Useful AI for SMEs, on solid foundations

Above the fog, the numbers regain clarity.

Intellencia builds AI tools that save SMEs time, without putting their data at risk.

Julien Bédouret, founder · Poitiers, France

§ The fog

AI is worth nothing without a hard foundation. And the foundation is rarely ready.

Decision-making is scattered

Every team has its own dashboard, its own spreadsheet, its own version of the truth. Executive committees arbitrate on numbers they have no time to reconstruct.

Data is no longer under control

Tools have piled up. Nobody can say where the reference data lives, who produces it, or how it is refreshed.

AI promises floating above reality

Demos look great, but real usage doesn't follow. We deploy assistants that talk a lot and decide little.

Source · BCG, October 2024 - 74% of companies struggle to scale AI and capture tangible value (study "Where's the Value in AI?", 1,000 executives, 59 countries).

§ The crossing

Understand, structure, automate. In that order.

Every engagement begins with understanding before building. We don't take on work we haven't first proven creates value.

01 · DIAG

Decision-making & AI opportunity diagnostic

See clearly before you invest.

A short, dense audit to identify friction in decision-making, map the data that matters, and prioritize the automation that will actually create value.

02 · SOCLE

Decision-making foundation

Trustworthy data, readable indicators.

We consolidate sources, rationalize indicators, and build a robust decision-making foundation - dashboards, reports, and reference data that leadership and operations finally share.

03 · IA

Automation & AI on a controlled foundation

AI that decides, not AI that decorates.

We design and deploy domain automation and copilots on a controlled foundation: bounded scope, data kept safe, measured value, room to grow.
