Supported File Types for Smart Response
Smart Response is a first-of-its-kind generative AI solution integrated into the CENTRL platform that transforms how you handle incoming assessments. This feature will significantly reduce the time spent on assessment responses as it automatically extracts answers from your existing documents (policies, reports, etc.) and previously completed assessments.
Note: This feature is not available by default. If interested, please reach out to your Account Manager or contact Support.
