Five Commands That Run Your Bid Office
Type a slash command; the AI does the reading and drafting, and your team approves every change.
The Commands Side by Side
What each one is for, when it runs and what it needs from you.
| Command | Purpose | Runs | Input | Output | Your Approval |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| /search-tenders | Find tenders that match your filters | Daily 07:00, or weekdays or weekly | Sources and filters | Tender Opportunities with documents filed | You shortlist |
| /market-prices | Record public material prices | Weekly 08:00 | Your monitored items | Pricing Database > Market | Used after your own quotes and rates |
| /prepare-bid | Prepare a priced bid | On demand | Attached tender folder and interview answers | Bid Details, issues, reports | You review and sign off |
| /update-bid | Apply an addendum or new quote | On demand | Revision, addendum, spec change or quote | An Update Plan | Applied only after you reply |
| /update-pricing-database | Record supplier quotations | On demand | Attached quotations | Prices to confirm | Only approved prices recorded |
Two That Run While You Sleep
/search-tenders
Searches the sources you switch on: the open web and newspaper adverts, MyProcurement and ePerolehan, JKR, state governments and agencies, ports and marine authorities, utilities and GLCs, developers and private employers, and CIDB. You can add your own sites.
Filters cover 16 states, CIDB grade G1 to G7 with codes, Bumiputera status, value range, days before closing and words to skip. Each tender comes with why it matches, and public documents are downloaded and filed.
Daily 07:00
/market-prices
Checks public sources for the construction material prices your organisation monitors and records them in Pricing Database > Market, with current and previous price, source, location and date. The server computes the change.
Your own quotes and organisation rates still come first when a rate is built.
Weekly 08:00
Prepare-bid interview and live stages: rebuilt from the live product on a sample bid. Figures are examples; the arithmetic is exact.
/prepare-bid Starts with a Short Interview
After the quick scan, it asks 5 to 14 questions. Each has a recommended answer already picked, and Use the Recommendations accepts them all.
- Reuse a similar bid's rates, concrete and rebar only, or price fresh
- Current quarter or next quarter escalated prices
- Rebar level: mill or delivered, CIDB average, or your supplier quote
- Measurement standard, OH&P, formwork system, site access and working week
- A skipped question becomes an issue stating the assumption made
Three Ways To Run It
Generate
The full run. The bid moves through live stages: Files Received, Quick Scan, Your Answers, Reading Documents, Drawing Takeoff, Pricing, Issues, Programme and Resources, Quality HSE and Method, then Bid Ready with the RM total.
Refresh
Reruns only the roles whose comments you have answered, and reports the tender total before and after, so you can see what your answers changed.
Work in the Open Bid
Chat with the bid open. The AI edits only what you ask for and leaves the rest of the bill alone. Locked items never change.
Changes Go Through a Plan You Approve
Both update skills follow the same pattern: plan, confirm, apply.
- Line kinds: quantity, rate, note, basic price, Pricing Database record
- Current value read by the server, with proposed value, reason and source
- Up to 300 lines, valid for 7 days
- Values changed since the plan are skipped and reported
/update-pricing-database
Attach supplier quotations. The AI reads them and shows every price for you to confirm. Only the prices you approve are recorded.
Plan
Every price read from the quote.
Confirm
You approve or drop lines.
Apply
Approved prices saved, nothing overwritten.
Only console administrators and named pricing editors can change the database.
Under the Hood
Engines
Claude Bridge models run first, then your organisation's own models. The AI reads, measures, judges prices and drafts. The server parses the BQ, computes totals, runs checks, schedules the programme, scores risk and builds every Excel, Word and PowerPoint file.
Headless Start from the Desktop
/prepare-bid can start headless from the Desktop app with a signed request that expires after 2 minutes.
Lessons
Saved from each bid and applied on later runs.
Answers Reused
The same BQ answered before is not asked again.
Needs Attention
Flagged after 3 hours with no file written.
