- Streamlined Collaboration: Record all AI-generated question-answer pairs directly into the Google Doc, providing an editable draft for team review and finalization.
- Instant Notifications: Get real-time updates via email and Slack upon workflow completion, ensuring your team is always informed and can act quickly.
How It Works
This workflow begins by receiving an RFP document through a secure webhook. It then leverages n8n's PDF processing and LangChain's AI capabilities to extract all questions from the document. A new Google Doc is automatically created to house the draft response, pre-filled with relevant metadata. The workflow then intelligently iterates through each extracted question, consulting a pre-configured OpenAI Assistant (trained with your company's knowledge base) to generate a tailored answer. Each question and its AI-generated answer are meticulously recorded in the Google Doc, forming a comprehensive draft. Finally, designated team members receive timely notifications via email and Slack once the complete draft is ready for expert review and finalization.
