Purpose-driven company - since 2019

Bureaucracy suffocates the most vulnerable. We're changing that.

Our story

From fundamental research to real-world impact.

Provence.ai was born at the Laboratoire d'Informatique et Systèmes (LIS), a CNRS research lab in Toulon, France. Our founders developed the document analysis methods that form the foundation of the platform today.

This scientific rigor shapes everything we do: specialized models, trained on real data, evaluated in production conditions. Every algorithm deployed at our clients' sites has been measured, compared, and validated in the field.

CEO

« When a caseworker processes a file in 4 minutes instead of 40, they don't think about AI. That's exactly the point. »

Our purpose

A mission written into our bylaws.

Putting AI in service of vulnerable people by simplifying administrative processes.

Societal impact

Every document processed means a person accessing their rights faster. Benefits, disability recognition, social aid - we reduce the time between application and response.

Responsible governance

Our decisions are aligned with our values of ethics, transparency and sustainability. The mission committee ensures consistency between our commitments and our actions.

Legal commitment

Provence.ai's purpose is written into the company bylaws. It is not a slogan - it is an enforceable, audited and published commitment.

Our convictions

Your data is not our product.

We made a founding choice: never compromise on our clients' data security. Not because of regulatory constraints - out of conviction. The documents you entrust us with contain the most sensitive situations of your users. They deserve to stay exactly where you decide to keep them.

  • Deployment exclusively on your infrastructure or a sovereign cloud of your choosing
  • No data transits through our servers, no copies, no permanent remote access
  • AI runs locally - no dependency on an external cloud service for inference

They build with us trusted AI.
