One platform. Two layers.
Beyond RFP.
One workflow into a governed knowledge base that runs sales. Respond finishes the RFPs, DDQs and security questionnaires in front of you, with speed and control. What it learns doing that becomes the layer everything else answers from.
Start with the job that is hurting. The knowledge outlasts it.
Respond
RFX questionnaires. DDQs. Security questionnaires. This is where you want to go. Proposal, security and diligence teams get a first draft they can defend, not a chat window.
Tribble Brain
Approved knowledge under everything you do. One layer with source, owner and permission context, for teams answering high-stakes questions across sales, marketing, partnerships and ops. It underpins RFP automation too.
The workflow
Same RFP, very different endings.
Intake to approval looks like every other tool. What happens to the answers afterward is not.
- 1
Intake
The buyer’s RFP, DDQ or security questionnaire becomes one reviewable project.
- 2
First draft
Source-cited answers from approved knowledge, with a confidence level on every question.
- 3
Review
Uncertain or sensitive questions route to the named expert. The decision is recorded.
- 4
Approved
The packet ships in the buyer’s format, with an audit trail behind it.
Tribble Brain underneath
Every draft, edit and approval lands as governed, source-cited knowledge. The next RFP starts ahead — and sales, marketing and partnerships pull from the same layer. Generic tools stop at the draft. That is why the ending is different.
Where to start
One of these lists will sound like your week.
Respond is for
The packet is the bottleneck.
- Dozens of RFPs, DDQs or security questionnaires a year, not the occasional one-off.
- A dedicated proposal or response function, roughly five or more people writing, coordinating or reviewing.
- SMEs in security, legal, product or clinical are the bottleneck, not the writers.
- Answers leave in the buyer’s Word, Excel or portal and have to survive legal review.
- Last year’s answers live in SharePoint, email and leftover workbooks, so every packet starts from memory.
- You want one response team live first, without a company-wide rollout.
Most popular among proposal leaders
Tribble Brain is for
Sales needs the same answers tomorrow.
- Sales asks the same questions the proposal team already answered last week.
- Reps live in Slack, Teams, CRM and call recordings, not in the proposal workspace.
- Product, security and enablement publish conflicting claims and nobody can see which is current.
- Call prep is a scavenger hunt through decks instead of a sourced question with an owner.
- Leadership wants one answer layer before adding headcount to “just find it”.
- You need Slack or Teams answers with the citations and review rules the proposal team trusts.
Most popular among revenue and enablement leaders
Most teams that live in both worlds end up with both. Start with the one that is on fire this week.

FAQ
Questions answered before the call.
If yours is not here, bring it to the call.
What is Respond?
Respond is the questionnaire workflow. It parses RFPs, DDQs and security questionnaires, drafts source-cited answers, routes reviewers, and exports in the format the buyer asked for.
What is Tribble Brain?
Tribble Brain is the governed knowledge layer. Teams ask in Slack or Teams, sales uses it for prep and follow-up, and every answer keeps source, owner and permission context.
Do we start with both?
No. Start with the product that matches the work hurting now. Many teams start with Respond, then add Brain when sales needs the same approved answers.
Are reviewers and SMEs included?
Yes. Reviewers, approvers and SMEs are part of the response workflow. Sales Agent users are scoped separately when you add Tribble Brain.
What counts as a project?
One completed buyer response package: an RFP, DDQ, security questionnaire, compliance response, or similar request.
Can we add the other product later?
Yes. Start with response automation. Add Tribble Brain when sales, knowledge or other teams need the same approved answers.
What should we bring to the conversation?
A recent RFP, DDQ or security questionnaire, plus the source documents your team already trusts. If you are evaluating Brain, bring three questions sales asks every week.
How is this different from ChatGPT or a generic assistant?
Generic tools draft text. Tribble retrieves approved sources, cites them, routes exceptions to experts, and keeps a record of what was approved.
What buyers said after they bought it.
G2 awards come from verified customer reviews. Worth reading before a pricing conversation rather than after.
