What we mean when we call ourselves a manufacture

Parrit.ai is a French company that designs and builds company operating systems: the AI system a company operates on, made to order for one client and handed over as that client's property. Each commission starts with a video call with Parrit.ai. We have taken orders from large accounts, SMEs and mid-sized companies, one company at a time. Commissioned, not subscribed. Everything we publish lives at one address, parrit.ai.

We call ourselves a manufacture. In software the word usually decorates a landing page. At ours it has a price.

A manufacture starts from an order

Everything we build exists because one company asked for it. The first act of any commission is an examination: a first conversation, then a written scope or a reasoned refusal. You leave with a verdict, a written scope or a clear no. Terms come afterwards, in black and white. A workshop that quotes before it has examined is selling its calendar, whatever it says about your problem.

The work is done one piece at a time

Construction takes one critical operation and rebuilds it end-to-end, in your accounts, under your keys. Then comes the rest, piece by piece, and each new capability raises the value of every previous one: the capability that detects a commercial signal hands the case to the one that follows up on it. We call that third phase Compounding, and the whole method, from Examination through Construction to Compounding, is written out on the Manufacture.

A manufacture signs what it delivers

Each system we deliver from now on is checked against the Standard. STD-1.0 is not an accreditation. Six commitments, identical for any commission. The state of the system stays readable at any moment. Every signal carries its decision, and every decision keeps its origin, so the journal is the audit. The way back is written in advance. The system belongs to you, and each new brick raises the value of the ones before. The sign-off comes from your team, at delivery. STD-1.0 is our own bar, and we ask clients to hold us to it.

The client keeps the object

When a manufacture delivers, the object leaves the workshop. Ours do too: code, data and documentation included, running in the client's own accounts. Every system we deliver is designed to be owned this way, by the client, in full. Your team runs it without us. That is why we call what we build owned infrastructure: the asset sits on your side of the ledger, whoever you work with next.

It runs at ours first

What runs at a client's runs at ours first. Parrit.ai operates on the same kind of system it sells: signals are received and arbitrated by Parrit.ai. The deliveries hold up after we leave. For a consumer brand, one dossier records a reporting process commissioned to assemble itself every month.

There is a quiet test at the end of every commission: our access can end and the system keeps running. The word manufacture was chosen with that moment in mind.
