Document AI for RFPs and contracts
AI that reads long tenders and contracts, extracts every requirement and risky clause, and links each answer to the exact page and line it came from.
Reads the whole document
200-page tenders in full, with tables, appendices and scanned pages.
Lists every requirement
Each obligation and clause becomes one line on a checklist, with its section number.
Flags what bites
Disqualifying rules, contradictions between sections, auto-renewals and liability caps.
Answers with the source
Ask a question and get the answer with the page and clause behind it, one click away.
Drafts the next step
A reply to the supplier asking for better terms, or a first draft of an RFP or policy.

The details thatdecide adoption.
Two-column layouts, tables across pages and clause numbers that restart per appendix are where most of the work goes.
When the document does not say, the answer is “Not in the document”, never a guess.
Rule checks apply what a senior bid manager or the seller's playbook would look for.
The AI saves the reading. People decide whether to bid, sign or push back.
What to prepare before a document AI project
Document AI succeeds or fails on the documents. Bring the real ones, especially the messy ones, not a clean sample.
- Real documents of every shape. Scanned annexes, two-column layouts and tables that run across pages.
- What an expert looks for. Write down what your senior bid manager or reviewer checks first, and why.
- Your rules. What disqualifies a bid, what is a normal notice period, which clauses you never accept.
- Known answers. A few documents where you already know the right findings, to test against.
With those four in hand, a proof of concept can show within weeks whether the AI finds what your experts find, with every finding linked to its page and line.

Common questions
How do you stop the AI from making things up?
Every answer is written from passages retrieved from the document itself, and every finding links to its page and clause. When the document does not cover a question, Syphon answers “Not in the document” instead of guessing.
Can it read scanned PDFs and tables?
Yes. Syphon reads page by page, including tables and scanned pages, and keeps the page and section number on every sentence so it can be found again.
How much faster is it than reading by hand?
Syphon's first review of a tender is about 10 times faster than reading it by hand, and Contract Blitz gives a full first read of a contract in under 10 minutes.
Does it replace a lawyer?
No. Contract Blitz gives small sellers a plain-English first read, flags risky clauses and suggests what to ask for. Decisions, and legal advice on high-stakes agreements, stay with people.
Can it write documents as well as read them?
Yes. On the buyer side, Syphon asks a few guided questions and drafts procurement policies and RFP documents.
