## About this market
Automation in France is bought at two scales that barely overlap, and this page holds both. At the smaller end the pitch is owning software instead of renting it. Automato builds internal tools for mid-sized companies, replacing five applications with one at the agency Parade, automating a radio station's editorial chain end to end at Autoradio—published as eight times the monthly article volume and 240% more organic traffic—and running scored B2B prospecting for Prospere. Powehi deploys open-source Mistral models inside the client's own network; at a technical design office that took average quote drafting from four hours to one hour twenty and lifted the tender response rate by 35%. Sequance, Sociaty and CZ Multimedia work the same Lyon mid-market with low-code workflows, assistants and document vision. At the other end sits program-scale automation: Artefact's Bpifrance engagement put more than 1,500 agents in the hands of business teams at a 500-employee bank, and Wavestone attaches generative automation to service-desk transformation for organizations that answer to a supervisor.

One question works at both scales: which model, running where, and what does a month of it cost? Automato names no model, framework or provider anywhere in its published work, while Powehi's entire position is that nothing leaves the client's network. Those are opposite answers, both legitimate, and you want one of them before the quote. Two cautions. Logos parked under a 'they trust us' heading are not engagements—Automato's actual case studies are all smaller companies than the brands in that strip. And rates are close to invisible: Preste and Serokell list €45–85/hr and everyone else quotes on request, so ask for a fixed-scope first phase rather than an open retainer.
