Why I created Angle Intelligence
I spent twenty-five years in industry. From running installations to plant management, then operations management, I’ve known what a workshop smells like, the call at three in the morning, and above all the gap (sometimes dizzying) between a beautiful slide deck and the reality of a production line. That’s where Angle Intelligence comes from.
What I saw coming
AI is arriving in industry, and I see two camps forming. On one side, those who oversell the technology: dazzling demos, promises of instant ROI, tools in search of a problem. On the other, those who freeze, out of fear of data, of jobs, of compliance, or simply because “it’s not for us.” Both miss the point.
Because the real subject is no longer technical. Technically, almost everything is possible. The subject is human: putting the right intelligence in the right place, the right person, the right tool, the right problem. That conviction gave the company its name, and it guides every one of my missions.
A firm stance: independence
I made a choice that feels non-negotiable to me: I sell no software and I hold no stake in the solutions I recommend. My only loyalty is to the result and to your autonomy. Concretely, that means I’ll also tell you, plainly, where AI has no business being: when a sensor costing a few euros is enough, when the real problem is managerial, or when the wisest move is to automate nothing at all. That’s rare in this trade; it’s precisely what makes a recommendation credible.
What I want to build
My job isn’t to make you dependent on a consultant or a software vendor. It’s to start from the floor, listen to what your teams actually live through, prioritize the use cases that matter, and make you autonomous. AI isn’t there to replace your people: it’s there to free them from no-value tasks and give them back expert time. It’s not “AI instead of us,” it’s “AI with us.”
That’s what Angle Intelligence is: someone from industry who speaks the language of the workshop, who bridges the tools and your reality, and who prefers a useful truth to a promise that glitters. Welcome. The rest of this journal will tell, month after month, what I learn in the field.
