SHORT CUT#11
#11 -

Mobility is at a turning point. AI is no longer content with optimising journeys or improving traffic flow: it is fundamentally redefining the way we design, organise and use transport services. Autonomous vehicles, predictive traffic management, proactive infrastructure maintenance, new passenger experiences... these are all signs of a systemic transformation.
But behind the technological innovation, the challenges remain human and societal: how can we reconcile performance, sustainability and accessibility? How can we ensure that these advances truly benefit users and regions, without exacerbating existing divides?
In this new issue of Shortcut, we explore the role of AI in the future of mobility: its promises, its limitations and, above all, the conditions for making it a lever for sustainable value.

Mobility is undergoing a profound transformation. Driven by artificial intelligence, it is moving beyond technical performance to become a lever for societal transformation.
Anticipating flows, reducing carbon footprints, improving user experience: these are all challenges that require a combination of innovation, responsibility, and a sense of reality.
Mobility is complex by nature. The challenge is not to make it artificially simple, but to make it intelligible and controllable through technology.
There are many different territories, uses, and data sets, and it is this diversity that will determine the richness of tomorrow's public services.
Our mission at BeTomorrow is to transform this complexity into clarity: to ensure that every piece of data, every interaction, and every decision contributes to fluid, inclusive, and sustainable mobility.
Artificial intelligence is not an end in itself, but a means of orchestrating mobility: making services more responsive, information clearer, and networks more adaptive.
And this is only the beginning. With the emergence of MCPs (Model Context Protocols) and AI connectors, a new era is dawning: one of intelligence capable of communicating directly with transportation systems and interacting with their context.
Tomorrow, conversational agents will no longer be content to respond: they will act. This convergence heralds the advent of augmented and deeply human mobility.
It is up to us to devise the frameworks to ensure that technology remains at the service of the movement, in all circumstances.

Conversational intelligence at the service of mobility.

BeTomorrow launches Ally, the conversational AI building block for mobility services, whose mission is to make passenger information more accessible, fluid, and intelligent, drawing on advances in conversational AI.
ALLY is a comprehensive, ready-to-use toolkit designed for quick and easy integration, thanks to concrete and complementary integration modes: an AI platform designed to support the emergence of intelligent agents in mobility.

Discover Ally at RNTP!
All stakeholders in public transport and sustainable mobility will gather in Orléans from 4 to 6 November for this unmissable annual event. Three days, 8,000 participants, 200 exhibitors, and a shared ambition: to imagine the mobility of tomorrow.
BeTomorrow will unveil Ally at the event. Come and talk to our teams to find out how conversational AI can transform the passenger experience.

Different perspectives on BFM Business
On Monday, October 13, François Sorel welcomed three key players involved in the transformation of public transport to Tech & Co, the daily show: Alexandre Ribeiro, CEO of BeTomorrow, Pierre Gosset, Industrial Director at Keolis and AI expert at the UTPF (Union des Transports Publics et Ferroviaires), and Sébastien Gomes, Director of Strategy and Development at Alyce.
Together, they discussed major developments in the sector, the growing integration of artificial intelligence into urban mobility, and the upcoming meeting of public transport professionals.

Let's accelerate the digital transformation of French businesses!
Launched by the French government, the Osez l'IA (Dare to Use AI) plan aims to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence in French companies. At the heart of this initiative is a network of 300 ambassadors whose mission is to raise awareness, train and support organisations in transforming their practices through AI.
Being selected as an ambassador is a mark of trust and recognition. This choice is based on BeTomorrow's expertise in deploying tailor-made AI, our ability as a digital services agency to transform experiments into operational solutions, and our commitment to responsible, sustainable and accessible AI for all.

The role of AI in transport decarbonisation
In response to the climate emergency, AI offers innovative solutions to optimize traffic management, improve the energy efficiency of vehicle fleets, and transform the way we travel.

White paper
MaaS Alliance publishes white paper on corporate mobility as a service ‘CMaaS’
Our teams are committed to exploring trends and new ideas. They regularly organise meetings with tech, product and design experts and actively participate in major events dedicated to innovation.

Tech ecosystem
We were present at the must-attend event that brings together the French Big Data and AI ecosystem every year.
Topics discussed included digital sovereignty and data governance, the rise of agentic AI, the growing importance of data product marketplaces, and intelligent metadata.

Meet-up
We had the pleasure of participating as speakers at the IA Café Club in Bordeaux, a meet-up that makes AI accessible to everyone in a friendly atmosphere.
On this occasion, we shared a forward-looking reflection: “MCP servers, the future App Store of AI?”
Stay tuned: a full article on the subject will be available soon!

Territorial issues
BeTomorrow attended GeoDataDays, the must-attend event for digital geography and innovation, to try to understand how geodata and AI can transform our territories, transportation, and cities.
In a context marked by climate, energy, and social crises, geodata and AI offer concrete levers for imagining and steering more sustainable territories.
