Software published by the studio

Our AI software: AIKeep and AIGuard

Step By Step designs, builds and publishes its own artificial intelligence software. AIKeep runs your whole business admin from your workstations; AIGuard protects your data when your teams use AI. Two products built for useful AI, with security that follows from the architecture.

Flagship software

AIKeep

AIKeep, the AI software for your whole business

Installed on your Windows workstations, AIKeep becomes the single command centre of your business: accounting, banking, payroll, quotes and invoices, documents, email, business applications, servers and cybersecurity. It connects to your tools through APIs and MCP, drives a browser for those that expose nothing, and writes the code it needs itself when no interface exists.

  • Runs on your machines, with no copy of your data held by the publisher
  • Data encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM
  • Reasoning handled by Anthropic’s Claude models
  • Sensitive data filtered by AIGuard before sending

AIGuard

AIGuard, your data anonymised before AI

A filter installed on the workstation that intercepts requests sent to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Mistral or Perplexity, replaces sensitive data with reversible placeholders, then restores the real values in the answer.

  • Available on Windows 11
  • Audit log for your GDPR obligations
  • Administration console hosted in France

Our approach

Why does a software development studio publish its own products?

Publishing our own AI software holds us to the same standards we apply to our clients’ projects: security, reliability and genuine everyday usefulness.

  • Proven on our own needs

    We design this software to solve problems we face ourselves, and we use it every day.

  • Security in the architecture

    Local execution, encryption at rest and filtering of sensitive data: confidentiality follows from the design.

  • A foundation for custom projects

    The know-how gained on our own software benefits the AI agents and integrations we build for our clients.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about our software

Which software does Step By Step publish?

Step By Step publishes two artificial intelligence products: AIKeep, the AI software that runs a company’s entire business admin from its Windows workstations, and AIGuard, the filter that anonymises sensitive data before it reaches an AI assistant such as ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot.

What is the difference between AIKeep and AIGuard?

AIKeep acts: it carries out admin, document and system tasks in your tools. AIGuard protects: it filters what is sent to AI models. Within AIKeep, AIGuard is built in at the exit point, so any data sent to the model is filtered.

Can AIKeep be integrated with our existing software?

Yes. AIKeep connects to your tools through APIs, MCP servers, browser automation or code. The studio can also build any missing connectors and support the rollout in your business.
