The alternative to outsourced engineering

Your production applications, maintained without an outside contractor.

Argy is an autonomous, governed factory for your software. Your engineers set the rules and objectives; the factory builds, maintains and delivers every change with its evidence bundle.

What you pay for by the day now has an observed cost per unit of work

Your software has been running for years and must be fixed, updated and secured continuously. Today that work is bought from outside, by the day. One unit of work delivered by the factory cost between €34 and €42 depending on the month: a basis for comparing your bill, not a promised unit price.

Observed cost per delivered unit of work

€34 – €42

Observation basis: real cost of credits consumed divided by units of work delivered; 3 production tenants, 3 months of observation; 238–291 units of work delivered for €10,000 in observed Argy budget · as of

indicative, non-contractual

A figure is only worth the ground it was obtained on. That is where everything is decided.

You are not buying one more tool. You stop buying days.

For years now, you have been shown tools that promise to write code faster. None of them touches your services bill, because none starts from what you actually have to keep running, or answers the question your auditor asks. Argy is built on those two constraints.

What you are offered elsewhereWhat Argy delivers
A new application generated on an empty repository.Changes to the code already in production — its authentication, its migrations, its integration pipeline.
A per-seat subscription, added on top of the services bill.A cost per delivered unit, comparable line by line with your unit-of-work catalogue. Argy Code already replaces ad hoc coding assistants; Argy Workbench, coming soon, will extend this steering into a unified cockpit for agentic execution — governed, audited, under your rules.
Technical logs to cross-check, coming from six disparate tools.An evidence bundle per change, audit-ready — because nobody signs off their own approval.

This promise does not hold for everyone, and we would rather say so early.

Three yeses, and we should talk

We qualify our clients as much as they qualify us. Ask yourself these three questions: if the answer to each is yes, your services bill is exactly the one the factory knows how to absorb.

  1. Must every delivery be justifiable to a regulator — in insurance, banking, mutual insurance, social protection or the public sector?
  2. Is building and approving your own automated engineering toolchain in-house outside your core business, or outside your priorities?
  3. Does keeping your applications running and supported rely heavily on contractors paid by the day?

Conversely, an IT department with strong platform capacity and low regulatory exposure is better off building it in-house. We will tell you in the first meeting rather than at the end of a project.

Everyone looks for a different answer. Start with yours.

For those who answer yes three times, the next question is concrete: what do you hand over to the factory on Monday morning?

Start with security debt. The factory takes it from there.

Vulnerability remediation, first

It is the work your teams keep postponing and your CISO watches closely, with a budget already approved. Findings from code analysis, penetration tests and application scans are fixed, verified and delivered with their evidence — without waiting for a contractor to become available.

Once trust is established on that scope, the factory extends to the rest of your applications' lifecycle:

  • dependency and framework upgrades, without regressions on existing systems;
  • defect fixes, from intent to a change approved by your engineers;
  • bringing your infrastructure as code back in line with your policies;
  • and new modules on existing systems — because in your context, a new project is almost always one more module in an application already in production.

Handing this work to a machine raises a fair question: how far does it go on its own?

Autonomy, stated honestly

The only vendor that says where its autonomy stops is the only one a CISO can defend before a committee. The level comes down to one question: who sets the objective?

  1. L3

    Baseline

    Your engineers set a technical objective; the factory derives the plan and executes it, across every tooled scope.

  2. L4

    Demonstrated on security

    On broad-mandate DevSecOps scopes, the factory derives remediation objectives itself, within the frame set by your rules.

  3. L5

    Not claimed

    L5 is not claimed: its authors describe it as a conceptual stage, not a deliverable state.

Each autonomy tier is contracted scope by scope, with the human approval points chosen for your environment. It is reversible, and the factory's configuration belongs to you and can be exported.

That leaves the question every IT department asks in silence: what about your teams?

Your engineers do not disappear. They change roles.

As in a modern plant, the machines produce while engineers in the control room set the parameters and step in when something goes off track. That role has a name: the Software Factory Engineer (SFE). Your engineers move from writing to validating — they keep the decision and lose the drudgery. We are building the career path with schools and user organizations: skills framework, certification, team trajectory.

Your architect and your procurement team will want to check. It is all ready for them.

A file that clears the committee, not just the demo

Security model, deployment options, AI Act mapping and security pack on request: the file goes to your procurement and security teams as is. Aligned with the AI Act, DORA, NIS2 and ISO 42001, hosted in Europe.

You keep your Git, your CI, your models and your tools; the factory brings its own execution agents, governed by your rules. The model gateway, versioned modules and security model are documented for your architects.

Every deployment has its own regulatory constraints and its own contracted autonomy tier. Let's talk about what applies to yours.
