Super Archi vs JOOC (2026): Which AI for Architecture Tenders?

Reading time: 10 min — May 2026

JOOC and Super Archi both use AI to help architecture firms respond to tenders faster. But they approach the problem from very different angles.

JOOC focuses exclusively on tender response: DCE analysis and proposal writing. Super Archi treats tenders as one module within a broader AI workspace that also handles meeting reports, cost estimation, image generation, and project knowledge management.

The question is not which tool has more features. It is whether you need a specialized tender tool or a platform that covers your full project workflow.

What JOOC does well

Credit where it's due — JOOC has built a focused product for a real pain point.

DCE analysis speed

JOOC reports that it can process a 200-page DCE in about 3 minutes. It extracts project objectives, evaluation criteria, constraints, and deadlines, and flags contradictions between document sections (RC, CCTP, CCAP). The output is a structured summary sheet that supports a go/no-go decision.

For firms that respond to many public tenders per week, this alone can save hours.

Proposal writing from your own content

JOOC generates initial proposal drafts based on your firm's past writings, references, and tone. It maintains citations back to the DCE sections, which helps ensure nothing gets missed. The platform learns from the corrections you make over time, adapting to your firm's voice.

Collaboration features

Teams can share a centralized knowledge base of past proposals and templates. A dashboard tracks bid status and deadlines across active tenders.

Quality scoring

JOOC analyzes how well your proposal aligns with the DCE evaluation criteria and gives a percentage-based match score. It flags uncovered criteria and catches copy-paste errors from previous bids.

Where JOOC falls short

Tender-only focus

JOOC does one thing well — but architecture work does not stop at winning the tender. Once you win, you have meetings to document, costs to estimate, visuals to produce, and a project to manage. JOOC offers no help with any of that.

This means you need additional tools for every other part of your workflow. More tools means more subscriptions, more logins, and more data scattered across platforms.

Opaque pricing

JOOC has no public pricing. Every firm needs to contact sales for a custom quote. This makes it hard to evaluate the cost upfront or compare it with alternatives. It also typically signals enterprise-level pricing that may not suit smaller firms.

No tender screening

JOOC helps you respond to tenders, but it does not help you decide which ones to pursue. It analyzes a DCE after you have already chosen to invest time in it. There is no automated go/no-go screening step that matches tender requirements against your firm's profile, certifications, and capacity.

No project lifecycle coverage

After you submit the tender, JOOC's role is done. Meeting reports, cost estimation, technical specifications, project knowledge management, and architectural visualization all require separate tools.

Do you need a tender tool or a workspace?

Most architecture firms do not just respond to tenders. A typical week includes:

• Screening 3-5 tenders to decide which to pursue
• Writing proposals for the ones you go after
• Running site and coordination meetings that need documented minutes
• Producing cost estimates for client conversations
• Generating architectural visuals for competitions or presentations
• Searching past project documents for references and precedents

A tender-only tool solves one of these. The rest still consumes your non-billable hours.

From conversations with dozens of architecture firms, the real problem is not "tender response is slow." It is "too much of our time goes to administrative tasks instead of design." Tenders are part of that — but only part.

How Super Archi approaches it differently

Super Archi is an AI workspace where tenders are one module among several. The same platform handles:

Tender analysis — Upload a tender brief, and the AI extracts procedure type, budget, reference requirements, deadlines, and scoring criteria. It cross-references against your firm's profile to recommend a go/no-go decision with reasoning. A 15-page tender is analyzed in about 5 minutes.

Proposal writing — Draft responses using your firm's existing content library: methodology descriptions, team CVs, project references, and compliance answers. The AI matches your references to evaluation criteria and pre-fills qualification sections.

Meeting reports — Feed in meeting notes, handwritten notes, or audio transcripts. Get structured minutes with decisions, action items with owners and deadlines, and open points flagged for follow-up. A 2-hour meeting produces a final report in about 5 minutes.

Cost estimation — Input project specs and get a first estimate calibrated to current market rates and your firm's past project data, not generic benchmarks.

Image generation — Sketch-to-render, 3D-to-render, plan-to-perspective, and style variations. Architecture-specific vocabulary (plans, sections, axonometrics), saved directly to the project workspace.

Knowledge base — Centralize all project documents and search them with natural language. "List the facade constraints mentioned by the client" returns the answer with source pages, not a list of filenames.

Everything is connected within project workspaces. A meeting decision links to the tender it came from. A cost estimate references the brief it was based on. This is not six separate AI tools — it is one workspace.

Feature comparison

Pricing comparison

JOOC's "offre construite sur demande" approach means you cannot know the cost without a sales conversation. Super Archi publishes its pricing on the website, with all modules included in every plan — the difference between tiers is usage limits (AI credits, storage, seats), not feature gating.

What Super Archi cannot do (yet)

Honesty matters. Here is where JOOC currently has an edge:

• Proposal quality scoring — JOOC provides a percentage-based alignment score between your proposal and the DCE evaluation criteria. Super Archi does not have this feature yet.
• Adaptive learning from corrections — JOOC learns from the edits you make to its proposals over time, adjusting to your firm's writing style. Super Archi uses your content library for generation but does not yet refine its outputs based on your corrections.
• Dedicated tender collaboration dashboard — JOOC's interface is entirely built around the tender workflow, with bid status tracking and deadline management. Super Archi's collaboration is project-wide, not tender-specific.

These are genuine advantages for firms whose primary pain point is tender response quality.

The call: specialization or integration?

Choose JOOC if:

• Tender response is your only bottleneck — everything else works fine
• You already have tools you are happy with for meetings, cost estimation, and image generation
• Proposal quality scoring is a must-have for your process
• You prefer a purpose-built interface for one task over a broader workspace
• Budget is not a primary concern and you are comfortable with custom pricing

Choose Super Archi if:

• You want one AI workspace that covers tenders, meetings, cost estimation, image generation, and project knowledge
• You need tender screening (go/no-go) — not just tender analysis
• Transparent, public pricing matters to your decision process
• You want a free tier to evaluate the product before committing
• You are tired of juggling multiple tools and want your project data connected in one place

Consider both if:

You have a large team where some members only handle tenders (JOOC) and others need the full project workflow (Super Archi). But most firms under 30 people will find one integrated platform simpler to manage.
