Flowcase & Joist.ai Comparison

Dedicated Resume Database
✅
Purpose built for resumes, CVs, and project history. Structured fields, versioning, and consistent data across the entire firm.
❌
No native resume or project database. Relies on whatever static documents or files you upload for AI to reference.
AI Accuracy & Data Foundation
✅
Data stays clean, structured, and vetted. AI runs on reliable source-of-truth content.
⚠️
AI accuracy varies depending on the cleanliness of your files. If your resumes and project data are outdated, the AI output will be too.
Search & Discovery for Expertise
✅
Advanced structured filters across skills, certifications, industries, locations, clients, and project history. Find the right person in seconds.
❌
No structured search for people or project history. AI can only reference what’s in past proposal documents.
Exporting to Proposal-Ready Templates
✅
One-click exports to branded PDFs, Word files, InDesign, SF330, and custom firm templates. Proposal assets are instantly consistent and ready.
⚠️
Generates narrative text but doesn’t create branded CVs, project sheets, or formatted templates. Teams must assemble final documents separately.
Content Tailoring for Proposals
✅
Enables granular tailoring of bios and case studies in seconds, including summaries, scopes, roles, metrics, and per-proposal variations.
⚠️
Can generate written content but can’t tailor structured resumes or case studies. No field-level control, formatting rules, or proposal-specific CV customization.

Flowcase is the best Joist.ai Alternative

AI Only Works With Good Data. Flowcase Gives You That Data.

Joist.AI can help write proposal text, but it can’t clean or structure your experience data. Flowcase is the system of record for resumes, CVs, skills, certifications, and project history, giving you accurate, up-to-date information your AI can trust.

When the data is wrong, the output is wrong. Flowcase fixes that at the source.

Built for People and Project Expertise. Not Just Words on a Page.

Joist.AI generates narrative content. Flowcase manages the real assets clients evaluate: your team’s experience. You get structured bios, tailored case studies, past performance history, and instantly editable proposal-ready templates.

This is credibility, not copy.

Instant Tailoring at Scale. From Search to Export in Seconds.

Flowcase lets you find the right people, tailor their bios, adjust project roles, and export everything to branded PDFs, Word files, InDesign, and even SF330 formats with one click. Joist.AI can’t manage or output structured resumes or case studies.

Flowcase turns your expertise into ready-to-send proposal assets.

Real Expertise, Not Just AI Guesswork

Joist.AI pulls from whatever documents you give it, which means inconsistent data leads to inconsistent output. Flowcase maintains a structured, verified database of your people and project history so every proposal is grounded in real, accurate experience.

It’s the difference between generated content and trusted expertise.

Purpose-Built for AEC and Consulting Proposals

One Place to Manage, Update, and Deliver Your Story

Flowcase centralizes your entire experience library and keeps it fresh automatically. No more chasing teams for updates, digging through folders, or hoping old documents are still accurate. Joist.AI doesn’t manage data, track updates, or maintain version control, leaving you to fix issues manually every time.
