Frequently asked questions
Before you call us
Another question? Write to us, and we’ll reply within 48 hours.
Are you really AI specialists?
Yes, it’s our day-to-day practice: we design and build AI features (language models, document search, computer vision), test them with real users, and keep a constant watch on models, tools and the AI Act. Our blog posts reflect this.
Do you do design, development, or both?
Both. The core team brings together two product designers, a full-stack developer, a front-end tech lead and a product strategist. We put the team together based on the engagement: research and mockups only, development only, or the whole journey through to launch.
Can you build the product, not just design it?
Yes: front-end, back-end, Webflow sites and integration of AI models into an existing product. Designers and developers work on the same team, which avoids losses between mockup and code.
Do you also help decide what to build?
Yes. Product scoping is part of every engagement: priorities, AI use cases worth the effort, what to keep for later. The AI Sprint is designed precisely to turn a vague idea into a decision.
Can you do just the UX research?
Yes: interviews, user testing, field observation, in French or English.
For accessibility, do you audit or fix?
Both: RGAA (French accessibility standard) and European Accessibility Act audits, a prioritized remediation plan, then fixes by our developers if you wish, or support for your own team.
How much does an engagement cost?
Our services have a published starting price: from €8,000 excl. VAT for an audit to €33,000 excl. VAT for a design system. After the scoping call, you receive a fixed-price quote, or a time-and-materials quote for extra capacity, with a single invoice per month.
What if we need more people?
The five leads draw on a community of 30+ freelancers in the collective. One lead remains your single point of contact, whatever the size of the team.
Do you work remotely, and what happens after the engagement?
Remote or hybrid, from Paris, Tokyo and Montréal, in French or English. At the end, you keep the deliverables and the code, and the same team can continue if needed.
Have a project in mind?
30 minutes to talk it through. You get a team proposal within 48 hours.
