Founder · Researcher & Developer

Engineering today, researching tomorrow.

Innov-AI is the independent company of Jimmitry PAYET, founded in 2018 and based in Cilaos, in the heart of Réunion Island (France). I have been designing and building MentDB since 2008, a complete data platform written from scratch, and I use it every day both to deliver client projects and as my research workbench.

From Software Engineering to the Future of Artificial Intelligence, I turn enterprise challenges into robust solutions while pushing the frontiers of advanced AI research.

18+years of R&D
760klines of code
2400features delivered

Services · MentDB Weak

Software Engineering & Consulting

I ensure my clients' operational excellence by developing custom solutions powered by MentDB. Through the MentDB Weak platform, I master the entire data and business process lifecycle.

  • Generalized Interoperability: data unification via the MQL language and the WWD (World Wide Data) vision.
  • All-in-One Architecture: ETL, ESB, SOA, WebApp and AI (Weak) in a single solution.
  • Expert Support: from development to maintenance, I guarantee the performance and security of your architectures.

Advanced AI Research & Development

In parallel with my client services, I heavily invest in fundamental Artificial Intelligence research. My flagship project, MentDB Strong, is a private for now, experimental endeavor exploring the most advanced concepts.

  • Strong AI (AGI): developing architectures for Artificial General Intelligence.
  • Consciousness & Free Will: modeling machine consciousness, emotion and autonomy.
  • Subjective Modeling: researching the framework for subjective experience and self-preservation.
The name

Why MentDB?

MentDB stands for Mentalese Database, a tribute to the language of thought described by Jerry Fodor in 1975. The idea is simple and ambitious: give data a language as natural for machines as thought is for the mind.

Its language, MQL, drives everything from a single server: data exchange, business processes, web applications, scheduling and AI. The long-term vision is WWD, a World Wide Data where companies exchange data in real time through one common standard.

The approach

One builder, every layer

As an independent developer, you work with a single direct contact from the first workshop to long-term maintenance. Because I built the platform myself, I control every layer of the solutions I deliver, with no black box between your needs and the code.

My strength lies in this synergy: practical excellence (services) funds and fuels theoretical innovation (R&D), and every advance in research comes back as a better tool for my clients.
