Sovereign AI for public bodies

Your teams save time. Your data stays in Europe.

An assistant that answers from your procedures and regulations, citing its sources. A target three-week pilot, subject to scoping, using the French Mistral model with a controlled hosting perimeter.

Start with a scoped pilot and measure the results.

Illustrative example

An example question

“What does our security framework require for passwords?”

Your framework requires at least 12 characters, mixing upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. Multi-factor authentication is mandatory for any remote access, under the version in force since March 2026.

Validate retrieval, citations and refusals on your own test set.

Already in production in public bodies

No slideware: teams that use our sovereign AI every day, and talk about it.

  • Territoire Innovant award · AI

    City of Annemasse & Annemasse Agglo: "MIA"

    In production for more than 12 months

    Sovereign AI built on open source components (Mistral Small 3.2), hosted in Europe.

    Awarded the "Territoire Innovant" label, AI category, by Les Interconnectés (June 2026, Paris)

    • 340 active users
    • 17,880 messages processed
    • 1 single GPU

    Official figures from June 2026: adoption keeps growing.

    "With MIA, we are showing that a town can master its digital strategy without depending on outside players."

    Gabriel Doublet, Mayor of Annemasse
  • County-wide scale

    Calvados County Council

    In production for more than 6 months

    The same sovereign foundation deployed across a whole county (~700,000 residents): an AI assistant connected to the county SSO, European hosting, open source models.

    • 73 active users
    • 12,940 messages processed
    • 1 single GPU

    Proof of scalability

    From 90,000 to 700,000 residents: same architecture, same fixed cost, same sovereignty.

  • Measure your own pilot

    Results depend on your documents, use cases and adoption. Define the measurement period, active users, errors, access controls and review time.

    Agree conditions and deliverables

Technical credibility forged by expertise

PixelRaise does not sell licences: we deploy and maintain a sovereign infrastructure for you. Based in the Annemasse area, with teams in France and Switzerland.

Method: three weeks to decide on facts

From scoping to the go/no-go milestone, with no commitment to roll out.

  1. W1

    Scoping & installation

    Audit of the use cases, SSO connection, sovereign infrastructure in place, first document bases imported.

  2. W2–3

    Pilot with 20 users: go/no-go milestone

    Real usage, adoption and time saved measured. You decide on the numbers.

  3. Go

    Roll-out

    Opened to all users, up and running in 30 minutes, in-house champions trained.

From your documents to the sourced answer

Extraction (PDF, Office, OCR), vectorisation, re-ranking and inference: all of it locally, with citations of the passages used. Plus NotebookLM-style generations: summaries, FAQs, briefings, quizzes, mind maps, depending on enabled components and the approved processing perimeter. Being rolled out as options: audio podcasts and transcription of your meetings.

  7. Answer sourced + cited
  1. 1 · Extraction

    Multi-format

    Native or scanned PDFs (OCR), recent Office files (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx), HTML, text and source code. Every document in these formats becomes searchable.

  2. 2 · Chunking and vectorisation

    Into chunks, embeddings, vector store.

  3. 3 · Re-ranking

    BGE reranker: sourced and relevant answers.

  4. 4 · Cited answer

    Local inference, with citations of the passages used.

  • Structural frugality

    AI during working hours

    Off-hours shutdown can reduce billed computation if the offer supports it. Check startup, minimum billing, erasure and availability; other services may remain on.

    Illustrative GPU shutdown scenario · Schedule-dependent
  • Fixed cost

    Cost depends on sizing, billed hours and support. Shared infrastructure does not guarantee the same price for every workload.

  • Live monitoring

    Prometheus monitoring of the GPUs and the inference engine, an email report at every start and shutdown, with an alert on failure. Backups defined during scoping.

From meeting minutes to the cited answer

Committee, management meeting, working group: the recording becomes a text attributed to each participant, then a first draft of the minutes that your staff validate. Once validated, the minutes join your knowledge base, where the assistant finds and cites them like your other documents.

  • What happens to the voice

    The audio is processed in the European Union, with no third-party service, and kept for as long as you decide. Participants are informed before recording.

  • A first draft, validated by staff

    Each contribution is attributed: you name the voices and correct the text. The minutes follow your template, and nothing is shared without validation.

  • Found, then cited

    Validated minutes become sources like any other: a question about a past meeting gets an answer that points to the right document.

Unmanaged AI creates data risks

Unmanaged use can expose data or bypass document permissions. Define authorised tools, uses, controls and training.

  • Access

    Access control

    Application, document storage and GPU processing use the agreed hosting perimeter. The tunnel encrypts traffic; administration access, logs and backups still require controls.

    Security & compliance

  • Compliance

    GDPR & AI Act support

    An architecture designed around the regulation: data in the EU, structural minimisation, DPO documentation provided, experimental pseudonymisation, in testing. Your DPO must validate compliance for the actual processing.
