ALLONIA, our AI Saas Platform and our offers
Introduction
ALLONIA (ex. ALEIA) was founded in 2021 by Antoine Couret and now has 40 employees. Our offices are located in Paris and our ambition and activity revolve around AI projects.
Artificial intelligence has been in vogue for some time now, even though AI dates back to the 40s and 50s. Our primary motivation is to enable companies and public authorities to industrialise any AI project(s) simply by using ONE SaaS platform. That’s how the ALLONIA SaaS Platform (formerly ALEIA) came into being! And, with the development of generative AI, ALLONIA developed and incorporated an additional layer of generative AI into our platform in June 2023.
The name ALLONIA was not chosen by chance : ALLONIA is a play on the English/French word ALL ON IA. Indeed, with the rise of generative AI, ALLONIA offers EVERYTHING about AI : ‘classic’ AI and generative AI.
This article will introduce you to our platform and its specific features, our new offerings and our various partnerships and government projects.
1) The specific features of our AI SaaS Platform
The specific features of our platform : sovereignty, security and simplicity !
Sovereignty : our platform was created in France, in Paris, by our teams. We only use a sovereign infrastructure, sovereign clouds : OUTSCALE, OVH CLOUD, NUMSPOT, SCALEWAY.
Security : Our platform is involved in two projects set up with the Cyber Campus (CYBIAH and CYLVIA). This means that our platform for carrying out AI projects has been checked and validated. There is no data leakage if you use our platform or our Chat Secure offer (discussed below).
Simplicity : Our platform has been designed to make the work of data scientists and technical teams easier. The customer journey has been designed to speed up AI projects. And documentation written by our teams is integrated into the ‘documentation’ section. If required, our teams can support your teams in setting up their project(s).
When we say ‘project’, we mean group, communication and collaboration. That’s why we’ve created a platform that enables teams to manage their projects effectively.
Collaborative : management, rights management, etc. Technical and business teams will be able to carry out projects and have access according to their function and role in the project.
2) Multi-skilling
ALLONIA is an all-in-one AI SaaS platform tailored to ALL sectors of activity, such as industry, administration, banking, mobility, transport, logistics and cybersecurity, healthcare, etc.
Today, all companies want to use and implement AI in their activity(ies) or business(es). Sometimes the projects are complex, and you can rely on our experts to help you and shed light on this complicated subject.
It’s also versatile, because the platform enables companies and local authorities to implement generative AI simply and to have a conversational agent within your organisation to help your employees find answers to their questions in just a few clicks, based on internal document collections.
But generative AI has other uses too: helping your prospects or visitors to quickly find what they’re looking for on your website, in your shop, in your branch, etc. Generative AI can also rewrite or translate documents, saving you or your teams time on complex and time-consuming tasks.
3) In practical terms: how does it work ?
There are several parts to our Platform, enabling you to set up an AI project or several AI projects from start to finish. To carry out any project(s) successfully, you need to follow certain steps, a bit like a recipe !
So here are the steps included in our platform that will enable you to put an AI project into production in just a few clicks :
- Prepare and import your data (very simple thanks to the many connectors)
- View your imports and data (to see anomalies, correlations, etc.)
- Code in an integrated Jupyter notebook (can be shared with your teams)
- Call up a model according to your use case
- Create your own models (from existing libraries, models and open-source code (Mistral, Open AI, etc.)
- Test and deploy your models and versions
- Run your pipelines and plan the deployment of your project (connected APIs)
- Use the documentation provided to help you
- Give access to your collaborators according to their role in the project
- Chat Secure access
- End point access
With our platform, your teams don’t need any other tools : our platform alone can take your AI project(s) from A to Z. You can monitor your CPU / CGU consumption in real time (very practical) !
If you need to carry out a POC or MVP, that’s possible too ! Before launching an AI project, companies very often go through a POC or MVP.
As a reminder :
POC (Proof of Concept) is a simplified demonstration that an idea or concept is technically feasible. It is a basic prototype designed to validate the technical feasibility of a solution before investing more time and resources in its full development. The objectives of a POC are to demonstrate technical feasibility, identify technical challenges, obtain stakeholder approval and assess development costs and timescales. Characteristics of a POC : limited scope, minimal functionality, short development time, low level of finish.
MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is a basic version of a product that offers just enough functionality to be usable by customers. The aim is to launch the product on the market as quickly as possible in order to gather feedback and iterate on the basis of user needs. The objectives of an MVP : to test the product’s value hypothesis, obtain feedback from users, validate the product-market fit, learn and adapt quickly. Characteristics of an MVP: essential functionality, simple design, possibility of rapid iterations, ability to evolve.
in a nutshell : A POC is used to validate the technical feasibility of an idea, whereas an MVP is used to validate the product-market fit. A POC is generally smaller and simpler than an MVP. A POC is often created for internal use, whereas an MVP is intended for use by customers.
Using a POC and MVP can help companies save time and resources by allowing them to test their ideas before investing further in their development.
