Loopio Answers the Questions. SEQUESTO Runs the Whole Bid.

Loopio answers the questions; SEQUESTO runs the whole bid. Loopio summarises the tender and answers its questions one by one, from a library of approved answers, with an AI assistant the user prompts. In SEQUESTO, answering is one part of what James, our AI bid agent, does. He also reads the tender pack and turns the key dates into tracked deadlines, assigns the work and follows up on what is missing, writes the full response, the executive summary and the cover letter, tailors CVs and references, builds the presentation from your template, fills the buyer's Word, Excel, PDF and PowerPoint files, and gathers the certificates and attachments into one zip, named the buyer's way. He drafts from any content you have, not only Q&A pairs, writes in the tender's language and shows for every answer how it was built. The company sets the stages, fields, workflows and dashboards without code, and each person works the bid their own way.

Yes. The company sets the process: stages, fields, document types and workflows, configured without code or copied from ready-made set-ups for public tenders, RFPs, security questionnaires and DDQs. It also decides who sees what: each team or person gets view or edit access to a project, a folder, a single document or a single question, a Knowledge Hub document or a dashboard, and James works inside the same permissions. Within that process, James works in the role the company defined for each person, remembers how they like to work and writes in their language. An expert who opens the bid twice a month sees their assigned questions and nothing else. Loopio sets access with four levels, from No Access to Full Access.

Yes. James drafts from your past bids, policies, CVs and certificates and shows, for every answer, the sources it used and how it was built, step by step. Every file created, moved, shared or deleted, every comment and every access change is on record with the person who did it and when, and every approval is logged. Before a bid is marked complete, James checks every requirement against the finished document and grades it as compliant, partial, missing or needing clarification. Loopio also flags AI-composed answers, cites their sources and scores their confidence; it does not show the reasoning behind an answer.

In our view, SEQUESTO. A public tender is scored on documents written in the buyer's language: plans of approach, method statements and mandatory forms. James writes them directly in the tender's language, in 30+ languages, from content in any language, so a Dutch tender can be answered from an English or French library. Loopio's Project Translations covers more than a dozen languages by translating the source document, so the team can answer and translate back. SEQUESTO runs tenders, ITTs and PQQs in the same workspace as RFPs and questionnaires.

In the EU or the US, as the customer chooses when the account is created, on every plan; the choice cannot be changed later. The AI runs in the same region, with full tenant isolation. Customer data is never used to train AI models. SEQUESTO is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II audited.

Yes, if you want to. Export the library and past responses and drop them into the Knowledge Hub, which accepts Excel, Word, PDF, images and slide decks and indexes them automatically. It isn't required: SEQUESTO drafts from any file, so past bids, policies, CVs and certificates work as they are, without question-and-answer pairs. Switching can go fast: upload your documents, walk us through your process in a one-hour session, and our team configures the aOS around your process, tone of voice, personas, properties and dashboards. It can be ready the next day, so you start on a full bid straight away. Onboarding is included on every plan.

The tools most often weighed against Loopio, such as Responsive (formerly RFPIO), Qvidian, AutogenAI and AutoRFP.ai, are built around one step of the bid: answering or drafting the questions, from a content library or with AI. SEQUESTO runs the whole bid, from the tender pack and the go/no-go decision to the submission package, in one workspace that adapts to each team and each person, with every AI answer traceable, and public tenders and PQQs handled alongside RFPs and questionnaires.
