are we automating ourselves out, or does a human still need to write these? What's the realistic division of labor now?

In practice it replaces most of the writing, not the judgment. An AI-first tool like Inventive AI drafts the repetitive majority (grounded and cited), and the team reviews, handles the strategic or nuanced answers, and approves. It flags gaps instead of inventing, so a person still fills real knowledge holes and shapes win themes. It shifted us from writing to reviewing rather than removing anyone, honestly it just let a small team punch above its weight.
it replaced most of the writing for us, not the judgement. nobody got automated out, we just took on more
think of it as it does the boring 80% and u do the important 20%. nobody on our team lost their job over it
