The result to aim for

Martin Perrin, Financial Planning and Analysis Manager at PayFit (700 employees), created "Ratatouille", an agent who runs a sub-agent brigade, after the company connected Dust to its internal tools.

What was done

Les Echos (Chloé Marriault, September 18, 2026), free party: PayFit recruited an AI Ops to evangelize the 700 employees. Martin Perrin used Dust in a basic way until early 2026. "But a decision by PayFit changed everything. The title of the article, taken from the testimony, named Agent Ratatouille and his sub-agent brigade. The chapter indicates that the AI allows for financial analysis and more powerful oral presentations. The sub-agent detail is behind the subscription: it is not invented here.

What deserves your attention

Individual testimony, not a generalization to PayFit integer. An agent who finances "fine" numbers can smooth an anomaly: keep the source spreadsheet and only accept a deviation if it is explainable.
