Summary
Marc Blangy, IT and transformation director at OMNES Education (40,000 students, 15 schools), describes the group's AI strategy since 2024: an initial executive committee seminar, a cross-functional AI committee, then the appointment of a group chief AI officer in September 2025 and the launch of the Amplif'AI programme. The group has deployed several tools, including Ganesh 24/7 (a conversational bot for prospects), MatchUp (CV/job offer matching) and above all OMN'IA, a secure internal multi-LLM assistant (Gemini, Claude, in-house model Prymal) developed with the start-up TW3 Partners. OMN'IA Campus extends these uses to students and teachers for contextualised revision. He also discusses the rise of vibe coding and of internal "citizen developers", and his caution regarding AI agents because of security and GDPR issues.
