What AppleBoar Author does
Four jobs, one platform - all under your sign-off.
Writes in your voice
Drafts tender answers trained on your own winning bids - not a generic template. They sound like you, not an AI.
Refines without restarting
Takes comments and feedback from your team and improves each answer without losing clarity or quality.
Checks every answer
Reviews responses for quality, coverage and evidence. Weak spots are caught by you, not the evaluator.
The problem it solves
Bid writing is relentless.
Writing bids is slow, manual and relentless. Quality and social-value requirements get heavier every year - and the same questions get answered from scratch, every time.
Bring in an external writer and you risk losing your consistency and tone of voice. And you pay for every bid, win or lose.
Senior time, drained
The people who should be winning the work are stuck writing about why they can do the job, instead of getting on and doing it.
Inconsistent voice
Every writer sounds different, and evaluators notice when a submission doesn't hang together.
How it works
From your winning bids to a submitted answer.
Author works the way your team already does - it just does the slow, repetitive half in a fraction of the time.
Step 01
Train it on your work
We feed Author your previous bids and writing style, so it learns how your firm actually wins - before it writes a word.
Step 02
Understand the assignment
Paste in a new question and Author breaks down what each part is really asking, and which of your evidence fits.
Step 03
Draft in your voice
It writes a full first draft in your firm's tone - grounded in your real projects, not invented detail.
Step 04
Refine with your team
Leave comments and direction, and Author reworks each answer in place - improving your draft, never starting over. You steer the wording until it's right.
Step 05
Check and sign off
Author scores coverage and evidence and flags weak spots - you make the final call and sign it off.
Proven in construction
Not a demo. A live client, winning work.

Questions
The things bid teams ask us.
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, put it to us on the call.
Does it just sound like generic AI?
No. Author is trained on your own winning bids and style guide, so drafts come out in your firm's voice - grounded in your real projects, not invented detail. You review and sign off every answer.
Who keeps control of the final answer?
You do, always. Author handles structure, language, coverage and consistency. The technical detail, the judgement and the final sign-off stay with your team. It never overrules your expertise.
Is our bid data kept private?
Yes. Your library and drafts are yours. Author is trained on your material to work for you, and your content stays in-house rather than going to an outside agency for every bid.
How does the pricing work?
A fixed cost, rather than paying an agency per bid, win or lose. That lowers your cost per bid and keeps the work - and the know-how - inside your business. We'll walk through the specifics on the intro call.
How long until we're up and running?
Author writes best once it knows you. We start by training the platform on your previous bids and writing style, then you're drafting real answers. The intro call is where we scope that first.
