H Company and FDJ UNITED. H Company and FDJ UNITED to collaborate on deploying agentic AI. The partnership follows FDJ UNITED Ventures' investment in H Company in 2024. Paris, 17 November 2025 - At the Choose France Summit, H Company, the French champion of agentic artificial intelligence, and FDJ UNITED, Europe's leading gaming and lottery operator, announced a strategic partnership to experiment with agentic AI across selected FDJ UNITED processes and operations. The goal of this partnership is to enable FDJ UNITED to identify high-value use cases that can increase the productivity of its internal processes and enhance the player experience, while allowing H Company to accelerate iteration cycles on its agents by testing and deploying innovations directly in real operational environments. As a Design Partner, FDJ UNITED will work hand-in-hand with H Company, actively contributing to the co-design and iterative development of solutions. Initial use cases include automated quality testing, commercial performance management of the retail network, intelligent customer support, and fraud detection. The partnership follows FDJ UNITED Ventures' participation in H Company's 2024 funding round, a global raise of more than 200 million euros alongside renowned investors such as Accel, UI Path, Motier, Bpifrance, Bernard Arnault and Eric Schmidt. Of the 75 million euros deployed to date by FDJ UNITED Ventures, 25 million euros have been allocated to direct or indirect investments in AI-focused startups. Stéphane Pallez, Chairman & CEO - FDJ UNITED "Following our investment in H Company in 2024, we are delighted to deepen and formalize our collaboration with a leading technology player. This initiative reflects our ambition to integrate agentic AI into our processes and foster a culture of continuous improvement. It also highlights our commitment to supporting the development of the French tech ecosystem. As a reminder, FDJ UNITED has been a partner of the 'Je choisis la French Tech' initiative since 2023." Gautier Cloix, Chairman & CEO - H Company "We are thrilled to announce this first strategic partnership with FDJ UNITED, an organization that has consistently placed innovation at the core of its mission to serve players. Our engineering teams are working closely with FDJ UNITED's teams to deploy and refine our agents, which today rank as the most advanced in the world in their category. These deployments will deliver measurable and significant gains, both in productivity and customer satisfaction." The AI agents developed by H Company are capable of executing complex end-to-end processes while interacting with any graphical interface with no prior integration.

Last week, H Company released Holo2, a new generation of cross-platform computer-use models that sets a new performance standard for interface localization and navigation, while dramatically reducing complexity and cost.
