Aimee J. — 4x faster proposals

Aimee is an independent design consultant based in Charlestown. She’s good at her work — the kind of consultant clients come back to — but proposals had become a problem. Each one took half a day. Scope of work, pricing rationale, timeline, case studies, tone-matching to the client. By the time she’d finished a proposal she hadn’t even been sure she’d win, she’d already lost four hours she could have spent on billable work.

She wasn’t the only one. Research from Gartner found teams using AI for proposal drafting reduced time-to-first-draft by 93%. AutogenAI’s clients reported an 85% increase in productivity and a 241% increase in bid success rates. Sketch Consulting’s managing director described it simply: “80% of the bid, done in no time.”

We set up an AI agent trained on Aimee’s past proposals, her service descriptions, and her voice. When a new enquiry comes in, she describes the project in a few sentences and the agent produces a solid first draft — structure, scope, pricing tables, and all — in about ten minutes. She edits, personalises, and sends.

Her clients have started commenting that her proposals feel more considered than before. She hasn’t hired anyone.
