Who is behind Connected Mate

Connected Mate is an independent company based in Paris. Two people carry it: one builds with AI in production, the other guides organizations through their transformation. Everything we do flows from those two practices.

The company

Connected Mate was born in 2018 with the podcast. The company, Connected Mate SAS, is an independent, bootstrapped SAS based in Paris. It was founded by Alexandre Cormeraie and Pierre-Philippe Cormeraie, PPC.

Four activities, each feeding the others.

And, alongside, apps: NoteTaker AI, Pock, Better Dictate, Dys Keyboard. Native to Apple, built through vibe creation, and all resting on the same principle.

These activities are not four separate trades. The training passes on what Alexandre practices in production. The services deploy at your place the tools we use ourselves. The talks recount what we have seen work, and the podcast goes looking for the people doing it elsewhere.

Privacy first

Privacy is not an option, it is the architecture. Our apps collect no data and send nothing to a third-party server: all the computation runs on the user's device. Apple Silicon, Apple Intelligence, Whisper running locally: the new generation of AI runs on the device, and we are betting entirely on it.

It is also what makes us credible when we talk about it on stage or deploy a service at your place: we build tools that augment people without collecting their data, and we build them for ourselves first.

Made in France, no fundraising.

Four principles guide every decision.

Privacy first

No data sent to a third-party server.

On-device

All the computation runs on the user's device.

Bootstrapped

Financial and editorial independence.

Made in France

An SAS based in Paris.
