Manifesto

no
giga­factories,
giga-SMEs!

Let's revive industry by equipping thousands of SMEs with: automation tools, a pinch of AI and efficient processes.

At stake: + jobs, + trades, + local, + exports, + sustainability, + margin, + expertise, + talent
= artisans and SMEs that become world leaders.

Who it's for

The SME owner who wants to grow the business without waiting for a big IT project.

The curious technician who wants to equip their workstation, and their team's.

Anyone who installed Claude Code and wants to unleash its potential.

The toolbox

01

The club

The ones who do the same. A community of owners and technicians involved in SMEs, meeting to share what works, and what doesn't. No judgment, no level required: you start with a meetup.

02

The utilities

Small tools that change a workstation by tomorrow morning: one hour saved every day, no project, no budget, no meeting. A curation maintained in the field.

03

The audit

See a workstation as it really is. In a few hours, LeanFlow captures the strong and weak signals of a process, in the office or on the shop floor, and maps the IT tools actually in use. Built in the field.

04

The memory

The company's knowledge, out of heads and inboxes. Obsidian plus an AI assistant: the owner starts with their own knowledge, then the shop floor, quality, marketing and customer service join in.

05

The plumbing

An automation and prototyping server that complements your existing IT instead of replacing it. The piping that connects legacy systems, and the test bench for whatever comes next.
