Automate RFP opportunity detection with a custom AI agent

Finding the right Request for Proposal (RFP) often feels like finding a needle in a haystack - only the haystack is constantly changing and scattered across dozens of different websites. For agencies and sales teams, the difference between winning a contract and missing out is often just a matter of timing.

If you are manually refreshing procurement portals, government sites, or corporate vendor pages, you are losing valuable time. Worse, you might be missing opportunities that don't perfectly match your manual search keywords. This is where building a specialized RFP opportunity detection AI agent with monity.ai changes the game.

Why manual RFP tracking is broken

Most organizations rely on aggregators or manual labor to find leads. Aggregators are often expensive and slow to update, while manual tracking is prone to human error. You might check a site at 9 AM, but the perfect RFP is posted at 11 AM - and by the time you see it the next day, your competitors are already drafting their proposals.

An automated approach solves three specific problems:

• Volume: There are too many portals to check daily.
• Complexity: Many RFPs are hidden behind clicks, tabs, or search forms.
• Relevance: Standard keyword alerts trigger too many false positives.

How monity.ai functions as your RFP agent

monity.ai isn't just a page refresher. It is a comprehensive monitoring tool that can act as your dedicated AI agent. By combining visual rendering, text analysis, and browser automation, it mimics a human researcher but works 24/7 without fatigue.

Intelligent filtering with AI prompts

The core power of using monity.ai for RFP detection lies in its ability to understand context. Instead of just notifying you when a page changes, you can give the system a specific prompt.

For example, you can set up a monitor on a city procurement page and tell monity.ai: "Notify me only if a new RFP is added regarding cybersecurity, cloud migration, or IT consulting, and ignore construction or staffing bids."

The AI analyzes the content of the new posting and summarizes exactly why it alerted you. This means your notifications contain actionable intelligence - like "New RFP detected for IT infrastructure upgrade" - rather than a generic "Change detected" alert.

Handling complex portals with browser actions

Many valuable RFP opportunities are not located on static pages. They require interaction. A simple scraper fails when it hits a search form or a "Load More" button. monity.ai allows you to pre-configure browser actions before the check is performed.

You can instruct the tool to:

1. Navigate to a procurement portal.
2. Click the "Open Bids" tab.
3. Select "IT Services" from a dropdown menu.
4. Extract the list of results.

This capability transforms monity.ai into a true RFP opportunity detection AI agent that navigates the web just like your sales development representative would.

Setting up your monitoring workflow

Getting started takes only a few minutes. Here is how to configure your agent to catch the next big contract.

1. Identify your target sources

List the top 10 - 20 websites where your ideal clients post their requirements. These could be municipal sites, university vendor pages, or enterprise SaaS procurement portals.

2. Configure the monitor

In monity.ai, create a new task for each URL. Choose Text or HTML mode for data-heavy tables, or Visual mode if you want to see screenshot comparisons of the portal dashboard.

3. Add your AI prompt

Don't settle for noise. Add a prompt such as: "Check for new rows in the tender table. Notify me if the description column contains keywords related to marketing automation."

4. Connect your channels

Time is money in sales. Connect monity.ai to Slack, Discord, or Microsoft Teams via webhooks. When a relevant RFP is detected, your sales team gets an instant ping with an AI summary of the opportunity, allowing them to qualify the lead immediately.

You don't need to build complex scrapers or hire more staff to widen your sales funnel. By leveraging smart monitoring, you ensure that your team is always the first to know about new business.
