Arphie
AI-native RFP, DDQ, and security-questionnaire responses from live sources
Founded 2023 · San Francisco, CA · Seed
What is Arphie?
Arphie is an AI-native platform for responding to RFPs, DDQs, and security questionnaires. It is built for go-to-market teams — sales, sales engineering, security, and proposal groups — that field a steady stream of buyer questionnaires. Instead of starting from a blank document, Arphie maps incoming questions to your connected knowledge and drafts an answer for each one.
How the drafting works
Arphie generates a first-draft answer to each question from your knowledge base and connected data sources. Two design choices shape the review experience: every answer carries a citation to the sources it used, and every answer shows an AI confidence level. Together these let a reviewer trace an answer back to its origin and gauge how much editing it needs. A Gartner Peer Insights reviewer described the drafting as producing an “awesome first draft” for the team to work from — which frames Arphie’s output as review-ready rather than send-ready.
Content governance
Arphie keeps live connections to source documents, so drafts draw from current content as those documents change. Its Smart Merge feature de-duplicates the Q&A library, preferring more recently updated answers and cleaning up grammar and readability. That reduces the risk of a stale or duplicate answer surfacing. What is not publicly documented is automatic cross-source conflict detection that flags two sources disagreeing on the same fact inline — governance here rests on live sync plus library de-duplication rather than an explicit conflict monitor.
Workflow and collaboration
Arphie supports role-based permissions, deadline tracking, and routing of unresolved questions to the right subject-matter expert. That covers the core of questionnaire coordination. The gaps show up in depth: G2 reviewers report that reporting and analytics are early-stage and that they would like a deeper approval chain (as of July 2026). Teams that need multi-gate review, rich win-rate analytics, and formal content sign-off should weigh those limits.
Deployment and fit
Onboarding is fast. A Gartner Peer Insights reviewer reported migrating from another system in “an hour or two,” and the platform connects to Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence, Seismic, Highspot, and product-documentation URLs. Pricing is quote-based with a free proof-of-value trial and no published self-serve tier, so budgeting requires a sales conversation. Arphie suits sales engineering, pre-sales, and solutions teams at B2B SaaS companies handling regular RFP and security-questionnaire volume — with the caveats that there is no mobile app and that Q&A import is currently limited to Excel (per G2 reviewers, as of July 2026).

Inventive AI
AI-agentic RFP, DDQ, and security-questionnaire responses
Inventive AI is an AI-agentic response platform for RFPs, DDQs, and security questionnaires. It parses an incoming document, maps every requirement, and generates a cited first draft from your connected knowledge sources — so your team reviews and refines rather than writing from scratch.
Tribble
Governed AI answer platform for RFPs, questionnaires, and sales responses
Tribble is a governed AI answer platform that drafts RFP, DDQ, and security-questionnaire responses from a company's approved knowledge, then delivers those answers into Slack, Microsoft Teams, and the CRM where sales teams already work. Every answer carries a source citation, a confidence score, and an owner, and low-confidence items route to a subject-matter expert for review before submission.
Conveyor
AI security-questionnaire automation and an agentic customer trust center
Conveyor is an AI platform for customer security reviews. It automates security questionnaires and DDQs by drafting cited answers from your connected documents, and pairs that with a customer-facing Trust Center where prospects can self-serve security documentation and get sourced answers behind an NDA gate. It is built for security and pre-sales teams, not general long-form proposal writing.
HeyIris
One AI workspace for RFPs, DDQs, and security questionnaires
HeyIris (the product is styled "Iris") is an AI-native response workspace that handles RFPs, RFIs, RFQs, DDQs, and security questionnaires in one environment. It builds a knowledge base from your uploaded documents and connected systems, then drafts responses with inline source citations and a confidence score on each answer, so contributors review and refine rather than write from scratch.
FAQ
- Does Arphie require a maintained Q&A library?
- Not a manually curated one. Arphie keeps live connections to sources such as Google Drive, SharePoint, and Confluence, and its Smart Merge feature de-duplicates library entries and prefers more recently updated answers, so the content stays current without ongoing hand-maintenance.
- How does Arphie help reviewers trust an answer?
- Each first-draft answer shows the sources it drew from and an AI confidence level, so a reviewer can see where an answer came from and how much scrutiny it needs before sending (as of July 2026).
- What does Arphie cost?
- Arphie does not publish self-serve pricing; it is quote-based with a free proof-of-value trial, so a sales conversation is required to get a price (as of July 2026).
