Kantiv

Kantiv (formerly Joist AI) is billed as an agentic proposal and business development platform built specifically for AEC marketers. It is designed to help develop better proposals that learn from each win or loss.

The platform extracts the firm’s tone, project descriptions, images, client history, and resumes, then organizes, reconciles, and labels the data automatically.

Data is sorted by project, personnel, client, and sector, with additional options available, bringing both high-level and detailed visibility. Marketing teams can then find critical information by content, topic, or a need tied to an RFP rather than file name, analyze incoming RFPs, generate first drafts grounded in the firm’s prior successes and expertise, and run compliance checks before submission.

Moreover, the platform is said to understand the ins-and-outs of AEC-specific RFPs and is particularly designed for AEC use cases.

Over time, the platform builds a record of a firm’s pursuit history. Teams can use it to inform go/no-go decisions, identify which markets the firm is winning in, track where project experience is aging, and spot patterns in past wins and losses.
