Three sentences

Orkelia is a French platform built by solo founder Alexandre Guenot (a former physiotherapist who moved into dev/product). The company builds verticalized AI agents for 6 B2B sectors (clinics, food service, transport, sales prospecting, trading and e-commerce) with a managed-service approach rather than self-serve. 3 products are already live (Mynaparrot, Predator, Padel Congo) with a paid Stripe SaaS running live since May 2026.

Founder bio

Alexandre Guenot · founder of Orkelia · company based in Antibes (France). A qualified physiotherapist (trained in Madrid), he shifted toward product development and founded Orkelia in April 2026, after noticing that practices miss patient requests outside opening hours. Orkelia was born from that realization: verticalized AI agents beat generic tools on long-term retention. SIRET 103 861 498 00014. Bootstrapped since April 2026.

Quotes by topic.

On AI verticality

"A generic AI agent gains 30% conversion in a demo but loses 60% of customers at 6 months. The verticalized agent reverses that ratio. Verticality isn't a marketing option, it's the condition for retention." — Alexandre Guenot, founder of Orkelia

On bootstrapping

"Orkelia has been bootstrapped from day 1, and will stay that way until product-market fit is validated. I'd rather have 10 happy customers who pay well and are still around at 12 months than 1,000 customers rushed by an investor who wants their 10× in 18 months." — Alexandre Guenot

On the 2026 market

"The French B2B conversational AI market is worth around €280M in 2026. The verticalized share is only 25% of it but is growing at +85% YoY. The shift toward vertical is underway and will accelerate with the European AI Act." — Alexandre Guenot

On compliance

"Many AI providers present GDPR compliance as a premium option. At Orkelia it's the opposite: Europe-based hosting by default, zero retention from the AI provider by default, DPA delivered BEFORE signing. If it isn't native, it isn't serious." — Alexandre Guenot
