Our story

Why we no longer build on platforms.

Four limits keep coming back on no-code and low-code platforms. Production is where you pay for them.

Faced with the limits of no-code and low-code platforms, we made a deliberate pivot to development in code.

The same limits repeat from one project to the next: hidden costs, technological dependence on the vendor, scaling that hits a ceiling, and opaque maintenance, since nobody can review what nobody wrote. None of them shows in a demo.

Since then, whatever is critical is written in code. Generative AI speeds up production, assists and optimizes, but architecture, security and performance stay in the hands of a developer.

Three years of industrial generative AI and more than sixty projects later, the rule has not moved: you are the sole owner of the source code, and there is no technological lock-in.

We work from Montpellier, in the Cambacérès district, and from Paris.

The founder

Alexandre Cougnenc, founder of Ailix Consulting.

Alexandre Cougnenc runs a generative AI training session for the HR teams of Kuehne+Nagel, October 2024.
AI training, Kuehne+Nagel HR teams, October 2024.

Ten years of consulting, and systems he builds himself.

He started in AI in 2016, at a startup building predictive algorithms to catch bookmakers out. Ten years on, he runs Ailix Consulting and still writes part of the code that ships. That is what keeps his roadmaps honest on cost and on schedule.

Along the way, in 2018, he founded a data protection consultancy. Some thirty organisations trust it with their compliance, from the city of Montélimar to TotalEnergies. The question he asks there is already the one AI raises : where does the data go, and who gets to read it.

He teaches AI and GDPR at university level, at the DJCE in Montpellier, at MOMA and ESEQ, and at Montpellier Business School. He takes the stage, from the French Interior Ministry's AI show to the Zénith, in front of 3,500 people. In 2025 he ran the workshops reserved for CEOs in the programme « 2025 : IA, on accélère ! », with Leader Occitanie and the Occitanie Region.

The team

The faces who will see your project through.

The kind of profiles large groups fight over, who ship on their own what others subcontract to three. That level is what holds a deadline without giving ground on security or maintainability. They chose to commit to SMEs and mid-caps, where an AI system that works changes the game.
