Hello, I'm Alexandre Grais

Co-founder of Kapptivate. I build whatever curiosity demands, for humans and AI agents alike.

About me

Curious generalist, lifelong learner, based in Bordeaux. I am at my best in early‑stage ambiguity: shaping products before the rules exist, connecting people and ideas, and going deep on whatever I do not understand yet. Routine bores me; uncharted problems don't.

Off the clock: fantasy and science fiction (Brandon Sanderson, The Wheel of Time), running, tennis, good food and deep conversations with people I like.

What I do now

I co-founded Kapptivate in 2014 with my business partner Julien, and I still build it every day. We ran it fully bootstrapped until 2023, then brought in investors to keep the company growing.

I build all sorts of things, from AI agents and knowledge systems to SDKs, web apps and CLIs. The common thread: everything is designed for humans and AI agents alike. Fast, scriptable, JSON‑first, introspectable.

My company

Kapptivate

We are building the continuous quality platform: QA and observability in one place.

A companion for product builders and AI agents, with the data they need to ship quality products, before and after production.
