The telegram
My father was an officer in the French Navy. A telegram, a sudden departure, a destination no one mentioned: moments like these taught us, very young, what trust and confidentiality mean.
Our DNA
The part
no one can copy.
What our name means, why our logo is a helmet, and the journey that led to AIKEYOS.
Our DNA
The name
Seven letters, three promises.
AI: Your AI
Not your competitors’.
KEY: With your key
You decide who sees what.
OS: On your site
Your data never leaves.
The helmet · our logo, our mission
The Titans and the three brothers.
In Greek mythology, the Titans ruled as an authoritarian order. Three brothers, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, refused to submit. The Cyclopes forged a weapon for each of them:
- Zeus’s thunderbolt
- Poseidon’s trident
- Hades’ Cap of Invisibility
Armed with them, the brothers overturned the old regime and founded a new order on Mount Olympus, built on autonomy, strategy and sovereignty.
Today, new Titans have emerged: the cloud giants. They feed on your data, impose their rules, set their own prices and demand submission.
AIKEYOS is your Cap of Invisibility.
The helmet in our logo is Hades’ cap. It is time to do what the brothers did: take back control of your data.
The journey · In Benoît’s words
Trust came first. The rest is how I earned it.
A telegram taught me what trust means. Racing and business taught me how to earn it: with a team, with results and with the right technology. AIKEYOS is where it all comes together.
Two worlds. The same three threads.
Elite racing
The sea is where technology found me. I grew up with it, and fell for sailing and for racing: a sport where the boat matters as much as the crew.
