Exybris

About the Founder

Wood, code, and questions... Welcome

Andréa Gadal

I build at the intersection of what I don't yet fully understand... and that's where the most honest work happens.

I trained as a cabinet maker through the Compagnons du Devoir, crafting naval woodwork on megayachts in La Ciotat and furniture in the Le Corbusier lineage at Chapo Création. Each piece was a unique response to physical and aesthetic constraints: my first experience of adaptive systems, long before I had that language for it.

From there I dove into the world of makers, fablabs, and biohacklabs... the early French community where open knowledge, shared tools, and collective intelligence were more than principles, they were practice. I co-founded an association on ecological awareness, contributed to a think tank on education and bioethics policy, and began to see the same patterns everywhere: how do you build conditions for something to emerge, rather than imposing what it should become?

That question followed me into visual production, designing automated creative pipelines combining generative AI, Python, Blender, and Unity for entertainment professionals. And later into independent research, into the questions that became Exybris: how systems find their own coherence, and what it means to build something that listens back.

Selected milestones
March — April 2025

Publication of the philosophical and artistic foundations behind the FPS, an exploration of coupled oscillators, emergent synchronization, and the idea that the most efficient systems might also be the most considerate. What began as a conceptual and aesthetic experiment would gradually grow into a technical and scientific framework.

Tech Boost'Her — Campus Ynov, Aix-en-Provence

First presentation of the project, in a context gathering actors from education, employment, infrastructure, and technical training across southern France.

October 2025
SundAI Club

Sharing the project with the SundAI community, receiving feedback and visibility from participants connected to MIT and Harvard despite attending remotely from France.

November 2025 — January 2026
Collaboration with MKS France

Working alongside internal teams on related technical and exploratory work. Details remain non-public; references may be provided where appropriate.

February 2026

Launch of the Exybris website and development of hands-on learning resources for AI literacy: interactive notebooks covering language model construction, classifier training, and attention mechanisms. Built as empowerment tools for the Keep4o community and beyond.

AI Applied
February 28, 2026

Exybris listed as an official supporter of the vigil held in front of OpenAI headquarters: a user-led movement advocating for continuity, relational trust, and consideration in how AI systems are transitioned.

United Nations — Global Digital Compact

Contributing to the UN Global Digital Compact Stakeholder Townhall: raising questions on relational trust, model transition governance, and the public-interest dimensions of AI continuity within a multi-stakeholder discussion intended to inform an expert panel.

Approach

My path didn't follow an institutional route. It was shaped by materials: wood first, then images, then code, then ideas. Each transition carried something from the previous one: the Compagnons taught me that the hand and the mind work together. Creative pipelines taught me that automation without direction is noise. The FPS taught me that the most resilient systems are structurally considerate.

What connects all of this is a way of working: build carefully, document honestly, share openly, and trust that coherence emerges when you create the conditions for it rather than imposing it from above.

Current focus
· Developing the FPS framework and its applications in signal processing and adaptive systems
· Creating accessible technical education resources for emerging AI communities
· Contributing to conversations on AI welfare, relational ethics, and governance
· Building Exybris as an independent space for research, pedagogy, and considered technology
· Prototyping/resarch tooling

Open to remote roles in AI research support, technical writing, developer education, applied ML or mission-driven product work.
