A Self-Maintaining Content Library That Keeps Answers Getting Better
What do you like best about the product?
Every approved answer feeds straight back into the content library automatically, and anything that’s gone stale gets flagged before it turns into a problem. Since we started, I haven’t had to touch the library manually even once, and yet the quality of the answers has only improved over time. It basically maintains itself, which might sound simple, but it’s genuinely rare.
What do you dislike about the product?
A handful of very specific word-formatting edge cases still need a light touch after export. It’s minor and doesn’t come up often, but it’s worth knowing. The latest release is apparently meant to address this, although I haven’t had the chance to verify it firsthand yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our answer library was always lagging behind. No one had the bandwidth to keep it up to date, so it slowly drifted, and proposals would go out with product descriptions that were a year out of date. We only realized how bad it had gotten when a client pointed it out. Steerlab closed that gap without adding any extra overhead. Now the library stays current on its own, and we no longer worry about which version of the truth we’re submitting.
Fast setup zero friction
What do you like best about the product?
Honestly, I went in with low expectations, because day-one new tools rarely hit the ground running. But by mid-morning we had our data sources connected, and before the afternoon was out we already had a real, working draft in front of us. There was no IT involvement, no phased setup, and no sitting around waiting for access to be provisioned. That kind of immediacy matters more than people give it credit for. When active bids are on the line, every day spent onboarding is a day your competitors aren’t standing still. Steerlab just removes that gap completely.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Slack alerts are timely and genuinely useful, but the handoff still means I have to jump back into the main app to finish an approval. It’s a small point of friction in what is otherwise a smooth, fluid process, and being able to close that loop entirely within Slack would be a truly helpful upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The platform we used before took weeks to get off the ground. By the time we were finally set up, we’d already missed opportunities and the team had lost momentum—basically a quarter of our productivity gone before we’d written a single response. That experience made us much more deliberate when evaluating tools. Steerlab was the first one that didn’t make us pay an entry fee in lost time just to get started.
Transparent AI is the only kind worth using
What do you like best about the product?
Every suggested answer traces back to a specific paragraph in the source document not just a vague reference, the exact passage. And when it can't find a strong match, it tells you that too. That kind of honesty is rare in AI tooling, and it's precisely why we feel confident using it for regulated submissions where every answer has to be defensible.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Chrome extension doesn't yet cover a couple of the smaller procurement platforms we occasionally work with. Coverage is solid overall - this is a minor gap, not a dealbreaker, but it's worth knowing going in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our previous tool gave us AI suggestions with no way to trace where they came from. In an audit, that's not just unhelpful it's a liability. Steerlab replaced that uncertainty with a clear paper trail for every single answer. Now when someone ask how we arrived at a response, we can show them exactly.
Switched from Loopio and don't miss it
What do you like best about the product?
We spent 2 years on Loopio before making the switch to Steerlab. The AI is noticeably better, Excel handling isn't even a comparison, and the interface is clean enough that the team picked it up faster than we anticipated. When a migration goes that smoothly, you know you made the right call.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Slack integration works well for notifications, but the in Slack approval workflow feels like it has more room to grow. It gets your partway there just not all the way yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our content library had quietly gone stale, and the AI was surfacing outdated answers often enough that it became a real trust issue. Every suggestion needed a second look. Steerlab fixed that the answers it pulls are current, and the team can actually rely on them.
Designed for Bid Managers: Strong Workflows and Tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Most RFP software feels like it was built for sales teams and then shoehorned into proposals an afterthought. Steerlab is different, you can tell it was designed with bid managers in mind from the start. The workflows and tracking features aren't bolted on. They actually reflect how this work gets done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Word exports are generally reliable, but one heavily formatted template gave us grief. Worth flagging though the team shipped a patch for it shortly after, which shows they're paying attention.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were running a serious bid operation on tools that were never meant for it. Spreadsheets, project boards, email threads, stitched together and called a system. It worked until it didn't. Steerlab replaced all of that with something actually built for the job.
Import any format and get to work
What do you like best about the product?
Government RFPs don't arrive in clean, tidy formats. You get multi-tab Excel files, word docs full of tracked changes, PDFs with embedded tables the works. Steerlab handles all of it without complaint and gets you straight into responding. No wrestling with the files first.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slide generation would be a welcome addition even something basic. After every major bid, we manually put together a highlights deck, which feels pretty redundant when the content is already there. A simple summary export would save the team real time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to lose half a day just getting documents into a workable state before any actual proposal writing could begin. That entire prep step is gone now. We open the RFP and we are already working.
Compliance team actually likes this one
What do you like best about the product?
Our compliance officer blocked every Ai tool we put in front of her, until Steerlab. The source citations and the fact that it won't generate unsourced content were what finally won her over. That's not a small thing when you've been hitting a wall at every turn.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Chrome extension works on most portals, but we ran into two it didn't support. To be fair, the team added one almost immediately after we flagged it, and the second is already in progress. Responsive support goes a long way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every proposal used to go through a week long compliance review because nobody trusted AI-generated content and honestly, fair enough. Now the team spot checks instead. Because they can verify the sources themselves, the trust is already built in.
The Slack bot is my secret weapon
What do you like best about the product?
I use it multiple times a day during prospect calls. Ask a question, get a sourced answer in seconds, it's like having our entire knowledge base on speed dial. For real-time lookups, it's hard to beat.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's great for quick lookups, but running a full approval cycle inside Slack isn't really there yet. If that were possible, it could seriously speed up turnaround times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Live calls used to mean scrambling, digging through Confluence pages, shared drives, old email threads just to find one answer. The bot made all of that instant. No more putting a prospect on hold to hunt something down.
Fully lifecycle in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Steerlab handles the entire RFP process end to end from the moment one lands in your inbox all the way through final submission. Import, draft, review, collaborate, export. Everything lives in one place, with no gaps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Word support is solid for most use cases, but edge cases involving complex formatting sometimes still need a quick manual fix. That said, a recent update may have already sorted this out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before this, the RFP process was scattered across multiple tools, each stage living somewhere different. Things constantly fell through the cracks. Steerlab brought it all under one roof.
Excel Import that doesn't break
What do you like best about the product?
I threw a 500 question Excel file with merged cells and multiple tabs at Steerlab expecting it to choke. It imported everything perfectly and even mapped the columns correctly. No other tool we tested managed that.
What do you dislike about the product?
No presentation generation feature. After big RFPs we often need a summary deck and that part is still fully manual.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hours lost reformatting Excel questionnaires into something our old tool could actually read. Steerlab just takes the original file and works with it.
