Summary
The media group l'Étudiant has launched Ori, a conversational companion dedicated to educational and career guidance, developed with the IT services company Klee Group and based on a Mistral model. According to CTO Audrey Weiss, the tool responds to two observations: the growing complexity of educational guidance and the widespread adoption of generative AI by young people (90% use it, according to the publisher's internal surveys). Designed with a "multi-agent" architecture to make answers more reliable and limit resource consumption, Ori relies exclusively on the group's editorial content, produced by around fifteen journalists. Launched at the start of the 2025 school year, it claims more than 130,000 users and is said to have increased the browsing rate on the letudiant.fr website fivefold. Klee Group, with more than a thousand employees, sees it as an illustration of how AI is transforming the media industry.
