“Someone types your invoices in by hand.”
Document extraction
Invoices, delivery notes and contracts read and entered into your software.
AI tools for businesses
AI at work in your business.
I design custom tools for businesses that lose hours to data entry and document processing.
- Week 1 Scoping Five days to find out what to automate, and what it will pay back.
- Weeks 2 to 6 Tool in production Built, connected to your software, and put in the hands of the people who use it.
- After that Support Monitored and fixed as new cases come up.
What I build
Nine situations that come up in almost every business.
“We pay invoices we don't have time to check.”
Matching and discrepancies
Order, delivery and invoice checked against each other. Only the discrepancies are flagged.
“A file comes back because a document was missing.”
File checks
Missing documents and inconsistencies caught before anything goes out.
“Three people go through the same inbox.”
Incoming request triage
Emails and forms qualified and routed, with routine replies drafted.
“A quote takes two hours and goes out three days late.”
Quotes drafted for you
A customer's brief becomes a priced quote, ready for review.
“We pass on tenders because we have no time to respond.”
Tender responses
Your past responses assembled into a first draft.
“The answer exists, but nobody knows where.”
Internal search
Documentation, history and procedures you can query in a single sentence.
“Decisions get lost between meetings.”
Minutes and follow-up
Meetings summarized, decisions and action items extracted, follow-ups scheduled.
“The prototype has impressed everyone for six months, and nobody uses it.”
Prototype to production
A half-working prototype made reliable and connected to your tools.
Demos
Four tools I can show you.
These are demos: they show how I design a tool, not a client's actual files. Yours would be built on your documents and your rules. The screens are in French.
Recto
Supplier invoices
Invoices come in, are read and matched against the purchase order. Only the ones that don't match need a decision.
Aiguille
Incoming requests
Each message is routed to the right person, with a reply already drafted when the case is a routine one.
Sourcier
Internal documentation
A technician asks a question in plain language. Every sentence of the answer cites the document, page and date it comes from.
Cordeau
Tenders
The specification is broken down into requirements, and each one draws on past bids to produce a first draft.
About me
Always the same person at the other end of the line.
I was a senior AI engineer at LightOn, a French startup that builds AI for document search, deployed at major industrial companies and public administrations.
That was my full-time work, after seven years of building software. Today I do it for businesses that don't have an AI team.
You talk to the person who writes the code. Not a salesperson, not a project manager.

FAQ
What people ask me before signing.
So where does my data go?
You decide, and both extremes are possible.
- Everything on your own machines
- Nothing leaves your premises. Heavier to set up, slightly less capable.
- Commercial models
- The most capable. Your documents go through their provider.
In practice we mix the two: the sensitive contract stays with you, the meeting notes can go out. Document by document, decided during scoping.
Will it hold up when a case falls outside the norm?
I deliver it tested and monitored, with a way to take back control when the machine gets it wrong, and two months of fixes after go-live.
What will it really cost me?
Scoping puts a figure on what the task costs you today and what the tool will cost. The build then runs at a fixed price, with no meter of billable days running. Only AI models and hosting are passed on at cost, with no markup.
And what if nobody uses it?
I build it with the people who do the task, and they are the ones who decide what they let it do.
How long before it's up and running?
Five days of scoping, then six weeks on average from go-ahead to go-live. Scoping stands on its own: you leave with its plan even if you have someone else build it.
