Kantiv Launches AI Agents to Streamline AEC Proposal Process

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 07, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Kantiv, a pursuit intelligence platform for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) marketing and business development teams, has launched a suite of AI agents designed to streamline the proposal process. These agents aim to free up AEC marketing teams, allowing them to focus more on strategy and client intelligence rather than production work.

According to Rohan Jawali, Co-founder and CEO of Kantiv, the role of AEC marketing teams has evolved significantly. They are now expected to own pursuit strategy, shape win themes, and build client intelligence, while still producing standard documents like SF-330s and letter proposals on tight deadlines. However, the systems supporting these teams have not kept pace with the changes.

The launch of Kantiv Agents marks a shift in the economics of AEC marketing. AI has made it easier for firms of all sizes to produce polished content at speed. Differentiation now depends on the intelligence behind the submission, including a clear understanding of what matters to the client. As submissions start to look alike, brand becomes the differentiator: a distinctive voice, a consistent visual standard, and a firm that sounds like one firm across every office and every deadline.

Kantiv Agents are designed to address three key shifts in the AEC marketing landscape. The first group, Kantiv Data Agents, keeps the firm's knowledge accurate and deployable. These agents capture personnel expertise and project narratives through structured conversations and ensure that every proposed update is cited and routed through human review. The knowledge base does not decay as the firm grows; it compounds over time.

The second group, Kantiv Brand Agents, ensures that a firm's standards are enforceable on every submission. The 'Style Guide Agent' reads every draft before it leaves the building, flags off-brand language inline, cites the rule it broke, and suggests a fix while the work can still be changed. The 'Image Compliance Agent' checks every visual before the document goes out, ensuring brand consistency.

The third group, Kantiv Insights Agents, turns a firm's pursuit history into pursuit decisions. The 'Client Intelligence Agent' synthesizes every RFP a client has issued and every proposal the firm has submitted into a structured report before the pursuit opens. The 'Go/No-Go Agent' (coming soon) surfaces a data-backed recommendation before the team commits time and capacity. The 'Win Theme Agent' (coming soon) turns client priorities and the firm's proven strengths into clear themes that guide the pursuit story from day one.

Kantiv is a pursuit intelligence platform purpose-built for AEC marketing and business development teams. Founded in 2022 by AEC marketing and technology leaders, Kantiv connects a firm's institutional knowledge, proposals, project data, client history, brand standards, and pursuit insights into an agentic system that supports teams across the pursuit lifecycle.
