What is Optim-AI?+
Optim-AI is a French artificial intelligence consulting and development firm for leaders of SMEs and mid-sized companies. The firm offers three separate services: a diagnostic to decide whether the topic deserves a budget, an audit of the actual situation with a costed countermeasures plan, and custom projects to build the selected tools.
Who is Optim-AI for?+
For leaders of SMEs and mid-sized companies, as well as executive and business-line management in large companies, who want to understand what AI changes for their business before committing a budget. No technical skills are required to work with us.
Do you need to be using AI already to work with Optim-AI?+
No. AI is often already present without anyone having decided it: in France, nearly one employee in two who uses generative AI at work has not told their manager (Ifop for Talan, March 2025). The audit starts from that reality, whether it is acknowledged or not.
How much does an audit cost?+
The amount depends on the size of the company and on what already exists, so we do not publish prices. It is given to you in writing, as a fixed fee and never on a time-and-materials basis, after the first conversation and before any commitment. The quote for a project is drawn up free of charge from the plan produced by the audit.
How long does an engagement last?+
The full audit starts at 9 days of work, depending on headcount, spread over three months at most, countermeasures plan included. The diagnostic takes two days, with findings presented within two weeks. Custom projects depend on the agreed scope and are quoted separately; you are under no obligation to go ahead with them.
Will my data go to OpenAI or Google?+
Only if you decide it should, and never without the question having been asked explicitly. The target architecture separates what stays within your information system from what can be entrusted to a third party. Solutions hosted in Europe or on your own servers are always assessed.
