Summary
French Customs has deployed Diane, a generative AI platform combining RAG, a business rules engine and an LLM, to help its officers navigate the customs code. Presented at a conference organised by Devoteam, Scaleway and Sopra Steria, the project relies on a SecNumCloud environment and open source components including Open WebUI and Mistral models. The speakers stressed that sovereignty requires rebuilding several technical components normally managed by hyperscalers, and that the main difficulties concern integration with the existing information system, security audits, accumulated technical debt and adoption of the tool by officers. The platform is now due to incorporate twenty years of documents from the customs intranet.
