BidBot is BidScript's embedded AI assistant. Inside the Answer Workspace it works alongside you rather than as a separate tool, with an understanding of the question, your current draft, the project, and your approved knowledge sources.

BidBot is there to support your judgement, not replace it. Used well, it lets you draft faster and refine with confidence while keeping control of quality and compliance.

The workspace splits in two, with the editor on one side and BidBot on the other, so you can see your draft while you work on it.

Inside the Answer Workspace, BidBot is aware of:

This grounding is what keeps outputs relevant, aligned and traceable back to approved organisational knowledge.

Before generating or regenerating anything, select which Bid Library or Libraries BidBot should draw from. This matters most where your organisation maintains several libraries for different lines of business, products or services - the wrong library produces a plausible answer about the wrong offering.

BidBot then grounds its output only in the libraries you selected.

Once a draft has been generated, the grounding used to produce it is locked by default.

This is deliberate. It means that every time someone opens an answer that already has a draft, they do not have to re-select the Bid Libraries and label configurations that were used originally - the grounding stays as it was, and regenerations stay consistent with the draft the team has already reviewed.

It also means you cannot change the grounding on that answer yourself. Your selections are fixed to what was applied when the draft was generated.

To change grounding on an answer that already has a draft, an account administrator must unlock BidBot grounding controls. See Team Content Controls.

If you know a question needs different libraries from the rest of the bid, set them before the first draft is generated. Doing so afterwards requires an administrator.

If the project already has previous BidBot chats, you can reopen them from the conversation history and continue where you left off.

Click New to start a fresh chat when you switch tasks. A new chat is treated as a separate conversation, but still uses the current Answer Workspace context - the question, the draft, and the project's documents.

Inline editing regenerates part of your answer without touching the rest. It suits targeted improvements: tightening compliance language, adjusting tone, or strengthening a single argument.

When generation finishes, a comparison appears: the original text in red, the proposed revision in green.

Click Accept to replace the text, or Reject to keep the original. Either way, the result appears inline where the original passage was.

You do not have to select text. BidBot understands the structure of your response, so you can refer to a section by name or description:

This is quicker on long or heavily structured answers.

BidBot responds well to explicit stylistic instructions. You can ask it to adjust tone (formal, persuasive, client-focused, technical), change structure (bullets, paragraphs, summaries), or reorder content for clarity.

BidBot can also translate existing sections while preserving tone and structure. For the language selector and supported languages, see Generating drafts.

By default BidBot answers only from your internal knowledge sources. To let it reference public sources, turn on Web Search using the toggle in the BidBot input field.

With web search enabled, BidBot can draw on:

Use it deliberately, and only where your internal sources are genuinely insufficient.

Clear instructions produce better results.

Do not interrupt a generation in progress:

Changing context mid-generation may cancel it, or cause text to appear in the wrong place. If that happens, run the generation again.
