VIANEO AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

NEO, A NEW GENERATIVE AI TO STRUCTURE YOUR COMPANY'S INNOVATION PROJECTS

What if every employe, domain expert or manager, could be guided like by a mentor to structure an innovation initiative, without requiring additional effort from your teams?

NEO is an AI conversational agent designed to accelerate the emergence and maturation of enterprise projects. Through a Socratic approach, it guides teams through a series of structuring questions to clarify the value proposition, test their assumptions, align stakeholders and build robust projects that support transformation.

AN AI TOOL ADAPTED TO YOUR CHALLENGES

In collaboration with Vianeo, deploy a secure white-label AI agent that can integrate with the LLM of your choice on a sovereign cloud. The tool adapts to your internal processes and data governance requirements, while supporting your teams in their first innovation initiatives.

Beyond project structuring, NEO makes it possible to analyze initiatives consistently, compare their level of maturity and assess their potential objectively. You therefore gain a clear foundation to filter, prioritize and steer your innovation portfolio through a systematic evaluation logic aligned with your strategic priorities

STRUCTURED SUPPORT, GUIDED BY AI

NEO supports entrepreneurs within companies in structuring and developing their innovation initiatives. Through a guided conversation inspired by Vianeo’s Business Design methodology, the AI helps teams clarify the problem being addressed, articulate the value proposition, identify critical assumptions and structure their project.

EXPLORE THE PROBLEM AND THE VALUE

NEO guides initiative owners through the stages of Vianeo’s Business Design to clarify the problem, the users and the value proposition. Through a sequence of questions, the AI helps teams step back from their ideas, confront their intuitions with market realities and identify the project’s first weak points.

TEST KEY ASSUMPTIONS

NEO helps teams identify the critical assumptions that determine the project’s success and prepare for their validation. Methodological alerts highlight blind spots and encourage field exploration. Project owners become aware of the uncertainties in their model and can gradually strengthen the credibility of their initiative with decision-makers.

Structurer the project

As progress is made, NEO generates a structured summary report: value proposition, assumptions, business model components and action plan. This consistent document makes it easier to share with managers and leadership teams, quickly identify weak points and support investment decisions

TRANSFORM AN INTERNAL INITIATIVE
INTO A STRUCTURED INNOVATION PROJECT

NEO helps initiative owners structure their innovation projects within a clear and secure methodological framework. Based on Vianeo’s Business Design, the tool guides teams step by step, asks structuring questions and highlights project blind spots. Progress indicators, methodological alerts and the automatically generated report facilitate collaboration with managers and accelerate project maturation.

Explore the stages of Business Design

NEO provides clear visibility across all the stages of Business Design: problem legitimacy, desirability, acceptability, feasibility and viability. Teams can navigate these dimensions to progressively structure their thinking and understand the key elements that determine the success of an innovation initiative within the company.

Bring ideas to life through an AI that asks questions

Unlike conventional assistants, NEO does not provide ready-made answers. The AI asks structuring questions that require project owners to make their assumptions explicit and clarify their choices. This educational approach encourages learning the innovation process and enables employees to develop a genuine entrepreneurial mindset within the company.

NEO analyzes the elements provided by project owners and flags the points that require further exploration. Methodological alerts make it possible to identify fragile assumptions, missing information or inconsistencies in the reasoning. Teams can therefore progressively strengthen the robustness of the project before presenting it to decision-makers.

Visualize project maturity

Progress gauges make it possible to track project advancement across each Business Design dimension. This simple visualization introduces a gamification element that encourages progress while giving managers and innovation teams a quick view of initiative maturity.

As the project progresses, NEO automatically generates a structured summary report: value proposition, key assumptions, business model components and action plan. This document can be shared with colleagues, used as support for an internal pitch or serve as a basis for discussions with innovation departments and decision-making committees.

THE BUSINESS DESIGN METHOD

Vianeo’s Business Design method, available exclusively through our tools, guides idea and technology owners through five systemic and structuring stages. From initial exploration to business model validation, it transforms an intention into an innovation project that is clear, aligned, credible and ready to be deployed.

LEGITIMACY

Identify the problem you are addressing with precision and demonstrate why you are legitimate in taking it on. Assess your internal resources, differentiating expertise, and strategic strengths. Make sure your starting point is solid and that you have the capabilities, skills, and infrastructure required to deliver a credible and differentiated response.

DESIRABILITY

Analyze the application scope of your project to identify personas whose needs are currently unmet or poorly addressed by existing solutions. Explore, analyze, and measure their expectations. Conduct exploratory interviews, validate your assumptions, and gather tangible evidence that a genuine value creation opportunity exists.

ACCEPTABILITY

Anticipate the impact of your innovation within the project ecosystem by mapping it. Assess the reactions of stakeholders and existing influencers, correlate identified needs with regulatory constraints and potential resistance, and identify adoption levers. Then adapt your approach to ensure smooth integration into the industrial, institutional, and competitive environment.

FEASIBILITY

Design a solution that is technically and operationally grounded in the needs identified during the desirability stage. Validate the robustness of your technology, the availability of required resources, and industrial feasibility. Secure development milestones by relying on the strategic partners identified during the acceptability stage. Define a realistic and optimized implementation plan.

VIABILITY

Structure a relevant and sustainable business model built on the four previous proofs of value. Clearly identify your product-market combinations, define a monetization strategy, and measure the financial impact of the project. Ensure that your value proposition creates a durable competitive advantage and that your activity can reach a stable and profitable financial balance.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

“A pleasant surprise, very intuitive. I particularly appreciated its ability to reword, rephrase and check for proper understanding. The tool can accelerate project evaluation and proves especially relevant for the development of innovation programs, particularly those that focus on solutions rather than problems.”

ANTOINE C.
FIELD PROJECT MANAGER IN THE ENERGY SECTOR

“The depth of analysis and the structure make it possible to address every aspect of an innovative idea and develop it to the point where it can be presented to the executive committee. The tool also helps empower teams while strengthening their commitment. It also provides real support for client presentation deliverables, especially pitches and assumptions.”

CAMILLE G.
CORPORATE INNOVATION MANAGER IN THE ENERGY SECTOR

“The ease of use in conversational mode, together with its ability to structure innovation projects, saves time, provides a clearer overall view and helps better prepare presentations for decision-making committees, while benefiting from a complete methodological framework with relevant questions one would not necessarily have thought of independently.”
