Build an RFP intake agent that reads vendor questions without losing the thread
Short summary
Build a dedicated RFP intake agent using Nylas API with its own email identity. The agent coordinates vendor questions, extracts deadlines and requirements, and routes escalations to humans—preventing AI from committing to terms without approval. Use event-driven webhooks for reliability.
- •Give the RFP agent its own email identity via Nylas to maintain thread continuity
- •Agent extracts structured data (dates, contacts, requirements) but doesn't commit to terms
- •Use webhooks and approval workflows to keep humans in the loop
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
Is this a good recommendation for you?
