Joist AI is now Kantiv. Same team. Bigger vision. Read our story →
Kantiv, formerly Joist AI, is the pursuit intelligence platform that equips Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) firms to pursue and win more work. We connect a firm's institutional knowledge, proposals, project history, and client relationships into an intelligent system that gets smarter with every pursuit.
Most AEC firms have years of hard-won expertise sitting in shared drives, old proposals, and people's heads. That knowledge should be driving every pursuit. Instead it is usually buried somewhere no one can find it when it matters most.
Kantiv exists to change that. We give AEC marketing teams the foundation they need to find the right content, build stronger proposals, and win more of the right work, without the scramble.
Kantiv connects to where your firm's knowledge already lives — past proposals, project files, resumes, client data, and more. It organizes and activates that content so your team can surface the right information for every pursuit instantly. Instead of rebuilding from scratch every time an RFP drops, your team starts from a foundation that already knows your firm. The right project examples, the right resumes, the right approach from last time, ready when you need them. Every pursuit makes the next one stronger.
Yes, because managing content and creating proposals is necessary to run your business. Whether you manage only a few proposals a year to thousands of proposals that span multiple markets, Kantiv was created to alleviate the manual time and energy spent on producing proposals that could be supported by AI. This includes searching past projects and proposals, generating drafts, catching errors, making recommendations and sharing drafts and proposed content with your teams.
Because the average marketing team spends about 70% of their time during the first phase of proposal production searching for content, Kantiv estimates that your investment will pay for itself within the first few months of use.
No. Kantiv was built to make AEC marketers more powerful and not to replace them. The expertise, relationships, and strategic thinking that make great AEC marketers irreplaceable cannot be automated. What can be automated is the scramble. The searching. The rebuilding from scratch. The chasing down of technical staff for content that should already be in the system. Kantiv handles the parts of your job that drain your time so you can focus on the parts that actually move the needle. The strategy. The storytelling. The work that wins.
Your firm's institutional knowledge is your most valuable asset. We treat it that way. Kantiv analyzes your content transiently — meaning your data is never collected, stored externally, or used to train models outside your account. Your content stays yours. We have built our security infrastructure to meet the standards that AEC firms require, and our Trust Center has the full details.
Yes. Every Kantiv implementation is configured for your firm specifically, your market sectors, your project types, your pursuit workflows, and your team's way of working. Your dedicated customer success team works with you from day one to make sure the platform reflects how your firm actually operates. The goal is not just adoption. It is making sure Kantiv becomes the foundation your team cannot imagine working without.
