What is Orbid AI?
Orbid AI (formerly MedStrato) is a native AI agent for medical-device bid operations. You work in an Agents session: upload tender packages, speak in natural language, and Orbid uses tools to scan, match, assess, fill, and draft. Your organization owns judgment and submission.Identity

What “native agent” means here
Orbid is not a static form wizard, a generic chatbot, or software that awards contracts by itself. It is a conversation plus tool loop for medical-device bids: domain tools for tenders, catalogs, matrices, and Excel fill, with decision support, evidence, and residuals for humans to own. Orbid can call tools such as tender scan, product match, go/no-go, Excel fill, and deliverable generation. You do not need to memorize tool ids for daily work—see What to say. Technical names are in Tools reference.What Orbid optimizes for
- Turning multi-sheet tender packages into structured requirements
- Matching a locked product to those requirements
- Surfacing deviations and residuals instead of inventing specs
- Drafting bid artifacts for human review
What Orbid is not
- A guarantee of award
- A replacement for local counsel or authorized signatories
- Perfect match when catalog data is missing
- A general office assistant outside bid workflows
