Freelancers, small businesses and SMEs
Automate the repetitive tasks slowing your business down.
Elma Lab analyzes your processes, builds the tool around the way you work, then trains you and your team to use it. You get a tool in production, not a report.
Use cases
In concrete terms, what we automate.
Specific tasks that come back every week and always follow the same path. We replace them with a tool you know how to run.
Your case isn't listed?
That's normal, every business has its own pain points. Describe yours to us in 30 minutes and we'll tell you if it's automatable.
AI
Where AI steps in, and where a human validates
We use AI where it saves time: reading, sorting, extracting, preparing. It prepares, and a person checks before anything goes out to a client.
Sorting and qualifying inbound emails
What the AI does
It reads each email and its attachments, files it in the right category and spots the urgent ones.
What a human checks
A person checks the classification and approves every reply before it is sent.
Learn moreExtracting data from documents
What the AI does
It picks out the useful information in a document (references, amounts, dates) and flags what is missing.
What a human checks
A person checks the extracted data before it feeds a quote or an invoice.
Pre-drafting replies and documents
What the AI does
It prepares the draft of a reply or a document from your templates and your data.
What a human checks
A person reviews, corrects and sends: nothing is sent automatically.

Marie Chauvois
Founder of Elma Lab
The agency
An agency born in the field, at clients' sites.
Elma Lab is led by Marie Chauvois, an automation consultant and former implementation engineer. In the field, we learned that a project rarely fails for technical reasons: it fails when the processes weren't understood. That's why we take care of everything, from understanding your needs to training you, and we stay until the tool runs without us.
About the agencyRecurring tasks that always follow the same path: preparing client documents, quotes and invoices, sorting inbound requests, reporting, onboarding. Every engagement starts by identifying the ones that will save you the most time.
Yes. It's actually where every hour saved matters most. Manon Sassy, a casting director, works alone: she now prepares her client presentations in 15 minutes instead of 4 to 5 hours.
One point of contact who understands your processes, Marie Chauvois, with the delivery capacity of an agency: from audit to training, we take care of everything.
No. We start from your tools and your data, and integrate them into the platform. The tool adapts to the way you work, not the other way round.
Allow 2 to 3 weeks for the audit and mockup, then 6 to 12 weeks to build the platform.
Yes. Each step stands on its own: you leave with the mapping of your processes, the costed use cases, the mockup and the roadmap.
Your choice: monthly support for maintenance and evolutions, or a full handover (documentation, training, autonomy over routine changes). You're not left dependent on us.
