Shred FAQs

OpenAsset Shred is an AI proposal tool for architecture, engineering, and construction firms that helps teams draft RFP responses using their own past proposals, project data, and approved content.

Shred can help teams find and reuse relevant past answers, project experience, resumes, and supporting content for SF330 responses. It does not automatically fill out SF330 forms, but it helps proposal teams move faster by surfacing the trusted content they need to complete them.

OpenAsset Shred is powered by Claude from Anthropic. Your customer data is never used to train public AI models, and Shred is designed so your firm’s content stays isolated to your instance.

Shred works best on the foundation of OpenAsset Source, our digital asset management system (DAM) where your firm’s project photos, people data, proposal content, and past-performance materials are already organized and searchable. Because Shred is built to draw from your firm’s own OpenAsset content, it is packaged as part of the OpenAsset platform rather than as a standalone generic writing tool.

Generic AI writing tools can produce polished language, but they are not grounded in your firm’s actual proposals, project history, people, or win themes. Shred is built for relevance over rhetoric: it helps teams draft responses from the content and data your firm already trusts, so proposal writing starts from what is accurate, on-brand, and proven to win.
