How to do it
- Collect your approved boilerplate: past performance, company profile, standard answers.
- Build an n8n workflow triggered by a file upload that splits the RFP into sections.
- Add an AI step that extracts every shall, must and will statement into a requirements table.
- Add a second AI step that drafts a response for each section using only your approved library.
- Label the output as AI-drafted and send it to your team channel for human review.
The prompt

Then draft a response to each requirement using only facts from the reference material. Where the material does not cover a requirement, write GAP and do not invent anything. RFP section: [paste]. Reference material: [paste].
