Who it's for
Where you work
Other proposal tools are web apps: draft in a browser, fight the formatting on the way out. Buoyant lives inside Word and InDesign. It works less like a chatbot and more like a digital employee: an agent that hands back a finished, compliant proposal, not just suggestions.
No copy-pasting between apps · Always human-reviewed
The knowledge base
Resumes, past projects, proposals, boilerplate, photography: indexed and searchable in plain language.
Every photo, figure, and exhibit inside your documents is auto-extracted and auto-labeled. "Aerial of the water treatment plant" is a search, not an afternoon of digging.
Generation pulls the right projects, people, and proof points into every section: your institutional memory, on every page.
Buoyant learns how your firm writes from the proposals you've already won. Drafts sound like your team on its best day, not a chatbot.
End to end
Five products, one current. Buoyant owns the pursuit from sourcing and qualification through drafting, review, and the win.
RFPs surfaced from the portals you already watch, scored against your backlog, geography, and win history before anyone spends an hour.
Track pursuits from lead to award, log interactions, and forecast revenue, synced with the CRM you already run.
Full drafts inside Word and InDesign, grounded in your knowledge base and written in your firm's voice.
Every section checked against every requirement before a human reviewer opens the file.
Submit, debrief, and feed what you learned back into the knowledge base. The next pursuit starts further ahead.

AEC firms handle sensitive project data, client information, and proprietary methodologies. We built Buoyant with that in mind.
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Your proposals, RFPs, and knowledge base never travel unprotected.
Every customer's data is kept strictly separate. Your firm's content is never accessible to other organizations.
We do not train AI models on your firm's data. Your proprietary proposals, resumes, and project histories remain yours alone.
Buoyant brings AI to the tools AEC firms already use, starting with proposals.
