The arc, in five acts
Act I — The cap table (2020). Alex began as a shareholding tool: a cap table builder, a transaction history, and documents attached to a company. Everything else grew from the ledger.
Act II — Automation (2021). The template editor and the automation engine turned a legal document from something you write into something you generate. This is the technical bet the whole product still rests on.
Act III — The meeting (2022). Operations V2, video general meetings, convocations, attendance, and the first blockchain anchoring. Alex stopped managing records and started running the events that produce them.
Act IV — The rebuild (2023–2024). Shareholding V2, Legal Persons V2, Qonto, the org chart, invoicing, the document splitter, the new dashboards, and French/English throughout. Almost every core model was rewritten.
Act V — The AI turn (2025). Documents V2 and Drafting V2 shipped, then chat-with-a-document, AI cap table generation, AI file renaming, corporate purpose generation — and Workspaces, which made Alex a product for firms rather than for single companies.
A note on cadence
Release frequency is matched to how much actually shipped: fortnightly through 2025, monthly for 2024, quarterly for 2022–2023, and half-yearly for the founding years. Only customer-facing changes are listed.
