# Generate Responses

The **Generate** tab in the Ensis for Word allows you to quickly draft responses to proposal requirements by leveraging AI and your organization's stored Resources. Follow these steps to generate high-quality responses directly within Microsoft Word.

## Step 1 - Open the "Generate" tab

In Microsoft Word, open the Ensis Add-in side pane. Click the **Generate** tab.

## Step 2 - Select a requirement

In your Word document, highlight the requirement text for which you want to generate a response using AI and your company knowledge base. The highlighted text will appear in the Ensis side pane.

## **Step 4 -** Insert or Copy the response into your proposal

Once the response is generated, you have two options:

* Click **Insert** to place the response directly into your document at the cursor’s location.
* Click **Copy** to copy the response to your clipboard and paste it manually.
