FAQs

What is Joist AI and who is it for?

Joist AI is a content enablement platform for AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) marketing and business development teams who have historically saved boilerplate content for proposals and other project collateral in folders, on local servers, in various spreadsheets and documents, or using other outdated methods. The knowledge management tools of the past have resulted in content silos, burdensome processes for keeping content up-to-date, and inevitably, duplicated or multiple versions of the same content that can create confusion even within the most organized systems and teams.

Some firms may not have any system for storing boilerplate content and will often “hunt-and-peck” and manually parse content from past proposals each time they start a new proposal. Regardless of the firm’s current approach to knowledge management, the typical systems used significantly slow down the proposal and marketing-related content creation process. Joist was designed to streamline the proposal creation process and increase the efficiency of business development and marketing teams.

How does Joist AI work?

Joist AI solves the long-dreaded problem of having to “hunt-and-peck” through past proposals by automating content search and organization using artificial intelligence (AI); Joist provides a rich user experience to find, organize, curate and customize new, original, and proprietary content based on already owned historic content. Ultimately, Joist allows customers to win more work with less effort.

Is Joist worth the cost?

Yes, because managing content and creating proposals is necessary to run your business. Whether you manage only a few proposals a year to thousands of proposals that span multiple markets, Joist AI was created to alleviate the manual time and energy spent on producing proposals that could be supported by AI. This includes searching past projects and proposals, generating drafts, catching errors, making recommendations and sharing drafts and proposed content with your teams.

Because the average marketing team spends about 70% of their time during the first phase of proposal production searching for content, Joist AI estimates that your investment will pay for itself within the first few months of use.
