What is Louis?
Louis is a bilingual (French and English) project and process management platform with built-in AI agents. Teams run their work in Kanban, Scrum, GTD or their own workflow, and Louis measures cycle time, lead time, queue time and work in progress so they can see where work gets stuck and improve the process. It is made by JFDavignon.Solutions, in the Outaouais region of Québec, Canada.
Is Louis available in French?
Yes. The interface is fully French and English, each person picks their language, and with AI turned on, content can be translated on demand or automatically while keeping its formatting.
How much does Louis cost?
$15 CAD per user per month, with a minimum of 3 users. AI is optional and paid separately, with prepaid credit or on your own provider keys. The Starter plan is free for 60 days for up to 3 users. See the pricing page.
Which AI models can Louis use?
Models from OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini) and DeepSeek, and hundreds more through OpenRouter with your own key. Administrators choose the provider, model, service tier and reasoning level for each agent.
Can we use Louis without AI?
Yes. AI stays off until an administrator buys AI credit or adds a provider key. Workflows, metrics, dashboards, the wiki and process reviews all work without it.
How do we keep AI costs under control?
Set a monthly limit on AI paid from credit, with a warning threshold, and limits on tool calls, runtime and cost for each agent run, own keys included. Louis reports spend by provider, model, agent and work surface, including the cost of runs that failed.
Where is Louis’s data hosted?
In Beauharnois, Québec, Canada. AI requests go to the provider you choose, which processes them outside Canada unless you arrange otherwise. For Canadian data residency, use your own key with a provider account that offers it.
Does Louis work with Visual Studio Code?
Yes. The Frank & Louis extension lets developers work on their Louis tasks in VS Code with the Frank agent, and reports Frank’s work back into Louis.
