A note for AMI Labs

Alex and team, you are building AI systems that understand the real world, remember, plan, and stay controllable. That's the only version of this decade's AI race I want to work on.

I'm not a researcher. I'm the person who takes hard technology out of the lab: first product hire at The Big Whale (1k → 30k subscribers, €2M ARR), co-founder of an AI compliance analyst (Anthropic × Lovable hackathon winner, 12 pilots), VC analyst on a €250M growth fund. French, based in Europe, comfortable across Paris / New York / Singapore, the exact footprint you already operate on.

If AMI Labs eventually needs someone to shape early Founder's office, product or GTM, or partnerships around world-model research, I'd like to be first in line.
