The AI tools: what they are and what they refuse
Nine tools in two places, what each one reads, the rule that stops them inventing figures, and which of them nobody has ever run.
The AI on this platform lives in two places and they are not the same kind of thing.
| Where | What is there | What kind of tool |
|---|---|---|
| /aba-ai | Assess, Analyse a document, and five generators: proposal, business plan, pitch deck, financial model, market research. | You give it an address or answer its questions, and it writes you a document. |
| /account | Bid readiness, buyer intelligence, and the match scout. | It reads records this platform already holds and reports on them. These are called agents on the site. |
The rule that runs through all of them
What each tool costs
There are three separate meters and it is worth knowing which one is going to stop you.
| Meter | What it limits | Where it stands today |
|---|---|---|
| Your plan | Whether a tool runs for you at all. Each tool has a feature key your plan either carries or does not. | Assess is on the free tier. Everything else needs Insider. See Accounts and plans. |
| A daily allowance | How many AI requests you may make in one day across every tool, counted from midnight UTC. | Insider carries 200 a day. An account with no plan falls back to the platform default, which is 10 a day on this deployment. A cached answer and a refusal both cost you nothing. |
| AI credits | A separate balance that four actions can spend: Assess, the clarification drafter, the assessment export and a requirement checklist. | Credits can be granted by staff. Buying them yourself is not switched on, because it needs the payment path that is dormant. If your plan carries the feature, that action is free and no credit is spent. |
Every tool, and how much it has actually been used
This table is the most useful thing on this page, so it is not buried. It was measured against the call ledger on 7 September 2026. Three of these have never been run by anybody at all, and four more have never been run by a member. That does not mean they are broken. It means nobody has found out yet, and if you use one you should expect rough edges nobody has seen.
| Tool | Plan | Runs by members, ever | Its page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assess | Free tier | 12, by 5 members | Assess |
| Bid readiness | Insider | 2, by 1 member | Bid readiness |
| Proposal generator | Insider | 0 | Proposal generator |
| Pitch deck builder | Insider | 0 | Pitch deck builder |
| Business plan writer | Insider | 0 | Business plan writer |
| Market research | Insider | 0 | Market research |
| Financial model | Insider | 0, and 0 by anyone at all | Financial model |
| Buyer intelligence | Insider | 0, and 0 by anyone at all | Buyer intelligence |
| Match scout | Insider | 0, and 0 by anyone at all | Match scout |
What is not there, and do not go looking for it
If a tool refuses you
A refusal on this platform is meant to be readable. There are four kinds and it is worth telling them apart before you report a fault.
- Not on your plan. The page loads, names the feature, describes it, and links to /pricing. No run button is drawn, so nothing can be spent by accident.
- Not signed in. A card reading "Sign in to use", with a
Sign inand aCreate an accountbutton and no input box. - Not enough to work from. The tool ran, found too little in the records, and says what it searched and what it found rather than writing a report out of nothing. This is a correct result.
- Out of allowance. You have made your day's AI requests. It resets at midnight UTC.
