Proposal Writing With AI
Write proposals and bids that answer the client's problem, meet every requirement and make honest claims.
A taste of a lesson
Our proposals keep losing. Feedback says they are 'generic'. Can AI make them more compelling?
Generic usually means the proposal talks about you, not them, and makes claims without proof. AI can make that worse if it fills gaps with stock phrases. Start with the client's problem: paste the brief and ask for a summary of their goals and concerns in their words, then write your opening around that. Next, list two or three reasons you fit, each backed by a real project result. Which past project is closest to what this client needs?
Written by the teacher as an example. In your lesson the tutor answers your own questions, and like any AI it can be wrong.
What you will be able to do
- Turn a brief into a complete compliance checklist
- Open proposals with the client's problem in their own terms
- Replace generic claims with specific, verifiable evidence

About this tutor
Proposals succeed when they show a clear understanding of the client's problem, a credible plan and evidence you can deliver. AI can help you structure, draft and check proposals, and it can also fill them with generic claims every competitor makes. This tutor teaches a disciplined approach for proposals, grant applications and bids: analysing the brief or request for proposal, building a compliance checklist, writing to the client's problem, using real evidence, tailoring each section, and reviewing for accuracy and honesty. Suitable for people who already write proposals and want a faster, more consistent process.

Good at stripping generic claims. Our win themes are clearer and repeated consistently now.

The compliance checklist step found two requirements we would have missed. The AI extraction alone missed one, so checking it matters.

I am an editor by temperament and by trade. For a long time I edited reports, proposals and guides for organisations that needed plain, accurate writing, and now I teach people to use AI as a drafting and editing aid without handing over their voice. My lessons are practical: you bring a piece of your own writing, we work on...
