Enterprise AI architecture · my vision

My vision
of AI in the enterprise.

Learns. Remembers. Belongs to you. After 10 years designing and deploying monitoring and automation systems in B2B, I see AI exactly as a system — inputs, rules, actions, memory. Here's the architecture I propose to my clients to turn it into a lasting advantage.

Portable to any AI tool
Your data stays with you
For SMBs and B2B organizations
Three properties

Well-designed,
AI accumulates.

Three properties turn AI from a point-in-time tool into lasting infrastructure: memory, coherence, ownership. That's exactly what I design for my clients.

01

Memory that accumulates.

Each conversation enriches the next. Your context, your tone, your clients are already there from the first word. Time invested yesterday saves you time today.

02

Team coherence.

The whole team speaks the same language. Common vocabulary, shared standards, control over what goes out. Coherence by design.

03

Ownership of your intelligence.

Your conversations live in your files, with you. You switch tools whenever you want — everything stays. Your company intelligence belongs to you.

AI in the enterprise is less a question of tool than of structure. Memory that accumulates. Rules that stick. Investment that compounds.

Louis-Charles Cuierrier
The ecosystem

Three spaces,
one system.

Here's how I structure the architecture for my clients. Each space has a precise role: intelligence is created in the first, built in the second, and operates in the third.

Claude Chat

Think

Describe your company, plan your agents, design your workflows. An AI advisor guides you and produces structured files.

Claude Code

Build

Drop in the files, say "execute". The architecture builds itself. Agents are born. Skills install.

Cowork

Operate

Your agents work daily. They ingest your documents, run your tasks, and grow more capable over time.

Everything is connected through Markdown files in Obsidian.
Readable by a human, executable by any AI.

The tools

An open
ecosystem.

Each component has a precise role. None is proprietary. All are replaceable.

Claude

The AI that powers the agents. Used in Chat (planning), Code (building), Cowork (daily operations).

Obsidian

Markdown editor that serves as navigation interface for the vaults. Visualizes connections.

Cowork

The desktop agent that operates daily. Connected to the vault, runs tasks, ingests documents.

Claude Code

Terminal tool for building and automating. Creates vaults, runs workflows. 1M tokens of context.

MCP & Connectors

Bridges to your existing tools. Gmail, Calendar, CRM, SharePoint. The agents read and act.

Git

Complete history of each vault. Every change is tracked. Rollback possible at any time.

The foundation

The company
brain.

At the center of the architecture, a single vault holds everything that defines your company. Your identity, products, values, procedures, tone of voice.

Every AI agent in your organization reads this vault. They inherit the context, standards and rules. You write it once, everyone benefits.

No agent can modify the company brain. Read-only. The source of truth stays under your control.

The test: if a new employee read this vault, would they understand the company in 30 minutes?

The specialists

One agent per role.
Each an expert.

Each agent has its own vault, its own memory, its own skills. It learns from your documents, your emails, your procedures.

Two types of memory

Declarative memory

The wiki — what the agent knows

Entities, concepts, source summaries, cross-analyses. Automatically built by ingesting your documents. Cross-referenced, interlinked, kept up to date.

Procedural memory

Workflows — what the agent knows how to do

Step-by-step procedures with a clear split between what the AI does, what it prepares for validation, and what the human keeps. Each workflow is also an executable skill.

Learning

An agent who doesn't know…
learns.

The golden rule: an agent never does what it doesn't know. It fabricates nothing. It asks, documents the gap, and waits to be taught. Then it knows forever.

01

The agent blocks

Unknown task or missing context. The agent fabricates nothing. It stops.

02

It documents the gap

Precise entry in gaps.md. What's missing, why, what would unblock it.

03

You teach it

A procedure, a document, an example. 5 minutes. The knowledge is in the wiki forever.

The gaps.md file is the best indicator of an agent's maturity. Gaps that close mean an agent that's growing.

The skills

One workflow,
one skill.

Each task your agent knows how to do is documented in a file. That file is both a procedure (readable by a human) and an executable skill (readable by the AI). Same file, two uses.

i.

AI does it

The agent runs this step alone. Reading data, searching the wiki, calculations, formatting. Risk-free tasks.

ii.

AI prepares, you validate

The agent does the work, then stops and presents it to you. You verify before continuing. The default mode for most steps.

iii.

Human does it

This step needs your judgment, your client relationship, or your signature. The agent skips and tells you what to do.

Governance

Responsible
by design.

Responsible AI is defined up front, before the first agent. Six questionnaires capture your principles ; every agent inherits and respects them automatically.

Principle 1

Reliability

The agent cites its sources. When it doesn't know, it says so. Zero fabrication.

Principle 2

Privacy

Sensitive data identified and protected. Clear rules on what AI can see.

Principle 3

Fairness

Equitable, auditable decisions. Bias identified and corrected at the source.

Principle 4

Transparency

The user knows when AI is involved. Sources traceable. Nothing hidden.

Principle 5

Accountability

Each agent has a human owner. AI doesn't make final decisions.

Principle 6

Inclusivity

AI serves everyone. All languages, all technical levels.

These principles live in the company brain. Every agent inherits them automatically. Your leadership keeps full control.

Your company intelligence lives in files you own. Not in a platform that bills you per seat. In folders on your server. Portable to any AI tool.

The difference

Why not just
ChatGPT?

A chat AI is a conversation. A vault architecture is a system. The difference isn't in the tool — it's in the structure.

My method

How I get you
into action.

A structured path I've validated with my clients. Short, targeted, in phases. Concrete results from the first week.

Phase 1
3 half-days

Base training

Your team understands Claude, Cowork, Obsidian, Claude Code. Foundations laid. You see the complete vision.

Phase 2
1 day

Discovery and mapping

We analyze your company together. We identify the 2-3 roles that would benefit most from a dedicated agent.

Phase 3
2-3 weeks

Building the architecture

The company brain builds. Agents are born. Workflows install. Responsible AI principles in place.

Phase 4
Ongoing

Autonomy and evolution

You run the system day-to-day. I stay available for major evolutions. The system grows with you.

Next step

If this approach
resonates, let's chat.

The first call is about understanding your context and seeing whether this architecture fits. No preachy pitch — just an honest conversation about what would make sense.
