The first specialized generative AI that saves construction professionals two hours a day

Based on expert generative AI that is unique on the market, La Bonne Réponse offers a powerful technological solution that goes far beyond simple support for renovation aid: it instantly answers regulatory, technical and administrative questions, checks and analyzes hundreds of documents, allows for costing... and assists users in their daily tasks.

A tense market and overwhelmed professionals

The growing complexity of administrative procedures is a significant obstacle for tradespeople. To operate, tradespeople must master 280 regulatory texts, with 60 changes per year relating to energy renovation alone. This is a daunting and difficult-to-understand task, resulting in the rejection of one in two aid applications.

Furthermore, these administrative obligations lead to extra work for craftsmen, 19% of whom report working more than 60 hours per week. Nearly half of business leaders estimate that they spend 26 to 75% of their time managing administrative tasks[1].

A unique generative AI 100% dedicated to energy renovation

To respond precisely and rigorously to the requirements of building professionals, La Bonne Réponse relies on an advanced technological infrastructure, designed for field use:

• Proprietary and secure knowledge base: administered by internal teams, this base is structured, constantly updated and contextualized to integrate the latest regulatory developments.
• Automated regulatory monitoring: an intelligent monitoring system scans hundreds of official sources every night (RAGE, CEE, MaPrimeRenov' guides, ADEME guides, etc.) using a “crawler” (document exploration robot), identifies relevant changes, and measures their concrete impact on business use cases.
• Quality control via an internal dataset: a massive dataset of 500 questions allows for continuous testing and validation of the relevance of the responses produced by the AI, guaranteeing their reliability.
• Continuous improvement through fine tuning: user feedback and the weekly organization of "AI Cafés" with professionals fuel continuous improvement work carried out by the product team, to refine responses based on feedback from the field.
• Key features from field feedback: La Bonne Réponse integrates practical features such as voice command, text-to-speech, response sharing and document scanning, directly based on the needs expressed by professionals.

Tailor-made business AI for construction professionals

Unlike a general LLM (Large Language Model) whose updates are old and irregular, La Bonne Réponse is designed specifically for the realities of the construction industry:

• The Right Answer is based on up-to-date, verified, and contextualized data by experts, not on public, unverified, and often outdated data.
• Construction professionals are not experts in formulating prompts or questions: to help them, the tool integrates click-prompts and a context trainer which guides them step by step to obtain an answer perfectly adapted to their needs.

In an industry where guesswork can be costly – in cash flow, in quoting errors, in customer satisfaction – The Right Answer guarantees essential accuracy.

For Guillaume Loizeaud, President and founder of La Bonne Réponse: "The Right Answer is the meeting of artificial intelligence and human expertise in the field. We designed this tool to offer professionals a reliable solution, both fast and rigorous, on which they can truly rely on every day."

Thanks to the use of this generative AI, administration is no longer an issue.

• An accurate estimate of the work, from the first meeting with the client, in just a few minutes in voice mode.
• Aid is calculated to the nearest euro, while taking into account regulatory updates.
• Compliance of quotes checked in seconds, with an alert issued in the event of an error.
• Real-time access to all technical and regulatory information.

A tested and acclaimed solution

Already used by more than 1.200 professionals since its launch, La Bonne Réponse has demonstrated its relevance to many profiles.

Whether they are craftsmen or specialized distributors who support professionals in their assistance efforts, the first users highlight the following advantages:

• Saving an average of 2 hours per day
• Reliability of information, reinforced by daily updates
• The smooth and reassuring user experience

Among the early adopters, Capeb has already trained 110 Renovation Craftsmen Referents and mobilized as many ambassadors to deploy the tool to its members. It is preparing to roll out the tool to all its member craftsmen.

Furthermore, La Bonne Réponse is also used by distributors such as Gedimat or Saint-Gobain Distribution Bâtiment France (La Plateforme du Bâtiment).

Ambitious prospects

In response to a constantly evolving sector, La Bonne Réponse plans to extend its functionalities to other major building issues in order to continue to equip those building the energy transition and help them develop skills on these high-stakes issues.
