An AI agency that ships to production, not slide decks

UX Design Paris is an AI agency in Paris specializing in task automation with AI agents and in building AI products from idea to production. One person, Pascal EK Loui, and sixteen Claude agents in production. Fifteen years of product work for Chanel, Dior, Accor, Carrefour, Forvis Mazars and Microsoft, before AI.

The Paris AI agency market has filled up in two years. Many agencies sell an assessment, a POC and a roadmap. Few deliver a system that actually runs in the client's business. My rule is simple. Every engagement ends with something that works on your data, or it doesn't start.

Proof, not promises. Three platforms built solo and running in production: sceniq.studio, five agents that turn a brief into a product reel in 48 hours. tondroit.fr, a legal RAG that answers questions across eleven areas of law and cites the statute. DevisGo, a WhatsApp agent that generates a quote from a voice note. Plus CallBOT ALL at Accor and MAIA at Forvis Mazars.

What is an AI agency? What it really does

An AI agency is a company that designs, connects and runs custom artificial intelligence systems for an organization: automating tasks, deploying agents, plugging a language model into private data, training teams. The line is clear. Using ChatGPT to write faster is not enterprise AI. Building a system that reads your documents, makes decisions and takes action in your tools is.

The term covers four lines of work. Here is how I approach each one.

1. Automate repetitive tasks

Anything a person does three times a day without thinking is a candidate: sorting emails, following up on quotes, copying data from one tool to another, checking invoices. The market often sells this as a chain of no-code platforms bolted together. I prefer Claude agents connected directly to your tools via MCP, with a human checkpoint wherever a mistake is expensive. Less glue between the pieces, fewer breakages when a tool changes.

2. Deploy autonomous AI agents

This is the core of the job in 2026. An agent is not a chatbot reciting the FAQ. It reads the context, makes a decision within a defined scope, acts, then reports back. Customer support that handles simple cases on its own and escalates the rest. Prospecting that qualifies a list and writes a message tailored to each account. A quote generated from a WhatsApp voice note: that's DevisGo. Sixteen agents run on my own products today. It's the most honest test I know.

3. Connect a language model to your data

A generic model knows nothing about your brand guidelines, your contracts or your jargon. The work is to give it secure access to your document base, set its tone and its limits, and measure what it answers before opening it up to your teams. tondroit.fr does exactly that across eleven areas of law, citing its sources. The same mechanism powers an internal knowledge base where every employee can query all of the company's documents in plain language.

4. Advise, audit, train

Many companies want to “do AI” without knowing where to start. The agency's role is to look at the real data, infrastructure and processes, then say what is worth doing, what isn't, and in what order. And to train teams to supervise agents, not just to write prompts. With me, that takes the form of a one-week audit and Qualiopi-certified training, eligible for OPCO funding.

The goal fits in one line: move the company away from repetitive manual work and toward steering systems that work for it. What sets one agency apart from another is how much of that pitch ends up in production.

The problem is no longer convincing anyone that agents are needed. It's getting from pilot to production. The causes of failure are rarely technical: a fuzzy scope, unprepared data, no human checkpoint. An AI agency's job is to clear those obstacles before writing a single line of code.

How I work

  1. Frame before automating. A poorly defined task produces an agent that gets things wrong quickly, and with confidence. Written brief, success criteria, input data, edge cases.
  2. Orchestrate, don't just prompt. Specialized agents, reusable skills, a checkpoint between every step. A chatbot answers. An agent acts, reports back and stops when it's unsure.
  3. Verify, then deliver. Every agent output is reviewed and tested before going live. Strategy, design, specs and build in one place.

Why a UX agency became an AI agency

UX Design Paris was a UX agency for fifteen years, ranked first on Google in Paris. Screen design on its own is no longer worth much. An agent produces it in minutes. What still carries value is framing the right problem, automating the right task and delivering a system that runs. The UX experience lives on in the method. It is no longer the product being sold.

Frequently asked questions about AI agencies in Paris

What is an AI agency?

An AI agency helps a company go from an idea to an artificial intelligence system that actually runs: identifying use cases, automating tasks with agents, building AI products and training teams. Agencies differ on one point: do they ship something to production, or a POC and a slide deck? UX Design Paris is a Paris-based AI agency made of one person and sixteen agents, with three platforms in production.

How much does an AI agency in Paris cost in 2026?

On the Paris market, an AI assessment costs between €2,000 and €6,000, an AI POC between €12,000 and €50,000, and a senior profile between €600 and €1,200 per day (Koino, 2026 AI agency ranking). With me: a one-week automation audit, quoted on request; a 72-hour AI sprint from €3,500 excl. VAT, with a working agent tested on your data; a complete product at a fixed price. Never billed on time spent.

Why a solo AI agency rather than a traditional agency?

A traditional agency puts a salesperson, a project manager, a designer and two developers between you and the result. Every handoff costs time and information. Here, one mind scopes the work, designs it, has the agents write the code and delivers. The fixed price is two to three times lower for the same scope, and you talk to the person doing the work. The limit is real too: I never take on more than two projects at a time.

What services does your AI agency offer?

Five services. A one-week assessment and automation audit. A 72-hour AI sprint to get an agent into production on your data. Business task automation with Claude agents, connected to your tools through MCP. End-to-end AI product development, from scoping to production. AI and agent training for your teams, from a Qualiopi-certified training provider, eligible for OPCO funding.

What kinds of companies do you work with?

Large enterprises building AI products under heavy business constraints: Accor, Forvis Mazars, Carrefour, the Ordre des experts-comptables. SMEs and professional firms that want to automate specific tasks without hiring. Founders who want a complete AI product without building a four-person team. Sectors covered: hospitality, audit and finance, retail, legal, construction, video.

How is your AI agency different from a UX agency?

UX Design Paris was a UX agency for fifteen years. Interface design on its own is no longer worth much: an agent produces it in minutes. What carries value is framing the right problem, automating the right task and delivering a system that runs. The UX experience lives on in the method, but it is no longer the product being sold.
