Company profile
researched Aug 2026Ask for the Moon offers generative AI assistants aimed at industrial expertise and critical know-how. The product is positioned as fully governed by a customer's own subject-matter experts, who build assistants on top of their own reference sources so that employees receive precise, sourced answers.
The workflow described by the company has four steps: subject-matter experts create an assistant based on their sources; employees query it and obtain sourced answers; when the assistant does not know the answer, the user is connected to the relevant colleagues; and once validated, those exchanges are fed back to enrich the AI. The company frames its approach as combining both documentary knowledge and human expertise, and emphasises the assistant's ability to answer "I don't know" in industrial settings where hallucinations are presented as unacceptable.
Business model
Enterprise software sold to industrial organisations, with prospects entering through a demo request on the company website.
Traction
The site cites an experiment launched by EDF's technical division, and testimonials from operational and technical support managers. Reported indicators include an NPS of 55 among subject-matter experts, 91% of users saying they saved time, and one customer stating 508 hours of workload freed for a national technical support team. Claimed business outcomes include roughly +20% revenue uplift for sales staff, -30% technical errors and non-conformities, and 10 hours saved per week for experts.
