Ensis

AI-driven RFP response automation for government contractors

Ensis helps proposal and RFP teams draft responses inside Microsoft Office, with a focus on federal and defense contracts. The site notes that Ensis is now part of Arkenstone and positions the product around AI-generated proposals and faster RFP responses. Add-ins exist for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, and the software can be hosted wherever a customer needs it.

Proposal, sales, operations and technical teams work from one shared knowledge base, and the generated content is meant to draw on verified company knowledge rather than guesses. The company pitches it as an alternative to Microsoft Copilot and claims it halves the time spent on each task; treat that figure as a vendor statement. Solutions pages also cover sales teams, marketing teams and GovCon teams handling RFPs and RFIs.

As an automation tool for government contractors, it will mostly interest teams already writing in Office. The directory lists it as freemium, though the site itself steers visitors to a demo request, so confirm current plans and hosting options before committing.
