Smart Suggestions: How the AI Guides Your Tendering Journey

Never ask 'what next?' again. See how our AI's Page-Aware suggestions provide the right guidance at the right time, from discovery to submission.

The End of Procurement Friction

One of the biggest hurdles for SMMEs is simply not knowing what questions to ask. On a complex platform like Tenders-SA.org, knowing which document to upload or how to interpret a closing date can be overwhelming. That's why we built 'Smart Suggestions'—a proactive guidance system that anticipates your needs based on where you are in your journey.

Understanding 'Page-Awareness'

Our AI Assistant isn't just a static window on the side of your screen. It is constantly 'Page-Aware'. Through the generateSuggestions method in our ai.service.ts, the assistant updates its capabilities in real-time as you navigate from your dashboard to a specific tender or application form.

The 4 Main States of AI Guidance

Depending on which part of the Tenders-SA.org platform you are viewing, the AI will offer tailored shortcuts to speed up your work:

  • The Dashboard (Discovery State): Focuses on discovery. It suggests: 'Show me my best matches' or 'What applications are due soon?'
  • Tender Detail (Analysis State): Focuses on requirements. It suggests: 'Am I eligible for this tender?' or 'What documents do I need to prepare?'
  • Application Form (Action State): Focuses on completion. It suggests: 'Help me write the executive summary' or 'Check for missing documents.'
  • Company Profile (Optimization State): Focuses on readiness. It suggests: 'How can I improve my matching score?' or 'Explain the impact of my BBBEE level.'

Zero-Prompt Productivity

The beauty of Smart Suggestions is that you don't even have to type. Often, the answer you need is just a single click away. This 'Zero-Prompt' approach reduces friction for busy business owners who need information quickly without becoming AI experts.

Conclusion

Digital tools should make your life easier, not more complicated. By building an AI that is aware of your context and proactive in its help, Tenders-SA.org is removing the guesswork from government and private sector procurement. Start navigating with confidence—your AI guide is already one step ahead.
