AutogenAI Reviews & Product Details

I appreciate that the product is regularly updated in response to client feedback. Even though some of the current features might not be exactly what we need at the moment, it's reassuring to know that our input is taken into account and may influence future updates. I think the best three features of the product are:

1. Prompts/Pure Completion: The range/flexibility here has been great in terms of reviewing first drafts for bids, as it provides a more accurate viewpoint of whether questions/specifications have been addressed in comparison to Gamma Review. I was able to design my own prompt which included the command, bid question, bid specification, marking criteria & suggestions for improvement to ensure it meets the maximum marking criteria.

2. Search Prompt: An issue we've experienced with building first drafts is that using the expand function means that the AI would write an answer, which takes away the human element of bid writing somewhat. To overcome this, the search tool has been great at finding relevant text based on keywords I've built to associate with my pre-selected bid answers in my library; this allows me to pull the exact text from the sources for editing in my first drafts, which puts the control further back in my hands.

3. Library Management: The ability to create/sanitise your own bid library is much more efficient than looking for ideas/sources from a library with much wider subject matters. It feels like a constantly evolving product, in that the more relevant information you give it, the more relevant information you get back. While we do use a lot of Word/Excel/PDF files, what could help is an ability to pull stats from PowerBI dashboards we use to advance our libraries further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do think some features need tweaking (in various levels depending on the experience) as they tend to add more time to the bid process rather than reduce time. For conciseness, I've listed the three features that I feel require the most improvement:

1. Research Assistant: It feels quite ineffective at pulling requested information from specific internet sources. For example, I asked it to give me a detailed list of all providers within an apprenticeship framework, even asking it to look at the URL that contained all this information, only to get a result saying that it was unable to do this. The result was right in front of it and it failed.

2. Gamma Review: Concerning my comments about Prompt/Pure Completion being an effective review tool, I think it does defeat the point of having Gamma Review as a feature. It has problems concerning word counts and lack of text boxes to provide the required information to ensure accurate review. While one could argue you could use the Extract/Summarise tool to make it fit the word count, you run the risk of compromising accuracy in your review process because some things just get omitted by default. In addition, while you can review answers against pre-defined criteria (e.g. innovation/evidence/robustness), bid writers will always defer to the scoring criteria given in each individual bid, making these pre-defined criteria seem inaccurate, although well-intentioned. To improve this, I think the system needs the following:

- Individual text boxes (without word counts) centered around the question, marking criteria, specification,

- Option for draft revision to ensure drafts hit maximum scoring criteria

3. Template Management/SSQ completion: Template Management could be a great tool for completing SSQ documents almost instantly, but because the process of exporting content into these templates is jarring as the template seems to take on a different form, it leaves some potential/time on the table. It needs to just input text based on question recognition identified within sources (e.g. library, datasets, Q&A workbooks), leave the template in its pre-uploaded form, and thats it, that should be all completed.

I'm probably suggesting a whole new feature here, but some way to upload an SSQ draft and populate it based on library sources (e.g. question recognition) would save time for future submissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AutogenAI is excellent at speeding up the drafting process in bidding whilst maintaining attention to detail. The document editor in My Drafts is by far the most useful feature with a range of tools that make shaping content very simple. Being able to filter sources is also invaluable. The system is easy to use and fits seamlessly into my existing workflow, increasing how much I can get done in a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main limitation is that prompts have to start in the initial window before moving into the editor which isn't a major barrier, but it creates an extra step that would be avoided if these prompts could be done directly within the editor itself as this is the feature I find most useful.

We’ve had an exceptional experience working with the AutogenAI Implementation team. From the very beginning, their dedication, responsiveness, and deep understanding of the platform have made a real difference in our onboarding journey.

A special mention goes to Karen Randolfe, our Implementation Consultant, who has been absolutely brilliant. Karen has a real gift for breaking down complex examples into clear, actionable steps, making it easy for our team to understand and apply the system effectively. She’s consistently gone above and beyond to answer our queries with patience and precision, and her support has been invaluable.

The entire team deserves recognition for their continued commitment to excellence. No question is ever too small, and their proactive approach has made us feel truly supported every step of the way.

Thank you all for making this implementation process smooth, insightful, and genuinely enjoyable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is not applicable to my review we appreciate what AutogenAI has provided to us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how the tools are tailored specifically for bid writing, as well as the integration of the SharePoint library. We always mention the support we receive, they are quick and always open to help. I love how easy it is use the main features and how there are many tools which other AIs are missing.

