OpenAsset, a prominent digital asset management (DAM) platform for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, has launched Shred.ai, a revolutionary AI-powered proposal writing tool. This new solution is set to transform how marketing and business development teams within AEC firms manage and generate proposals, marking a significant advancement in OpenAsset's mission to streamline and enhance the proposal process. Shred.ai aims to convert a firm's extensive archives of past proposals into a smart, searchable library, enabling faster, more creative, and compliance-driven responses to RFPs.
The launch of Shred.ai enables OpenAsset customers to seamlessly integrate their existing marketing assetssuch as project images, team bios, resumes, and firm data—from their OpenAsset DAM directly into the proposal creation workflow. This integration is designed to create a unified and efficient process.
At the core of Shred.ai is its proposal library, a centralized repository for a firm's historical proposal content, which is often an underutilized resource. AEC marketers can upload their entire portfolio of past work, then use Shred.ai's intuitive search and chat interface to quickly surface high-performing content, uncover valuable insights, and generate tailored proposal language in minutes. To further enhance efficiency and accuracy, Shred.ai also incorporates compliance checks, helping AEC marketers ensure all key RFP information is covered even before the first draft is finalized.
"Our expansion with Shred.ai into AEC proposal management isn't just about adding a product. It's about solving the full set of challenges AEC marketers face every day. This marks a new milestone in OpenAsset's commitment to creating a purpose-built platform for the AEC industry," stated Jason Janicki, CEO, OpenAsset.

After nearly two decades of assisting over 1,000 AEC firms in organizing and optimizing their visual content, this launch represents a natural evolution for OpenAsset.

"We've always believed AEC marketers are among the field's most strategic and creative professionals. This next chapter is about giving them the intelligent, purpose-built tools they need and deserve to thrive. And we're just getting started," said Eric Liou, CPO, OpenAsset.
