The digital transformation of the State takes a new step with the
Digital Suite , a set of applications designed to give public agents a controlled, consistent and secure collaborative environment.
Since its launch in 2024, this initiative led by the
Dinum (Interministerial Directorate for Digital Affairs) has been progressing methodically, with the ambition of
building a credible alternative to American suites , based on an open source approach and entirely hosted in France.
More than a year and a half after its launch, the government is taking stock. Between the ramp-up of features, the initial surge in adoption, and the integration of AI
through Mistral AI , the Suite reveals a project still under construction…
In concrete terms, the Digital Suite now includes six building blocks designed or adapted for the needs of the public sector to offer agents a fluid, homogeneous and sovereign working platform.
Visio has already established itself as the most used service, exceeding 60,000 monthly users . More than 1,000 meeting minutes were produced in September 2025 alone. The team is now preparing native calendar integration , real-time captioning, and soon, automatic summarization.
Doc , the collaborative note-taking tool, stands out thanks to its integrated AI assistant . Capable of rephrasing, summarizing, or generating content, it will soon be enhanced by a more powerful version that will be able to suggest detailed outlines or intervene directly during the writing process.
On the storage side, the Files application offers a solution hosted exclusively in France. Still in beta, it aims to accommodate large volumes of documents. Future developments will include folder sharing, advanced version history, and semantic search allowing users to identify documents based on their content.
The Tchap messaging system , mandatory in government ministries since September 2025 , now exceeds 375,000 monthly active users. Based on the Matrix protocol, it guarantees structured communication throughout the public sector ecosystem: ministries, local authorities, schools, and hospitals.
Grist , the no-code data management tool, is experiencing spectacular growth: from 1,000 to 15,000 monthly users in one year . Between collaborative boards, maps, lists, rich forms, and the creation of internal applications, the tool is transforming the way public data is structured.
An AI building block to connect the entire platform
Finally, one of the pillars of the Suite is its AI Assistant , developed with Mistral AI. Tested by 10,000 agents before a deployment in early 2026, it is already working in Doc and Visio.
Eventually, it will be able to query a body of documents, find key elements of a past meeting or initiate actions in the ecosystem: create a note, propose an agenda, schedule a meeting.
Interoperability as the backbone of the project
The next phase relies on interoperability. For Dinum, this is the condition that will allow the Suite to offer a consistent experience , on par with suites already established in use.
The challenge remains to make each tool interact naturally, without friction, so that together they form a sovereign platform, truly adapted to the needs of the public service…
