Kantiv Launches AI Agents That Execute So AEC Marketing Teams Can Own Strategy

SAN DIEGO, CA, Oct. 6, 2026 – Kantiv has officially announced the launch of Kantiv Agents, a suite of AI agents built to turn an AEC firm’s institutional knowledge into action across the pursuit lifecycle, giving marketing teams more capacity to focus on strategy, client intelligence, and revenue-driving decisions.

AEC marketing teams are expected to own pursuit strategy, shape win themes, build client intelligence, and drive revenue decisions, while still producing SF-330s, letter proposals, and compliance packages on two-week turnarounds.

The role has evolved, but the systems supporting it have not kept pace. Instead, the challenge stems from systems rather than staffing. Firms hold years of intelligence in past projects, client relationships, proven win themes, and lessons from missed shortlists, but it often reaches pursuit teams too late to shape a submission.

AEC marketing must evolve from proposal production to pursuit leadership," said Rohan Jawali, Co-founder & CEO, Kantiv. "The knowledge to win more work already exists inside every firm. The problem is deploying it fast enough to matter. That’s why we built Kantiv Agents."

AI has changed the economics of AEC marketing, and each change raises the stakes for what marketing teams are being asked to do.

Polished proposal output is no longer enough. AI has made it easier for firms of every size to produce polished content at speed. As output becomes easier to produce, differentiation increasingly depends on the intelligence behind the submission, including a clear understanding of what matters to the client.

Similarly, when every submissions start to look the same, brand becomes the differentiator: a distinctive voice, a consistent visual standard, a firm that sounds like one firm across every office and every deadline.

For AEC marketing teams to lead through these shifts, they need systems that put decades of market knowledge to work while giving their people the time and capacity to apply it.

Kantiv Agents launches with three groups of agents, each built to address one of these shifts directly

Kantiv Data Agents: keep firm knowledge accurate and deployable.

Project history tagged on arrival. Personnel expertise and project narratives captured through structured conversations before they walk out the door. Every proposed update cited and routed through human review before anything is written. The knowledge base does not decay as the firm grows. It compounds.

Kantiv Brand Agents: make athe firm's standards enforceable on every submission.

‘Style Guide Agent’ reads every draft before it leaves the building, flags off-brand language inline, cites the rule it broke, and suggests a fix while the work can still be changed. ‘Image Compliance Agent’ checks every visual before the document goes out. Brand consistency no longer depends on reviewer availability. Consistency stops depending on who has time to review the draft.

Kantiv Insights Agents: turn a firm's pursuit history into pursuit decisions.

‘Client Intelligence Agent’ synthesizes every RFP a client has issued and every proposal the firm has submitted into a structured report before the pursuit opens. ‘Go/No-Go Agent’ (coming soon) surfaces a data-backed recommendation before the team commits time and capacity. ‘Win Theme Agent’ (coming soon) turns client priorities and the firm's proven strengths into clear themes that guide the pursuit story from day one.

Each agent run feeds the firm's AEC knowledge graph, so the agents grow more accurate and each pursuit strengthens the next.

Your best proposal managers shouldn't have to spend their best hours on production. Kantiv Agents give them back the time to focus on what they do best: turning firm knowledge into pursuit strategy.
