Template generation in action

Generate templates directly from your conversations with Kowalah

Making effective buying decisions requires more than just good conversations—it requires structured documentation that builds confidence, aligns your stakeholders, and creates a clear decision trail. Kowalah provides specialized templates for each stage of your buying journey, designed specifically for the unique challenges of AI procurement.

​
Why Templates Matter in Your Buying Decisions

When purchasing AI technologies, organizations face several challenges that our templates help address:

  • Knowledge gaps: Most organizations lack specialized expertise in AI evaluation
  • Stakeholder alignment: Technical and business stakeholders need common ground for discussions
  • Decision complexity: AI decisions involve numerous technical, business and governance considerations
  • Audit trails: Organizations need clear documentation of why specific decisions were made
  • Implementation pitfalls: Smooth handoffs between selection and implementation require structured planning

Kowalah’s templates build on best practices from successful AI implementations, helping you avoid common pitfalls and accelerate your decision-making process.

​
How Our Templates Work

Kowalah makes template creation conversational and context-aware:

  1. Start from guided prompts in your dashboard using one of our pre-defined tasks
  2. Discuss specific requirements with Kowalah to tailor the template to your needs
  3. Generate a complete template with guidance on how to use it effectively
  4. Save to your project for future reference and team access
  5. Iterate and refine through further conversation

Each template includes not just the structure but also guidance on how to complete it effectively for your specific AI procurement context.
