Your web application, described in plain words, put online for you.
An internal tool for your team or a project of your own: describe what you need. Kedalia asks the right questions, proposes a plan, then builds, tests and puts the application online.
These needs rarely justify custom development, let alone a per-user subscription. Kedalia meets them for a fixed price, with no limit on the users of your applications, and the changes you ask the assistant for are included in your tier.
How it works
1
You describe
Describe your need in your own words. You can attach the spreadsheet or document to replace.
2
The assistant clarifies your need
It asks the necessary questions, then submits a plan written in plain language.
3
You approve
No code is written until you have approved the plan.
4
The application is online
It is built, tested and put online, with user account management and e-mail sending.
To change it, simply ask in the same conversation.
The app stays available while you change it
Elsewhere, a change often goes straight into the app your users have in front of them.
With Kedalia, every change, whether a feature or a fix, is prepared in a test version. Your users carry on with the live app, and several changes can move forward at the same time, each on its own.
Each test version has:
its own address, to try it the way your users will see it;
its own test data: the real data is not touched;
its own conversation with the assistant.
Once you are happy with the result, “Publish” adds it to the live app, after its tests pass. How many test versions can run at the same time depends on the tier.
Your application also works without Kedalia
Most application generators hand you the code. But that code depends on their database, their authentication and their services: getting it back is not enough to run it elsewhere.
A Kedalia application is a standard project: it uses no tool or service of Kedalia’s own. For your IT department: a backend, a frontend, a PostgreSQL database and a docker-compose.yml file; the whole hosting chain, from the code forge to the deployment, is free software.
The Export button gives you, at any time:
the full history of the code;
the database;
a redeployment guide that brings everything back up elsewhere with a single command. For e-mail sending, you only need to give your own server.
You are the owner, not a tenant. If you stay, it is because the service suits you and you have nothing to administer.
Already have an application?
Kedalia plugs into it. You then evolve it like an application created with Kedalia: through the conversation, in test versions, then “Publish” once you are happy with the result.
Its code stays on GitHub
The assistant works in your repository, alongside your team.
“Publish” adds the change to your code, after its tests pass.
Your hosting and your production releases do not change.
Already plugged in: a local producers’ shop, whose Trello tasks moved into Kedalia.
Kedalia hosts it
Its code and history, its data and its domain name are taken over.
It is backed up every night and can be exported at any time, like any Kedalia application.
Your users keep its address and their accounts.
Already plugged in: a booking application in service, taken over with its data and its domain name.
1A study of your application, which must be able to run in containers, then a quote.
2We add what it needs to run its tests and its test versions.
From freelancers to large groups, for anyone who needs a tool suited to the way they work. You state a business need; Kedalia takes care of the technology.
Facilities
Desk booking and attendance tracking, with no licence per employee.
Purchasing
Subcontractor compliance certificates chased on time, and contract deadlines anticipated before the termination notice.
Finance
One fixed price for all your internal tools, and reversibility guaranteed by the export.
Health, safety and quality
An up-to-date occupational risk assessment, with the history of its versions, ready to print.
Templates to start from
Each template is a real application, built with Kedalia. Yours starts with its code, without any data, then the assistant adapts it to the way you work: your roles, your information, your approval steps.
Flex office
Book your desk on the floor plan, see who comes in on which day, follow the occupancy rate.
Contract deadlines
Supplier contracts, their computed cancellation deadline, and an e-mail alert to whoever is in charge.
Sales follow-up (CRM)
Companies, contacts, opportunities in a stage-by-stage pipeline, follow-ups to do and revenue won.
Expense reports
The month’s expenses with receipts, mileage allowances, approval, reimbursement, export.
Service requests
A breakdown, a move, supplies: the request, its photos, its technician, how far along it is.
Equipment inventory
Computers, phones, vehicles: who has what, the repairs, the warranties about to expire.
Purchase requests
A priced request, approval by the manager then by management above a threshold, the order.
These applications rest on the same building blocks: data, the links between them, forms, exports and alerts. Only their arrangement changes, and the assistant works it out with you over the conversation.
The occupational risk assessment
Create and maintain the mandatory risk assessment document, with the history of its versions, printing and distribution.
What you could write
“I keep our risk assessment in the attached spreadsheet. I want to update it per work unit, keep every version and be able to print it.”
Subcontractor compliance certificates
Social security, insurance, company registration: the missing documents, the expiring ones, and the reminders before the deadline.
What you could write
“Every six months I must collect the social security certificate, the insurance and the company registration of our subcontractors. I want to see what is missing and send reminders.”
Your data
The questions raised during a supplier assessment, and our answers.
Where is the data?
On servers located in France, with a French hosting provider, which we administer ourselves. Our subprocessors are listed in our legal information.
Who has access to it?
Only the users you invite into your applications. The Kedalia team does not access your users’ data.
Is the data backed up?
Yes: every night, onto a second server in France. The backups go back as far as six months, and restoring them is tested.
And artificial intelligence?
Kedalia keeps a close eye on progress in AI: the assistant moves to the latest models as soon as they have proven themselves, for more reliable code, with nothing to change on your side. You have the choice. By default, the assistant relies on the AI model of an American provider, listed among our subprocessors: your messages and the files attached to the conversation are then processed outside the European Union. On request, the assistant relies on an AI model hosted in Europe.
What is checked before going online?
The application’s tests, and a search for secrets — passwords, access keys — in what was changed. Nothing goes online if the tests fail.
No. The assistant asks its questions and presents a plan in plain language before writing a single line of code.
How long does a first version take?
Once you approve the plan, allow about ten minutes: the assistant builds the application, then tries it out itself. You can close the page meanwhile: the result waits for you.
Who owns the code?
You do, along with its database: the Export button hands you everything whenever you wish.
Can Kedalia take over an existing application?
Yes, after a study of the application and on a quote. Its code can stay on GitHub, or Kedalia hosts it with its data and its domain name: see “Already have an application?” above.
A contractor bills us for every change to our application. Can Kedalia take over?
Yes. Kedalia takes over the application after a study and on a quote: its code can stay on GitHub, or Kedalia hosts it with its data and its domain name. From then on, you ask the assistant for its changes, and they are included in your fixed-price tier, as for an application created with Kedalia. See “Already have an application?” above.
Why no credits?
So that your budget stays predictable. With credits, every request made to the assistant is charged; with Kedalia, the price of your tier stays the same from one month to the next.
What if I use the assistant a lot?
The use of the assistant included in your tier renews automatically. When it runs out, the conversation’s gauge shows the time at which it becomes available again, and no overage is ever charged. If your needs call for it, you can ask us for a higher tier.
What if the application does not work as expected?
Report it in the same conversation: the assistant fixes it, the tests run again, then the new version goes online.
What if I stop?
You export your applications before leaving: they run elsewhere, without us.
What if Kedalia stops?
You are told by e-mail while your applications are still online, and invited to export them. Once exported, they run on any server: they depend on no service of Kedalia’s own.
Who publishes Kedalia?
Charles Ilieff, a sole trader based in Toulouse, France, under the trade name Kedalia. His SIREN number and address are in our legal information.
