20×
less cost than the traditional agency model — because we removed the structure, not the quality.
AI-native / Founder-led / Post-agency
A 100-people agency
is now 5 people with AI.
Up to 20× less cost. Up to 10× more velocity.
We are a small team of very senior geeks, armed with agentic AI,
delivering what large digital agencies deliver — without the machinery.
10×
more velocity. Days where the old model takes months. Hours where it takes weeks.
30+
years of senior experience per person. Agents multiply experts. They don't replace them.
0
account managers, coordination layers or status meetings between you and the people building.
This site is its own evidence: designed, written, coded and deployed by our own agents under senior direction — and every step is documented. Read the build log.
Intelligence
FIG. 01One senior brain.
A thousand hands.
This is what an Ex Machina team member looks like: decades of judgement at the center, agents firing continuously around it — researching, drafting, coding, checking, producing.
The intelligence stays human. The bandwidth stops being.
See what the agents doFIG. 01 — One senior brain, continuous signals. Live render, no library.
Services
FIG. 02What we build
Web & applications
Sites, product interfaces, internal tools and prototypes — specified, built, reviewed and shipped in the same continuous loop.
Custom software
The internal tool, the niche product, the "we wish something did X" software — now economically viable to build for you.
AI & automation
Agents that work while you sleep: research, reporting, support, content ops, data cleanup — turned into running systems with guardrails.
E-commerce
Complete online stores: design, catalogue, payments, logistics flows, email automation and the ads that feed them.
Campaigns
Launch ideas, visual worlds, copy routes, landing pages and channel variants — explored wide, tested fast, improved live.
Branding
Positioning, naming, identity and brand systems — prototyped across real touchpoints before they get expensive to change.
Content
Editorial systems, social routes, imagery and copy engines — production quality without the traditional production tax.
Video & social
YouTube channels, TikTok and Instagram series: strategy, scripts, production, editing and a publishing cadence that compounds.
Execution is expected.
The model is the difference.
Deliverables
FIG. 03You should know exactly
what you're buying.
Agencies sell process. We sell artifacts: the complete, concrete list of everything you receive — for a campaign, an app launch, a store, a channel. No mystery, no "phase two scoping workshop".

Why it works
FIG. 04Most of an agency invoice
was never the work.
It was alignment, handover, internal communication and process. Remove the structure and you remove the cost — that's the entire post-agency argument.
Small senior teams + agentic AI keep the two things that matter — judgement and craft — and delete everything in between.
Read the full manifestoFIG. 04 — Structure removed, cost removed. The argument, drawn.
Founder
FIG. 05
We built the system we're replacing.
Brice Le Blevennec founded Ex Machina in a Brussels garage in 1991 — then co-founded Emakina and led it to 1,100 people across 20 countries, through an IPO and an exit to EPAM. He knows how the old model works — and exactly where it breaks.
So he built the next one.
About Ex MachinaHow to start
FIG. 06Three ways in.
01 / Sprint
Audit & Sprint
A fixed-scope, fixed-price first project: an AI opportunity audit, a landing page, a prototype. See the velocity before committing to anything bigger.
02 / Project
A complete project
A campaign, an app, a store, a channel — scoped as deliverables you can read, priced as a fraction of the agency quote sitting in your inbox.
03 / Retainer
Your augmented team
Senior people plus running agents, continuously shipping across web, content, campaigns and automation. The output of a department, without the department.
