What is Brio?

Brio is JustAI's sovereign collaborative AI platform, combining an assistant, shared chat and documents, and agents on open-source models hosted in France, with no third-party APIs and no training on customer data.

Brio is a collaborative AI platform built by JustAI, a French AI consultancy. It combines a personal assistant, shared chat, editable documents and AI agents in one workspace, aimed at organisations that want to use large language models without sending data to American providers. The pitch rests on control: JustAI runs the infrastructure end to end and describes the product as sovereign by design. In practice, teams work inside unified workspaces that gather content, conversations and knowledge in one place. The assistant, called Majordome, is contextual: it draws on an organisation's documents, projects and structure to give grounded answers. Several people can chat with the AI at once and co-edit shared documents, while specialised agents cooperate with staff to automate multi-step tasks. Managers get dashboards covering adoption and KPIs, plus per-request carbon footprint tracking for organisations with CSR reporting duties. The architecture is the main differentiator. Brio does not call ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Mistral Cloud. Open-source models are deployed and orchestrated by JustAI on its own GPU servers in France, with OVHcloud and Scaleway as backup, both French operators outside the reach of the Cloud Act. The company states that customer data is not used for training and that no telemetry goes to the United States. On security, it cites 33 of 35 ANSSI recommendations met (94.29%), a self-hosted CI/CD chain, models stored in GGUF rather than pickle to avoid code execution on load, and a single exposed HTTPS port behind a whitelisted reverse proxy. Brio suits public bodies, regulated industries and mid-size or large companies with strict data residency or GDPR requirements. Compared with mainstream assistants such as ChatGPT Teams or Microsoft Copilot, it trades access to frontier proprietary models for jurisdictional certainty and pricing independence. Access is handled through a demo request rather than self-service signup, and JustAI also offers strategy, training and custom software services around the platform.
