About
A winding path. A straight method.
Automata starts with Julien Gaichet. This is where our way of working comes from, and what helps me stand by it.
My career has not followed a straight line, and that is precisely its strength. I have worked across several industries and seen very different ways of running a business. That variety now helps me understand a company’s work, constraints and habits quickly, before thinking about the tool.
The rule I kept from quality assurance
“It works” is not the same as “it is reliable”.
How we work
Five commitments that apply to every project, large or small.
- 01
We start from your day-to-day
Before talking about solutions, we look at how the work actually gets done: who types what, where, and how many times.
- 02
We keep your tools
We build around what you already use. We will not ask you to change software without a very good reason.
- 03
We move in small steps
A first useful improvement, quickly, rather than a big project that delivers nothing for months.
- 04
Your team stays in control
Important steps are still approved by a person, and you understand what has been built.
- 05
We tell it like it is
If a problem is not worth the effort, or if an existing tool is enough, we will say so.
Behind the scenes
My AI teammates
These AI agents help me plan, build and test with a broader perspective. I lead the work and remain responsible for every decision.
