Manifesto · AI at Visamundi

We tell you what AI does, and above all what it doesn't do

Everyone "does AI". We prefer to list precisely where we use it, on which data, and where we've explicitly decided not to use it. A single model: Mistral, open-source, self-hosted on our own infrastructure in Europe. A living document, updated when our practices change.

Our mindset

AI proposes, humans decide

Every task follows the same path: data trimmed to the useful minimum, a model we control, a proposal, then human validation before any action.

Data

Document or email, trimmed to the useful minimum.

Mistral

Open-source, self-hosted in Europe.

No personal data sent
Proposal

Summary, draft or selector, never a decision.

Humans decide

An operator approves before any action.

100% Europe hostingNo personal data sent

Principles

Four non-negotiable rules

Before the AI feature list, here's what constrains it.

  • No AI decision-making

    No model accepts or rejects a file. No model classifies a traveller. Visa decisions remain those of consular authorities; ours remain those of human operators.

  • No traveller profiling

    We don't use AI to score, profile or target travellers. None of our prompts contains the names, addresses or photos of the people we accompany.

  • One model, self-hosted in Europe

    We use a single model: Mistral, open-source, self-hosted on our own infrastructure in Europe. No data passes through a third-party API, and nothing trains a public model.

  • Humans stay in control

    Every generated draft (summary, reply, selector) goes through a human operator before any action. AI proposes, the team decides.

Real uses

Where AI actually runs at our place

Four features. Not one more. If we add one tomorrow, it will appear here before going to production.

Document OCR categorisation

· Espace client (nomamundi)

Reads passports, tickets and supporting documents to automatically file them in the correct slot.

Model
Mistral · open-source, self-hosted in the EU
Data sent
The file (PDF/image), the first 2000 extracted characters, the filename, the expected type.

Synthetic visa file summary

· Espace client (nomamundi)

Generates 3-4 sentences so an operator can identify the state of a file, next steps, and attention points in 5 seconds.

Model
Mistral · open-source, self-hosted in the EU
Data sent
File metadata (status, dates, travel plan), internal notes, anonymised roles. No personal names sent.

Draft reply to a request

· Espace client (nomamundi)

Proposes a draft reply to an incoming email. Always reviewed and sent by a human.

Model
Mistral · open-source, self-hosted in the EU
Data sent
Subject and category of the request, conversation history with anonymised participants.

Selector recovery during automation

· Back-office production

When a government portal changes its forms without warning, the LLM helps find the right HTML field to avoid blocking a file.

Model
Mistral · open-source, self-hosted in the EU
Data sent
Technical page URL, public HTML, error message. No PII.

Trip detection in Gmail

· Visamundi Vision

Classifies an email as a travel confirmation or not, then extracts destination/dates/reference for ambiguous emails that regex alone can't parse. Bilingual FR/EN.

Model
Mistral · open-source, self-hosted in the EU
Data sent
Subject + sender + email body truncated to 4000 characters. No attachments. No persistence of bodies after extraction.

Red lines

What AI will never do here

The uses we explicitly forbid ourselves. This list matters more than the one next to it.

  • Generating fake documents or false supporting evidence.
  • Automatic unreviewed reply to a traveller or partner.
  • Automatic decision on a traveller's visa eligibility.
  • Sending identity photos, full passport scans, or biometric data to an LLM.
  • Relying on any third-party, proprietary or non-European-hosted LLM. Our only model is Mistral, open-source and self-hosted.

Governance

How this manifesto stays current

This isn't a frozen marketing page: here's exactly how this document stays alive and who owns it.

Continuously updated

It describes the real state of our AI stack. The moment a practice changes, this document changes with it.

Before every release

Every new AI feature is documented here (model, data sent, human oversight) before it ships.
