01 ~ our approach
A studio you can meet.
Choosing a provider in Annecy means you can meet. We prefer to start a project by meeting your team: understanding your business, seeing your tools at work, spotting the tasks that take time without adding anything. Artificial intelligence is then plugged in where it saves hours, not where it merely looks good.
The studio was founded in 2021, but its method goes back further: e-commerce platforms since 2010, then the technical direction of SaaS and blockchain products. A large share of our projects now involve AI: agents that handle requests, assistants that answer the phone, automations that connect your software.
