Tendly offers two search modes: Keyword search (free) and AI search (costs 1 credit per search). AI search understands your intent and returns more relevant results.
How to get there: Navigate to the Tenders page (click 'Tenders' in the navigation bar and select 'Tenders'). At the top, you will see toggle buttons for 'AI' and 'Keyword'. Click the 'AI' button to enable AI-powered search.
With AI search enabled, you can type natural language queries like: - 'IT consulting services in Estonia' - 'Road construction projects above 500,000 EUR' - 'Software development tenders in the UK' - 'Green energy tenders expiring soon'
The AI understands your intent and returns the most relevant results, even if the exact keywords do not appear in the tender documents.
Key differences between the two search modes: - Keyword search: Free, matches exact words in tender titles and descriptions. Use this when you know the specific terminology. - AI search: Costs 1 credit per search, understands natural language, finds semantically related tenders even when exact keywords do not match.
AI search is especially useful when you are exploring new markets, looking for cross-border opportunities, or when you want to describe what you need in your own words rather than guessing the exact terminology used in tenders.
