H Company CEO, Gautier Cloix: Beyond the Hype Leading Agentic AI into the Enterprise

In this fireside chat from RAISE Summit (Paris), the new CEO of H Company shares why he moved back to France to build a European—and global—leader in autonomous, computer-use agents. Unlike tool-calling “LLM + APIs,” H trains agents on human clicks and real UIs so they can navigate browsers, desktop, and mobile apps they’ve never seen—then complete tasks end-to-end inside complex enterprise software. Backed by a DeepMind-caliber research team, H is already topping web-navigation/computer-use benchmarks and gearing up for focused deployments with major enterprises.
‍

Key discussion points include:

• What H builds: Generalist computer-use agents trained from interaction data—not just tool calls or APIs.
• Why now (France): Deep local talent in mathematics & AI, and a fast-maturing startup scene.
• Research edge: A 30-researcher team, benchmark wins (e.g., web/computer-use tasks), and cost-efficient models.
• Cost & scale: Agents designed to be ~10× cheaper than standard models—lower compute → lower emissions.
• Enterprise delivery: The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) model to ship quickly in messy IT environments and feed learnings back into the core product.
• Use cases: High-friction workflows (healthcare admin, legacy line-of-business apps), with fine-tuning on tricky UI patterns (e.g., calendars).
• Go-to-market: Start with a few European flagship customers, then expand to the U.S. for tougher competition and faster cycles.
• Talent & culture: Competing with Big Tech by offering meaningful problems, ownership, and a mission-driven, product-first culture.
