AI email responder for defense contractors: who answers on each desk, Lisa or a person, real Zanus AI screen

Who answers

Decide per department whether Lisa answers and sends, writes for a person to approve, or leaves the writing to a person, with the response time beside it.

Easy setupSet up everything just by talking to Lisa AISee how ›

You“Contracts and export mail always waits for a person; the info desk answers alone.”

Lisa“The contracts desk now has a person writing every reply, and the info desk answers and sends alone. Apply?”

You talk. Lisa sets it up. Applied only on your yes.

How Defense Contractors use it

1

After a sources-sought notice a contracting officer's representative asks for your capabilities; the AI email assistant for defense suppliers drafts the reply for Ready to send.

2

A prime mails a purchase order with its PO number in the subject; a case opens on Orders & quotes and the mail keeps its chip.

3

A request for proposal arrives with a statement of work attached; it opens a case in the Proposal Studio for the bid owner.

REAL AI - the whole Front Office is AI, not old software with an AI button.

What’s included

  • Your own sending domain, set up and warmed for you; replies land in Front Office, not in a personal inbox
  • Drafts and answers from your approved knowledge, in the customer's language; approve each one or let it send under rules you set
  • Take over any thread and send from your own address; connect your Google or Microsoft mailbox for personal mail
  • Every thread on the customer's record; a reply stops any running follow-up and alerts the owner
  • Templates written from your knowledge; deliverability report, bounces, complaints, engagement
  • Attachments, quotes and confirmations sent from the same place; nothing typed twice

Every desk

Email automation for defense contractors, desk by desk

One desk per address

Mail to the BD, info, RFQ or contracts address lands on its own desk with its colour and count, and Lisa attaches each message to its contact.

Who answers

Per desk: Lisa answers and sends, Lisa writes and a person approves, or a person writes and Lisa never touches the reply.

Mail scope per person

Each colleague reads only the desks their scope covers, so someone outside contracts never opens the contracts desk's threads.

Reply-loop rules

After the number of AI rounds you set on one thread, the thread needs a person, with a copy to your escalation inbox.

Set-up

A shared inbox for government contractors in 2 minutes

1

Your addresses

Add the BD, info and RFQ addresses and the desk each lands on; your existing mailboxes stay as they are.

2

Your mailboxes

Each person connects a mailbox or forwards a copy, and Lisa walks through the steps one at a time with a test.

3

Your rules per desk

Tell Lisa which desks she answers alone and which wait for a person; each change shows before and after.

4

Read a week of drafts

Seven days on your own mail, no credit card, with every answer Lisa prepared, sent or held.

Questions & answers

AI E-mail for Defense Contractors: questions & answers

Does the AI send replies without anyone's approval?

Only on the desks where you allow it. As shipped, Lisa drafts the reply to a buyer and a colleague approves it; it sits in Ready to send until someone clicks. A desk such as contracts can be set so a person writes and Lisa never does. Turning on an automated email response for BD inboxes means setting that desk to Lisa answers and sends.

What happens to an e-mail about export, terms or a drawing?

It goes to a desk where a person writes. An unreadable attachment always goes to a person, an unclear reply gets one polite question first, and anything the AI must not do lands in Needs human with a copy to your escalation inbox.

Can business development connect their own mailboxes?

Yes. Each person connects a mailbox whole or forwards a copy, and chooses which folders Lisa reads: the inbox reads and proposes by default, any other folder reads or never. Every read she made is listed.

How are purchase orders and requests for proposal handled?

A PO number in the subject or a purchase order attached opens a case on Orders & quotes by itself, and a request for a proposal opens one in the Proposal Studio. The mail stays on its desk with a chip.

Is it a shared inbox for the whole contracts and BD team?

Yes. Every address lands on a desk per department; managers assign threads, an agent can take one over, overdue mail is flagged after the response time you set, and each person's mail scope can be narrowed.
