The facts: On 3 September, the Banque de France published the results of its survey, run from February to April 2026 across some 7,000 companies with at least 20 employees, in industry, construction and market services. 67 % say they use generative AI, rising to 83 % among those with more than 1,000 employees. But 74 % use it mainly in support functions, and only 14 % in production activities.

Codito's analysis: Adoption is won; transformation is not. Only 31 % of the companies using AI report a productivity gain. The tipping point is no longer access to the models, which cost a few euros per person per month. It is integration: as long as AI stays a tab open next to the work, it produces individual comfort that never shows up in the accounts. The day it is plugged into the process itself — the quote, the client file, the order — the gain becomes measurable. And that is precisely where projects stall: integration with existing systems, data quality, security.

What it means for you: The test comes down to a single question: is one of your business processes running on AI today, in production, with someone accountable for it? If the answer is no, you are in the 67 %. Take the process that costs you the most, measure it this week, and you have your starting point.

This is the news I wanted to announce myself. As of this week, Codito has a technical director.

Raphaël Zerbib Chief Technology Officer •  26 years old, an engineer, qualified in cybersecurity. •  Specialist in bespoke business software with AI built in. •  Takes technical charge of our new clients' projects.

Raphaël is an engineer of rare technical calibre, and he brings something few profiles combine: he builds bespoke business solutions with AI built in, and he is qualified in cybersecurity. In practice, security is no longer a layer added at the end of a project. It is set from the architecture onwards, on every solution we deliver from now on.

That is precisely the road that separates the 67 % from the 14 % in section 01.

AI ALONGSIDE THE BUSINESS ✖  One subscription per person, everyone with their own use ✖  Your data goes off to a third-party vendor ✖  No visible gain in the accounts

AI INSIDE THE BUSINESS ✓  A tool plugged into your process ✓  Controlled hosting and access, security by design ✓  A gain you can measure

What his arrival changes for you: Codito is moving up a gear on development. Projects we would once have scoped over three months, we now take on with technical leadership in-house, from the first workshop through to going live.

An example of what we already deliver at that scale:

📋  Client snapshot · PNP Agency

International luxury group, producer of point-of-sale materials, operating across 4 countries between China and Europe, 30 M$ in annual revenue. Strategic AI audit carried out by Codito. •  8 major friction points identified and costed •  €185,000 to €215,000 a year of recoverable time •  12 solutions delivered in 3 phases

Our method rests on practices certified by Anthropic, the world leader in AI. The code and the data remain yours.

⏱  Your 30-second diagnostic ☐  You have a precise need in mind, but no software on the market really answers it? ☐  Your data is too sensitive to end up in a consumer tool? ☐  You want to own what gets built? Two yeses or more? That is exactly the kind of project Raphaël takes on.

The next step is simple: you book a call with me, you talk me through your project, and I introduce you to Raphaël. He is the one who will build it.

Or first see what we build bespoke

The team came back on Monday. August was quiet on the outside and dense on the inside: we spent the month building the structure that lets us absorb what comes next, Raphaël's arrival included.

As a result, the first week of September opened with new projects signed. That is the best way to start the autumn: not with intentions, with purchase orders.

If you are restarting your own projects this week, one piece of advice that costs nothing: block out now the September slots you want to devote to your substantive work. They will be taken by something else within a fortnight.
