Radio interview of **54 minutes** with **Philippe Corrot**, co-founder and co-CEO of **Mirakl**, on *Les Pirates de l'IA* hosted by **Éric Hazan** (RCJ), the season-opening episode broadcast on **September 20, 2026** (volume 10), in three parts separated by musical breaks. **(A)** The career path, dated: **Keyrus** in 1997 (web agency, sold to **Progiware** in 2000), **Mayrev** in fashion accessories, then **Splitgames** — a video-game marketplace — bought by **Fnac** in 2008, whose two partners ran the marketplace for three years before founding **Mirakl** with **Adrien Nussenbaum**. **(B)** The vendor's exposure to what he calls the *"SaaSpocalypse,"* broken down into two mechanisms: **per-seat** pricing, from which Mirakl is exempt since it takes a percentage **on transactions** — *"whether it's an AI buying or a human customer, it makes no difference to us"* — and the rewriting of a piece of software by a model, which he considers unlikely in the short term because *"Mirakl isn't just lines of code"* but an infrastructure connecting nearly **100,000 sellers**. **(C)** The internal transformation, with a method starting from **deliverables** and working back up the chain, the merger of the documentation, support, and training teams, and the **OneHelp** agent: at constant headcount, customer satisfaction **×2** and support users **×10**. **(D)** The forward-looking part, where he answers *"yes"* to the question of a *job apocalypse*, treats **universal basic income** as a question worth asking, and blames French labor law and the lack of a French vision. Caveat set by the guest himself: *"what I'm telling you is true for the next six months."* Continues on the vendor side with [[bain-ai-rule-of-40-headwinds-tailwinds-saas-2026-04]].

Editorial article **SFEIR AI** published on sfeir.com on **September 6, 2026** (~9,000 characters, seven sections, two sources noted). It recaps an episode of the **DataGen** podcast hosted by **Robin Conquet**, recorded at the **Dev Summit** co-organized by **Adeo** and **Decathlon** (Lille, **May 26-28, 2026**, more than **2,000** attendees), with **Matthieu Grymonprez**, who heads digital, tech, and data at Adeo (Leroy Merlin, Weldom, Obramat), and **Romain Taillade**, Global CTO of Decathlon. Three takeaways. **(A)** The platformization carried out over five years to absorb Leroy Merlin's marketplace (**60,000** in-store references, several million online) and Decathlon's expansion (**more than 50** countries) was not aimed at agentic AI, but forms its foundation: *"the platform built the muscles, the age of intelligence builds the nervous system."* **(B)** Three named workstreams — the development **harness**, zone-based **security** across the IT system (zero agentic activity on payment, the checkout flow, and the supply chain), and **data semantics**, tackled by vertical and where Adeo admits it is in debt. **(C)** A precedent the group paid for: self-service BI produced more than **150,000 dashboards** before the return to certified data products. Grymonprez's framing sentence holds it all together — *"an agent has no common sense"*: it applies the definition as given and accelerates disorder wherever it is lacking.
