Summary

At the Go Entrepreneurs Lyon trade show, Bpifrance gathered testimonials from around ten founders, all of whom use artificial intelligence in setting up their businesses. LLMs are used to assess the feasibility of a project, structure the administrative set-up, find a company name or develop a content strategy, with time savings and lower start-up costs as the main benefits. Several describe AI as a "virtual partner". Benoît Liger-Belair of Bpifrance highlights the role of these tools in supporting founders, but warns against market studies that entrepreneurs have not properly mastered. Bpifrance has developed its own AI solution, integrated into the Pass Créa, which questions the entrepreneur directly rather than building the project for them, also addressing a data sovereignty concern.
