Across industries, the AI conversation has shifted from potential to practice. What once felt experimental is now embedded in daily workflows. We see it every day with our users: proposal managers automating routine tasks, revenue teams using agents to summarize complex deals, security leads validating responses faster than ever.
The gains are real, but beneath them lies untapped opportunity. Even with growing AI adoption, most teams struggle to turn what their organization knows into decisions that move at market speed. For most, the technology itself isn’t the bottleneck anymore. It’s access: surfacing the right context, applying the right data, and putting that intelligence into everyone’s hands.
That’s exactly what Agent Studio in the Responsive Platform was built for. Agent Studio turns AI from a background utility into a frontline capability that scales across teams, stays grounded in trusted knowledge, and adapts to how people actually work.
Turning knowledge into intelligence
Automation helped teams move faster. Agent Studio allows them to work smarter. It brings together the deep knowledge that already lives inside the organization — proven answers, competitive insights, and institutional experience — with trusted information from the wider world. Agents can tap into internal libraries, shared drives, or approved web sources to deliver intelligence that’s current, contextual, and immediately actionable.
That blend of internal expertise and external context creates a new kind of advantage. Teams can now build agents that go beyond answering questions to actually guide the work. For example:
A Competitive Intelligence Agent can pull the latest market positioning and feed those insights into a Win Theme Agent, which suggests differentiated messaging. A Customer Research Agent can surface initiatives from annual reports and feed them into a Proposal Summary Agent that distills relevance for executives.
Agent Studio gives teams a no-code way to design agents that mirror how they work. Each agent becomes a step in a connected workflow that spans the entire pursuit lifecycle. These workflows create a living system of intelligence that grows more capable with every use, eliminating handoffs, closing context gaps, and ensuring the right information reaches the right people at the right time.
For proposal and revenue teams, this shift changes how work gets done and what they can accomplish. Teams can now spend less time chasing inputs and more time shaping strategy: refining messages, validating claims, and aligning faster across stakeholders. Agent Studio puts that capability directly in their hands, without waiting for IT or a new program rollout.
It’s the foundation for a more connected, intelligent way to work, where knowledge moves at the pace of opportunity.
Inside Agent Studio
Agent Studio makes building with AI as intuitive as using it. Every agent starts with a simple idea: define the task, provide context, and let the platform handle the structure. Within minutes, teams can move from an idea to a working agent ready for use in Ask and across the Responsive Platform.
How it works
- Describe the task. Give the agent a name and a short prompt. For example: “Analyze uploaded RFPs for competitor mentions and summarize differentiation opportunities.”
- Refine the instructions. Agent Studio helps you shape your prompt into a clear, well-defined task. You can add details about the goal, audience, or tone, and specify any constraints or preferences before finalizing.
- Configure inputs. Add up to five file or text fields so users can supply what the agent needs to do its job, such as an RFP, competitor data, or meeting notes.
- Connect data sources. Link the agent to your approved repositories, including Responsive Content Library, SharePoint, Google Drive, or other governed sources, to enrich context and keep intelligence grounded in trusted information.
- Publish and use in Ask. Once published, the agent appears alongside out-of-the-box agents within Ask. Teams can invoke it on demand, review outputs, and continue refining through conversation.
Every agent created in Agent Studio operates with the same governance, security, and auditability that you’ll find across the Responsive Platform. Outputs are verified through TRACE Score and fully traceable to their sources. That means teams can experiment confidently by creating, testing, and improving agents without compromising compliance or control.
Over time, organizations can build portfolios of agents that form a living ecosystem of workflows that reflect their unique knowledge, voice, and strategy.

Where Agent Studio fits in the Responsive Platform
Agent Studio extends Responsive’s capabilities in every direction — creation, collaboration, and control — giving teams the freedom to design intelligence that reflects how they actually work.
Within Ask
The Agents come to life in Ask, where teams engage with the intelligence they build in Agent Studio.
Users can:
- Access and run custom agents on demand. All agents are available directly inside Ask, ready to analyze documents, gather insights, or generate summaries in context.
- Refine results through conversation. Teams can ask follow-up questions, add parameters, or adjust tone and focus without leaving the chat interface. Static queries give way to dynamic collaboration.
- Blend internal and external knowledge. Agents can pull from the Responsive Content Library, connected repositories like SharePoint or Google Drive, and approved web sources, providing a single, trusted view of intelligence across systems.
Why Agent Studio matters
The way work gets done is changing. AI is becoming an active collaborator, helping people move faster and make better calls. The promise isn’t to replace judgment but to give it more room to operate.
Agent Studio is built for that kind of work. It gives people control over how intelligence fits into their day, whether that means qualifying an opportunity, shaping a proposal narrative, or checking a security response before it goes out the door. Agents do the heavy lifting: the research, the organization, the first draft. People handle what matters most: the story, the context, the strategy.
What sets Agent Studio apart is the foundation it stands on. Every agent is powered by your trusted knowledge base and governed by the same controls that make the Responsive Platform reliable at scale. Teams don’t have to choose between creativity and compliance, or speed and accuracy. They get both.
This is where the future of Strategic Response Management is heading: people and AI working in tandem to turn knowledge into action. Agent Studio makes that future tangible, giving every team a way to design how intelligence supports their work.
