What's New in InstantSam
1.0.26
October 23, 2026
Proposals - A Proposal tab on every notice holds the whole proposal: the outline, the AI draft and the drafting guides. - Pro drafts your proposal from your outline. Each section is written from what it must answer, quoted from the solicitation, and from your own company record. Where a fact only you can supply is missing, the draft says so in brackets. Prices are never written. - Watch the draft being written, read each section with the requirements it answers and the ones it does not yet, redraft a section with your own instruction, and share the draft as a Word file. Editing is on the website. - 5 drafts a month on Pro, each with 3 section redrafts. Document review - The review now runs in the background with a progress line. Leave the screen and come back: the review will be there. - Reviews read far more of each notice: up to fifteen attachments, including scanned pages and pictures, old Word and Excel files and PowerPoint. - If your team's review of a notice was written before its scanned pages could be read, the app offers to read it again with them, free. Also - The AI Bid Assistant shows how many uses are left this month. - Teams whose company has set up single sign-on can sign in through Okta, Microsoft Entra or Google Workspace.
