Frequently Asked Questions

BidHawk AI was developed to help you quickly identify opportunities, understand gaps, and engage faster with confidence.

Here are the most common questions we get about BidHawk AI.
  • How does BidHawk AI Work?

    BidHawk AI uses Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative AI (GenAI), and AI Agents to process your data using our proprietary algorithms. We do not use your data to train our own LLMs.

    We build BidHawk AI to analyze and get you data quickly ... not to become your new ecosystem headache.

    Simply Drag-and-Drop your files, BidHawk AI does the analysis, and provides awesome reports for you to use.
  • Can I Export my results in Excel?

    YES! - Bidhawk AI analysis results can be exported to Excel for further analysis and sharing with other users.
  • Can I Export my results in PDF?

    YES! - Bidhawk AI analysis results can be exported to PDF and shared with other users.
  • Do you upload or store my files in the cloud?

    NO. Your files remain on your computer. When you drag files into the browser, we extract only the information we need and send that to the cloud AI tools for processing.
  • Is BidHawk AI Secure?

    Security is always THE #1 PRIORITY!

    We embrace and implement Development, Security and Operations (DevSecOps) practices.

    BidHawk AI ONLY runs on confidential computing nodes in the cloud. Our development and deployment processes are widely agreed to be the best approach for securely deploying software/services.
  • Will AI give me consistent results?

    NO. To be blunt ALL AI is inherently inconsistent (technically non-deterministic) and will produce slightly different results each run - even on the same question or problem.

    AI can hallucinate when processing to your requests, so it is very important to always review and properly assess ANY results from AI models (even ours).

    BidHawk AI was designed to be more consistent than your average AI tool or service - we hope you agree!
  • How much does it cost?

    BidHawk AI is a consumption-based pricing model - based on the content analyzed (simple, easy, affordable).

    We do NOT charge a subscription for the service. (Pay for what you need/use)

    Why? Our customers do not need this capability every day - but when they do... they do.
  • How do I get the best results out of BidHawk AI?

    The answer is simple...

    JUNK IN = JUNK OUT
    QUALITY IN = QUALITY OUT

    The best results when you have a consistent material (structure, information, etc.)

    GREAT Company Criteria Documents need to provide clear requirements and expectations.
    (Sellers should understand how they will be evaluated and measured - no separate entry required)

    GREAT Vendor Proposals need to address the company requirements and expectations.
    (Buyers should be delivering to the criteria, and not distract from the core requirements)

    BidHawk AI has advanced capabilities for navigating imperfect information and identifying gaps and opportunities much faster than a human could (AI is our best friend for this).
  • Why can't my existing AI tools just "do this"?

    We love this question... the answer is "it depends" on your objectives.

    Simple Answer: Summarization != Evaluation.

    IF your objective is to "summarize" documents... Then most AI tools will do a decent job at this, sometimes they are right, if you have the patience to negotiate and explain the inconsistencies.

    However, IF your objective is to "evaluate" or "compare" documents with some built in expertise that is consistently applied... then we recommend just using BidHawk AI. It is available today, was built for this purpose, and gets you the perspectives and results you need in minutes.
  • Can I run BidHawk AI within my Company? (On-Premise)

    YES!

    BidHawk AI is a containerized application that can be either configured and deployed to use your cloud services or installed and operate securely on-premise within your company.

    Specifically, BidHawk can be configured to talk to your own AI models/providers. This requires some alignment for user authentication, connection to AI models (internal/external), and localization to your environment.

    Dedicated or Self-Hosted BidHawk AI environments are only offered via an enterprise agreement.
  • What types of Files can BidHawk AI support?

    Currently, we support PDF, DOC, DOCX, and TXT Files.

    Content in images are not reviewed at this time (something we are looking at).
