Oseille AI
An agent for French innovation subsidies.
"Oseille" is French slang for "money."
I launched Oseille AI during my time at Finexov, the consultancy where I built AI agents to streamline R&D documentation for public funding. The idea was simple: turn the dense, ever-changing world of Bpifrance innovation subsidies into something a founder could actually navigate. Oseille AI is a specialized agent that answers questions about French innovation grants (eligibility, deadlines, the right scheme for a given stage) in plain language.
Rather than a pure product play, I used it as a way to help founders directly. Through LinkedIn content built around the agent, I ended up guiding around ten startups through their public-funding decisions: which grants to target, how to frame their R&D, and where the common mistakes hide.
Along the way I also launched boursefrenchtech.fr, a companion resource on the French Tech grant. It is no longer maintained today, but it was part of the same effort: making opaque public funding legible to the people it is meant to serve.
