AI Assist Enhancements

Revise with AI Assist in the Library

Qvidian's AI Assist feature allows users to revise and rewrite existing RFP answers to better match questions. Now, this functionality is also available in the library. Create and share your own prompts in addition to the suggested AI Assist prompts that are already available in sliced RFPs. Clean up content for RFPs, proposals, and presentations directly in your library.

Note: To revise library content with AI Assist, ensure that the user has "Edit" content permissions and that the "Allow User to Use Revise with AI Assist in Library" user permission has been enabled. Navigate to the library and locate the desired content record, click the More Options More Options\ menu and select Edit Content > Revise with AI Assist. Revising library content with AI Assist counts as an "Edit" and checks out the content. Click Preview and Accept to open the side-by-side comparison of the old and new content. From here, you can preview, download, and copy the content before accepting the revision.

Caution: Revising with AI Assist in the library is only recommended for simple content that does not contain multiple styles and/or graphics. Once revised text is accepted, the changes are saved to the library, which may overwrite any existing styles and graphics.

LLM Updates

Qvidian will support the Llama 4 Maverick LLM for Watsonx.
