Coaching, learning, healthcare, decision support. These need AI that can model the person, adapt, and hold a relationship over time — and most can't. Your product looks polished but the interaction falls flat the moment real depth is needed.
Everyone runs their own AI agents. The reasoning behind their decisions stays buried in private chats, and shared understanding fragments into side conversations no one can reconcile.
We build the structured layer that captures how people, alone or together, actually think and decide.
We call it Human Models — and it is what we design and deploy with you, in your product or your internal processes.
We map where cognition matters in your product or your team and where gaps occur.
You leave with a diagnostic and a focused recommendation — a natural first step before a design cycle.
We embed with your team and prototype the Human Model your product or process needs.
You leave with a working system and the playbook to keep building.
We keep leaders and boards clear on what AI can actually do and what's just hype.
You always have a partner in the room when the decisions that matter most land on the table.
We turn academic research in AI and cognitive science into products. Simone, Canopy, and Nota are Human Models in production.
Scientific & Technical Leadership: Leads the scientific and technical direction at Tigo Labs, building the cognitive architecture behind Simone and other agents.
Cognitive & Affective AI Expertise: PhD in AI, with 10+ years building empathetic AI systems across DARPA- and ANR-funded research, deployed in healthcare, crisis response, and personalized support.
AI for Human Agency: Driven by a firm belief that AI can make the world more equal and humane by empowering people to become the best version of themselves.
Engineer to Product Leader: Combines deep technical craft (full-stack, APIs, AI/ML) with product intuition to build tools developers trust, businesses scale with, and users love.
From 0 to Scale: Took products from idea to revenue at both scale-up and startup stages, driving millions in ARR with adoption and expansion built into the product.
AI for Human Growth: Advocates for AI that elevates human capability, fostering deeper thinking, richer creativity, and more meaningful connections, not just faster outputs.

Director of Research
A leading researcher in multimodal interaction and embodied conversational agents, Catherine Pelachaud brings deep expertise in modeling verbal and non-verbal behaviors to create socially expressive and engaging virtual agents.
Professor
Specializing in adaptive learning systems and cognitive modeling, Domitile Lourdeaux designs architectures that account for users’ context, goals, and evolution over time, enabling personalized and adaptive human–agent interactions.
Professor
An expert in social reasoning and agent behavior, Nicolas Sabouret works on modeling emotions, personality, and interaction scenarios, with a strong focus on personalization and decision-making in social contexts.
Professor
Specializing in emotion modeling, social reasoning, and Theory of Mind, Stacy Marsella designs empathetic virtual agents capable of reasoning about human mental and social states.
We turn cutting-edge AI research into real-world solutions that support people's growth, decisions, and daily lives. We value scientific rigor over speed, and choose what's right over what's trending.
Empathy is not an afterthought, it's at the heart of everything we do. We design safe, inclusive, and intuitive experiences that center people's needs in the products we build and in how we work together.
Innovation happens where differences meet. We bring together diverse disciplines, perspectives, and experiences to create more than the sum of our parts, and grow through one another.
We take full ownership of what we build and full responsibility for its impact. We don't just follow through: we show up, we learn, and stay accountable in the real world.
Since July 2025
Supported by the French Tech Emergence program and France 2030 to build Simone, our cognitive AI coach.
Since July 2025
Awarded the Deeptech label for breakthrough innovation rooted in academic research. We translate advances in cognitive and emotional intelligence into useful, responsible products.
Since June 2025
