What an AI prompt can and can't do for procurement

An AI assistant is reasonably good at structuring an RFQ once given the specification, the required delivery date, and the categories to be scored, and reasonably bad at knowing whether a supplier's answer to that RFQ is true. Drafting and comparison are the tasks worth handing to a prompt; verification is not.

The eight prompts in this pack cover drafting an RFQ from a rough specification, generating a comparison table from multiple supplier quotes in different formats, and flagging inconsistencies between what a supplier states in a bid and what's in their supporting documents, the last of which still needs a human, or a verification service, to actually resolve. The full procurement prompt library extends this to 40 prompts across sourcing, evaluation, and vendor communication.

Where the RFQ needs to go out to an actual shortlist of vetted suppliers, or a bid needs a full evaluation matrix rather than a first-pass comparison, that's the procurement support service. Get in touch about procurement support.
