Artificial Intelligence Transparency
In accordance with European Regulation 2024/1689 (AI Act) — Article 50
1. Provider identification
2. Risk classification
Limited risk
AO Copilot is classified as a limited-risk AI system within the meaning of Regulation 2024/1689. It is subject to the transparency obligations of Article 50.
AO Copilot is not a high-risk AI system. It does not make any automated decisions that have legal effect on users.
3. Purpose of the AI system
AO Copilot uses artificial intelligence to:
- Analyze Tender Consultation Documents (DCE) in the BTP sector
- Extract structured information (deadlines, criteria, risks) from PDF documents
- Generate summaries, checklists, and decision-support scores (Go/No-Go)
- Produce exportable analysis reports (PDF, Word)
- Assist in drafting technical memos through AI suggestions
4. AI models used
| Function | Model | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| Document analysis, summary, scoring | Claude Sonnet | Anthropic |
| Fallback (Anthropic unavailability) | GPT-4o | OpenAI |
| Embeddings (semantic search) | Mistral Embed | Mistral AI (EU) |
| OCR (text recognition) | PyMuPDF + Tesseract | Open source |
5. Data processed
Inputs: PDF documents uploaded by the user (DCE, CCAP, CCTP, RC, DPGF, etc.)
Outputs: Structured summaries, checklists, scores, reports — generated by AI and clearly labeled as such.
Storage: Documents are stored on Scaleway Object Storage (Paris, France) in accordance with GDPR. Embeddings are stored in PostgreSQL with pgvector.
No retraining: Your documents are never used to train or improve AI models. They are only processed for your analysis.
6. Known limitations
- • AI may produce interpretation errors on poorly scanned documents or those with low OCR quality
- • Scores and recommendations are indicative and do not replace the human expertise of a lawyer or engineer
- • The AI has no access to external sources (no Internet access, no external databases)
- • The quality of the analysis depends directly on the quality and completeness of the documents provided
- • The analyses are based on French public procurement law and may not apply in other jurisdictions
7. Human oversight
All AI analyses are presented as decision-support tools. The user retains full responsibility for the final decision (Go/No-Go, response to the tender). No automated action is taken without explicit user validation.
8. Your rights
In accordance with the GDPR and the AI Act, you have:
- Right to information: this page informs you about the use of AI in our services
- Right of access: you may request the history of AI analyses performed on your documents
- Right to deletion: you may delete your documents and analyses at any time
- Right to object: you may refuse AI processing of your documents
- Right to explanation: you may request explanations of AI analysis results
To exercise these rights, contact us at dpo@ao-copilot.fr
9. Traceability and audit
Each call to the AI system is logged in an internal audit registry including: the model used, date and time, number of tokens processed, latency, and an anonymized identifier. This registry is kept in accordance with our legal obligations and is available upon request to the competent authorities.
