How CERAP answers a major RFP in 1 day instead of 3
See how CERAP’s engineering teams turned 3 days of RFP analysis into just 1, with cobl’s secure AI agent platform built for precision, control, and collaboration.

CERAP Prévention’s story
Learn more about Cerap Prévention
In the nuclear industry, every document is critical: RFPs, technical memorandums, and compliance dossiers often exceed 200 pages. At CERAP Prévention, a leader in nuclear engineering and radioprotection, these documents decide which contracts get won, and they are time-consuming to produce.
To streamline this process, CERAP’s engineering teams partnered with cobl (formerly Thinkeo) to automate parts of their RFP analysis and document preparation, without compromising accuracy or traceability.
Led by Eric Hénon, Director of Subsidiaries and Development, the collaboration began as an experiment to test whether AI agents could help engineers focus on value-added work rather than repetitive document review.
200-Page RFPs and Repetitive Content
Discover the challenge
Every week, CERAP engineers respond to complex RFPs requiring deep analysis of technical and regulatory requirements.
“About 50 to 60 percent of the content is always the same,” explains Eric. “We had to reread everything each time, verify that nothing had changed, and copy-paste carefully. It was repetitive, time-consuming, and error-prone.”
Even a small copy-paste error, a missing paragraph, an outdated clause, could jeopardize the entire bid. The goal was clear: reduce manual work while keeping full expert control and auditability.
Choosing cobl for Precision and Control
While testing several AI tools, Eric discovered Cobl’s AI agent platform.
“I used to spend 3 days analyzing RFP. With Cobl, the analysis and the response are done in a click, I can now focus on what really matters: how CERAP can best respond to the client.”

Before cobl, sensitive RFPs couldn’t be analyzed through public AI tools, forcing teams to print and annotate documents by hand.
“I used to spend three days analyzing a major RFP,” says Eric. “With cobl, the analysis and synthesis are done automatically, I can now focus on what really matters: how CERAP can best respond to the client.”
On average, what once required 3 full days now takes just 1, a 66% time reduction per RFP, while improving consistency and traceability across projects.

Fewer manual errors from copy-pasting
Centralized knowledge sharing for RFP responses
Engineers focused on value, not repetition
“cobl lets me concentrate on the client’s real needs instead of highlighting pages for hours,” Eric adds.
“The next step is to integrate Cobl directly into our company intranet. Anyone who needs to analyze a tender or prepare a technical document will be able to use it securely, without being an AI expert or knowing how to code.”
