This AI assistant, called "Ally for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises," can accurately obtain and push various bid information to clients, combined with expert experience analysis, providing bid strategies. Its ability to handle bid issues is comparable to that of experienced bid managers.
The credit responsible person at Ally for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises said that bid management is the company's first in-depth service in AI applications for SMEs. In the future, it will continuously expand AI functions from bid management to enterprise inquiries, procurement inspections, and other scenarios, addressing the real pain points faced by SMEs, such as information asymmetry, insufficient professional personnel, and a lack of AI research capabilities.
Intelligent Pushing of Bid Information Enhances Business Opportunities
SMEs are an important source of economic vitality and resilience. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there are over 60 million SMEs in China, but only about 5 million have participated in bid management. It takes approximately 100 hours to prepare a high-quality bid document. Meanwhile, about 20,000 new bid announcements are released daily, requiring collection, screening, and filtering according to enterprise needs.
SMEs often lack relevant information or expert bid management personnel, resulting in analysis and strategy development being left behind. As a result, they miss many business opportunities. Ally for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises' AI bid manager function brings new possibilities to the professional field of bid management.
Ally for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises adopts the mainstream dialogue-style interaction form used by AI assistants today. Users can search for "Ally for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises" in Alipay, enter the homepage, and then use it.
In terms of bid information, Ally for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises continuously monitors and organizes bid information, combining industry, region, scope of business, and product characteristics.

Deep Analysis Ability Comparable to That of Experienced Bid Managers
In addition to intelligent recommendation and bid tracking, Ally for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises can generate in-depth analysis reports based on specific bid announcements. This is its unique advantage and the biggest difference from traditional bid services.
Ally for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises' in-depth analysis report includes project basic information, industry benchmarking, client analysis, and bidding strategy recommendations. Unlike traditional pure information search-style bid products, Ally for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises can thoroughly understand the operating businesses and needs of enterprise owners based on deep analysis, providing more accurate and detailed analysis, and offering guidance for business opportunities.

In comparison, traditional bid software cannot provide bidding strategies, while some general large models offer recommendations that are mostly vague, such as "you can replicate the bidding strategy of a certain company." The feasibility is relatively weak.

This makes it easier and more efficient to conduct bid research.
Industry insiders said that Ally for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises' current analysis and processing capabilities are comparable to those of experienced bid managers, while experienced bid managers are a rare talent in the industry, with annual salaries often reaching tens of thousands. SMEs usually cannot afford to hire such personnel.
With Ally for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, enterprises have more opportunities to participate in bids, which were previously abandoned due to lack of time or resources. This can help them seize new business opportunities.
