I give companies work done, instead of one more tool.

The founder

Portrait of Yann Grumbach, founder of Anthelixa
  • More than ten years helping clients with their data and digital challenges, and with their business processes.
  • Former partner and managing director of an AI consulting and product studio.

Yann Grumbach spent more than ten years helping his clients with their data and digital challenges, tied to their business processes: from finance to sales, from stock management to banking. Then AI: he was a partner and managing director of an AI consulting and product studio.

There he saw the bottleneck move. AI was speeding up every task, but time was now being lost between them, every day: between colleagues as much as between teams and AI, the file sat waiting for a review, a document, a reply. He founded Anthelixa in 2026 to move the file forward, not just the task, by putting people back at the centre: people decide; around them, AI workers prepare, and everyone exchanges and works on the same file, at the same time or at their own pace. That is where AI can make a difference to the whole company, not just to one task.

The conviction

Working together should not mean waiting

Everything else follows from this: the shared place, the written rules, the night and the morning. In an SME, the hours go into data entry, checks and filing, then into the gaps between people: documents passed around by email, context explained all over again, approvals left waiting.

Why it stalls

The problem was never the technology

AI gains are lost between tasks

  • 10 to 70%

    on the task

    Gains measured under controlled conditions, highest for the least experienced.

  • around 4%

    across the company

    Across more than 12,000 European and US companies. Gains concentrated in medium-sized and large companies.

  • Invisible

    in the statistics

    No productivity growth clearly attributable to AI in the official statistics1.

We exist to close that gap

Four companies in five measure no gain1

The real obstacle

Risk

Integration, reliability, skills, organisational barriers. No one puts into production what they do not control.

The real potential

Organisation

Redesigning processes, not substituting isolated tasks. Plus the hidden costs of coordination and verification.

Electricity only raised productivity once factories had been rewired and production reorganised. Information technology, once processes had been redesigned1.

One place, written rules, the night and the morning

Why we do both

You were sold tools. No one ever handed you the work done

The software vendor without integration

It delivers an agent that no one connects. The client is left alone with its rules and its exceptions. The project dies at the pilot stage.

The consultancy without a product

It delivers a report. Yet a report can be redone in a few hours with a good model. What cannot be redone is a system that runs.

Anthelixa does both, and measures the result

We advise, then we install what we have built

Our consulting remains free in what it recommends, even to the point of concluding that nothing should be done.

When it says to act, we build what it recommends and run it in your business, on a platform where your teams and the workers work on the same files. Your teams keep the decision, and the result is measured in your business, before and after.

The name

A light phenomenon of the solar halo, which we respelt as our name

The anthelion is a point of light that appears exactly opposite the sun, when its light passes through ice crystals and gathers into a second focal point. In the name, you also hear helix, the spiral: two strands moving forward together, consulting and the platform.

Anthelixa is pronounced an-tay-lik-sa.

Getting started

Where do you start?

With an audit, if you first want to know where AI will really pay off for you. With a custom worker, if you already know where things get stuck. Either way, the deliverables are yours.
