Assistant, on your Mac

An assistant that prepares your day. Nothing goes out without you.

Your morning briefing and reply drafts, on your Mac, connected to your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, with an AI account in your own name. A studio run by its founder, one point of contact.

  • Runs on your Mac, nothing on our servers
  • Nothing sent without your approval
  • Optional support, no commitment
  1. 8:30 am. The Mac wakes up: “What can I do for you?”
  2. The morning briefing lands on the phone: meetings and emails to handle.
  3. A reply draft is waiting. It only goes out once you approve it.
  4. On the watch, VIGIE, the studio's own system, stays ready to listen.
  5. At level 4, the month's figures on the iPad.
  • Mockup before paymentYou approve your site before paying.
  • Public pricesAssistant from €590, websites from €690.
  • Quote within 48 hoursWritten, free, no commitment.
  • It is all yoursCode, domain and data, no forced subscription.

Connected to your tools

The tools you already use. Nothing to replace.

The assistant connects to your email and calendar, then to a business tool when you move up a level. It runs on your Mac.

Integrations

Tested and used at the studio:

Google Workspace: Gmail, CalendarMicrosoft 365: Outlook, Calendar

From level 2, after a real test on your setup:

Google reviewsWebsite formsMeeting notesCRMOnline shopPayments

Another tool: if it has an API, after review.

Mac only. No Windows computers for now.

Who it is for

Trades where the work runs through email and the calendar.

  • Independent professionals, practices: today's meetings and client emails at the top, every morning.
  • Estate agencies: enquiries from property portals at the top of the briefing, and at level 2 replies ready to approve.
  • Shops with a Mac: today's bookings and supplier emails, before opening.
  • SMEs, teams: a morning briefing for each person, and follow-ups ready to approve.

Four levels. Start small.

The price depends on how many tools are connected. Move up a level once the previous one is useful: you pay the difference.

Ready to deploy for you: the same assistant, connected to your tools, read-only and running on your rules.

Portrait of Benjamin, founder of Vasistas

Written quote within 48 business hours

Behind the studio

A founder who writes the code, a team of AI agents at work.

Benjamin, the founder, leads every project and writes the code: Python, JavaScript, SQL, and Swift for the Apple Watch. Before the studio, he built services and systems at startups in Berlin, Brussels, Paris, Zurich, Hong Kong and Shenzhen: customer service across five countries, CRMs, real-time dashboards, the European launch of an electric vehicle manufacturer. He still builds data and AI tools for leadership teams today.

Around him, a team of specialised AI agents: research on your market, first drafts of copy and translations, testing every page on desktop and phone. For design, copywriting or photography, partners join the project when needed. And everything we offer runs in-house first, every day.

FAQ

What people ask us before signing.

Another question? Ask it in the form and the answer comes with your quote.

How much does a website cost?

A showcase website starts at €690, a QR menu at €290, a cleaned-up Google Business Profile at €190, and the three together at €990. For an app, a dashboard or an automation, the quote is written and fixed before work starts, with a ballpark figure from the first exchange. Net prices, no VAT charged.

How long until my website is live?

For a showcase website, a few days after the quote is approved and your texts and photos have arrived. For an app or a dashboard, the timeline is written in the quote, step by step.

Do I pay before seeing anything?

No. For a website, you see the mockup before paying anything. For longer projects, each step is tested before it is paid for; any deposit is written in the quote.

Will my site rank on Google?

Technical SEO is included: fast pages, careful titles and descriptions, structured data, sitemap, link to your Google Business Profile. Nobody can honestly promise the top spot: it depends on local competition, and how long it takes varies from one sector to another.

Will I depend on you afterwards?

No. You receive the files, the access details and a guide that explains how everything works. The domain name and hosting are in your name. Another developer can take over without us.

Is there a subscription?

No subscription is mandatory. If you would rather hand over hosting, the domain name and small edits, the peace of mind plan costs €29 a month, cancel anytime. External costs (a domain name, around ten euros a year, and any APIs) are paid by you directly.

Can you take over my existing site or tool?

Yes, that is the most common case: an outdated website, an Excel file that got out of hand, a CRM to clean up, a broken automation. The quote says what stays, what gets replaced and what it costs.

What does “applied AI” mean?

Assistants and automations connected to your tools (email, calendar, CRM, files, till) that sort, draft and alert you. With written safeguards: read-only whenever possible, and nothing is sent without your approval.

Where does my data go? What about GDPR?

It stays in your accounts: your hosting, your till, your tools. The assistant runs on your Mac, nothing on our servers. What it sends to the AI provider, on an account in your name, is listed in writing before installation. We work read-only whenever possible and delete any working copy on delivery. A non-disclosure agreement, and a GDPR data processing agreement if needed, is signed before any access.

Who works on my project?

Benjamin, the founder, leads the project and writes the code: he is the one who replies to you. He works with a team of specialised AI agents (research, first drafts of copy and translations, testing), and with partners for design, copywriting or photography when the project calls for it. You keep a single point of contact.

Do you work remotely, including outside France?

Yes. Everything is done in writing and by video call, in English or French, across France and Europe. Working with distributed teams is second nature: Benjamin has worked between Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Zurich and Hong Kong. Invoices are issued in euros by a French business.

What don't you do?

No apps published on the App Store or Google Play, no night or weekend on-call, no paid ad campaign management, no plugin-heavy WordPress sites. If that is what you need, we will tell you straight away and point you in the right direction.

Why “Vasistas”?

In French, a vasistas is the small glazed pane that tilts open in a window or above a door to let in air and light, without taking anything apart. The word comes from the German “Was ist das?”, “what is that?”. That is how we work: we start from what you already have, open just what is needed, and give a clear answer to “what is that thing?”.