A huge positive is teaching and guidance which I really appreciate, as a new learner I wase encouraged to ask questions and given chance to take one on ones to familiarise myself with the AI. Most tools are simple and self explanatory which makes it easy to use.

I use it a lot for even little things such as emails or questions. Also, really random but I like the look and the minimalist look, I think it allows you to take more in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A huge thing that comes up often when we talk about Autogen is how often the platform changes while I understand there are new tools to improve the experience but this makes commonly used tools obsolete - this just juxtaposes the ideas of getting familiar of new tools for them just to change or be removed. I love new tools however constant changes every time is excessive especially those of which are unnecessary. While my fellow colleagues were trying to teach them many of them had no idea or use of the many tools.

Also, it also sometimes gives out misinformation despite only selecting the library or extracting from a document, I learnt the hard way :( - however I feel this is not too much of problem as it is up to the person to read it thoroughly regardless. Also cannot find many things from our library (might be because it is too big if so I can understand), which means it struggles to answer some company specific questions or find examples or case studies.

Sometimes, companies view AI-written bids as less credible if the style is too generic. Sometimes it is so obviously AI as it feels to replicate human tone or our writing style. Can completely just ignore the prompt given e.g. word count or cut out important sections (I can understand but it gets annoying at times), it fails to recognise subject of question at times.

Some tools I am completely lost but I will be having a one-on-one to guide me through the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is significant potential in using LLMs as a method for reviewing, understanding, answering, preparing, and refining submissions for ITTs. By leveraging both local historic data and global internet data, these models can enhance the quality and relevance of the responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the overall structure of the AutogenAI interface and its usage to be overly complex, demanding a considerable amount of effort and mental agility. This is especially challenging given the significant mental workload already involved in handling a large and complex ITT. A much greater simplification of the user experience would be a significant and much-needed improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am impressed by the features, and how some of them are so useful to bid writing specifically. I also like that there is an option to draw from information in our knowledge library, as well as from internet sources. The security aspect is also a big plus, in that information we input into AutogenAI won't be shared externally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is quite slow at times. I have not used it a lot just yet, but I have found it to perhaps be less user-friendly/simple to use than other AI platforms. This could however be due to lack of training (so far) on my part and due to there being more features available on Autogen AI compared to other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how AutogenAI significantly saves me time by making my work across multiple bids more efficient. Its features to expand or minimize text flexibly suit tight or extensive word counts, providing valuable adaptability. The transition from using Chat GPT to Autogen AI highlights its effectiveness and the workflow efficiency it brings, which is crucial in our fast-paced, ever-evolving industry.

I found the initial setup of AutogenAI quite difficult. The platform offers many features, and it took me a while to understand which buttons perform which actions. My lack of technical expertise might have contributed to this challenge, but it was still a hurdle that I had to overcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find AutogenAI's setup straightforward with the assistance of IT, enhancing ease of access and usage. The tool excels in transforming complex information into clear, credible responses rapidly, significantly saving time. I appreciate its diverse tools like the research assistant, Ask AI, and PURE Completion, which effortlessly assist in drafting and modifying texts. I am impressed by the capability to maintain and manage a centralized library for big proposals. The service is exceptionally user-friendly for writing bids and proposals, allowing seamless draft management. Moreover, the responsive and helpful customer support stands out, providing reliable assistance whenever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the lack of integration with Word and PDF formats an inconvenience. Transferring proposals often requires cutting and pasting, which is time-consuming. It's problematic that not everyone can access or afford AutogenAI, making it difficult to collaborate efficiently on documents typically finalized in Word or PDF.

Having the ability to use our company resources directly is very useful. As I am relatively new to some divisions of our company it has saved me and others some time as I no longer need to ask people where to find certain things or if we have written about them before. Karen has been really supportive throughout implementation of the platform too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can sometimes feel a little clunky in the language it uses, and isn't quite as concise as we need it to be. I find that often I can't directly copy and paste chunks of text as they're not quite right, but it is very useful as a starting point for inspiration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to integrate our SharePoint library into AutogenAI means we can easily extract material from our previous collateral. The tool has lots of functionalities that allows you to almost craft an entire response from start to finish also within the platform. The AutogenAI Academy and the sessions we have had with the AutogenAI consultants have both been extremely helpful in progressing my learning. I think I have only scratched the surface with AutogenAI and believe that it will prove to become an invaluable tool in my day to day life as a bid manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if we could further polish responses within the platform by having the ability to input images and different text styles to our response, without needed to leave the platform. It would also be useful if the platform could automatically address and input feedback that has been generated by the Gamma Review function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
