🚀 Announcing Project ChatBot – Cut Your Tender Review Time Instantly!
We are thrilled to introduce
Project ChatBot
, a new AI-powered assistant built right into the Leads
feature to transform how E1 subcontractors and suppliers qualify projects.
Stop wasting time manually sifting through hundreds of pages of specs and drawings. Project ChatBot instantly surfaces key details from the tender documents, giving you the critical information you need in seconds.
Qualify projects faster and quote with confidence
Project ChatBot allows you to ask simple, plain-English questions and get instant, context-aware results.
Ask questions like:
- Who is the architect for this project?
- How many floors are in this project?
- Who is the developer or client?
- Is waterproofing included in this project?
- Where is tiling specified?
- Show me the section on fire safety requirements.
Where to Find Project ChatBot
Access Project ChatBot directly on the invitation slider for any relevant Lead.
- Go to the Leadspage.
- Open a Lead invitation.
- Click “Ask a question about this project”at the bottom of the slider to start chatting.
Important Notes
- Beta Access:Project ChatBot is currently in Beta. Please note that usage limits may apply to certain licences from November 2025 - these will be noted in the ChatBot section of the invitation.
- Project Focus:It works on aper-project basisand can't be used for confidential tenders (like defence projects).
- Your Judgment is Key:The ChatBot won't tell you how much to quote or run complex calculations. AI can make mistakes, so always use yourprofessional judgment and reviewthe source documents before making final decisions.
We believe Project ChatBot will be a game-changer for your tendering process!

📢 Hammer Down the Right Contacts for Every Invite! 🔨
We’ve made it easier for subbies to control their profile contacts and help builders connect with the right people for every tender invitation.

For Builders
As part of our continuous uplift of the E1 Network, we’re focused on making it easier to find and connect with the right contacts when issuing RFQs, removing the guesswork and ensuring invitations reach the right people. You’ll start to notice the following changes as subbies update primary contacts across their accounts, helping you manage a smarter, more connected Address Book.
- Less Address Book clutter:Only see key and relevant contacts when connecting with new subbies
- Faster, more effective invites:Get your tenders in front of the right people every time
- Improved response times:Fewer misdirected invitations mean quicker replies from the right decision-makers
