France

French AI lab building foundation models and agents for enterprise software engineering, with code generation and IDE tooling that runs inside strict security boundaries.

Poolside builds foundation models and AI agents purpose-built for enterprise software engineering, delivering Copilot-class code generation, multi-agent orchestration, and deeply integrated IDE tooling for organisations that need AI capability under strict security boundaries. It positions itself as an AGI-for-the-enterprise platform, with software development as the first strategic workload.

Unlike general-purpose assistants, Poolside focuses on on-premises and air-gapped deployment with full data isolation, multi-agent orchestration, and policy-governed execution across heterogeneous environments, from multi-cloud and legacy systems to offline networks. Forward Deployed Research Engineers embed with customer teams to tune models to proprietary codebases and workflows.

Key benefits:

  • Purpose-built code foundation models trained specifically for software engineering
  • Multi-agent orchestration coordinates planning, coding, review, and execution agents
  • On-premises and air-gapped deployment keeps source code off third-party clouds
  • IDE extensions integrate completion and agents into existing developer tools
  • Policy governance enforces access, audit, and risk controls at the agent layer
  • Embedded engineering from Poolside's research team customises models per client

Poolside is based in France with additional US presence, operates under GDPR, and offers customer-hosted and EU-sovereign deployments suitable for regulated sectors including defence, finance, and critical infrastructure. European roots place governance and research under EU jurisdiction.

Ideal for large enterprises, defence primes, and financial institutions that want Copilot-grade AI capabilities on their own infrastructure, with foundation models they can keep inside their own security boundary rather than routing through US SaaS.
