Paul, Your Proposal Partner
How Paul helps you create proposals faster.
What Paul does
Paul is the built-in assistant that appears when you create a new proposal. He asks a handful of questions about the job (usually four to seven: dates, running order, who is on stage, recording, venue access, the client contact and your team), then drafts the section content from your answers.
Paul is designed to get you from a blank proposal to a polished first draft in minutes, not hours. Once the proposal exists, you can bring him back at any time to rewrite a section or the whole proposal.
Sections Paul handles
Paul drafts content for the following sections:
- Cover: headline, subheadline, event dates, and venue
- About Us: pulled from your saved company bio in Settings
- Specially Prepared For: a short personal note to your client contact
- Executive Summary: the whole proposal in two or three short paragraphs
- Understanding: what the client needs, written from what you tell Paul
- Technical Specification: what you will provide, room by room. With a CRM quote attached, Paul describes the real kit list; without one, he describes it by function for you to check
- Timeline: the schedule, using only the times you gave him
- Text: written to match the section's title in your template
- FAQ: a few questions specific to this job, added alongside your saved FAQs
- Team: the people you choose (both users and Team Profiles)
- Accept: a short close saying what accepting confirms and what happens next
Sections Paul does not handle
Some sections require your direct input and are left for you to fill in:
- Quotation: you fill in pricing yourself in the editor
- Gallery: you upload your own images
- Video: you add your own media
- Case Studies, Testimonials, Big Numbers, Small Print: these show your saved content from Settings. Paul can see what is there and writes around it, but never edits or invents it.
Paul and templates
When you select a template before starting, Paul uses those exact sections in that exact order, with the titles you gave them.
Sections in the template that use a saved snippet are locked. Paul leaves their text and images exactly as you saved them, and writes the rest of the proposal so that it fits around them.
If you do not select a template, Paul chooses a structure to suit the event type and tells you which sections he has used.
Paul and team members
Paul can see all your team members, including both user accounts and Team Profiles added in Settings. When the proposal has a Team section, he asks who should appear and who the client should call first.
Ask Paul to rewrite
Once a proposal exists, whether Paul wrote it or you did, you can ask him to rewrite it. He knows the job, reads the whole proposal, and remembers the conversation you had with him when he first wrote it, so a rewrite keeps to what you told him.
One section
Open a section in the editor and click the Paul button (the sparkle) at the top of the panel. Tell him what you want, for example “make this shorter”, “more formal” or “more about what the client is worried about”. He rewrites only that section and uses the rest of the proposal so it fits and does not repeat itself.
The whole proposal
Click the Paul button in the top bar of the editor. For example: “too friendly, keep the same information but make it more formal”. He rewrites the sections the request is about and leaves the rest alone.
Check it, then use it
Paul shows you the rewrite before anything changes. Choose Use this to put it into the proposal, Try again for a different version, or keep chatting to tell him what to change.
Paul can rewrite the wording of:
- Specially Prepared For, Executive Summary, About Us, Understanding and Text sections
- Technical Specification blocks, Timeline items and your proposal's own FAQs
- Quotation notes and the Accept section
- The subtitles and introductions of Case Studies, Testimonials, Big Numbers and Video
He changes words only. He keeps every fact that is already there (names, dates, times, kit and people) unless you tell him otherwise, and he never changes prices, line items, images, videos, documents, your team or the layout. He does not add or remove sections or items, and he cannot rewrite the Cover, Team, Gallery or Small Print.
- Snippets: if a section is linked to a saved snippet, using Paul's rewrite detaches it from the snippet. Your saved snippet does not change.
- Sent proposals: your client keeps seeing the last published version until you click Publish Update.
- Accepted proposals are locked. Revert the acceptance first if you need to change one.
