Overview
Christophe Geudens is founder of Prismos, a Brussels-based Belgian compliance SaaS startup providing an AI-powered platform that simplifies EU policy monitoring with real-time alerts, tailored analyses, and a natural language interface.
Christophe Geudens is a founder based in Brussels. In September 2024 he co-founded Prismos, where he is chief technology officer.
Before that he was an NLP data engineer at StoryChief from September 2022 to August 2024, an AI scientist at Mind AI from August 2021 to September 2022, and an ontology engineer at Appen from April to July 2021. He held a postdoctoral fellowship with the Research Foundation Flanders - FWO from October 2020 to September 2023, having previously been a PhD fellow with the same organisation from October 2016 to September 2020. During that period he spent time as a visiting research fellow at the University of St Andrews in 2019 and at SOAS University of London in 2016. He began at KU Leuven as a research assistant from October 2014 to September 2016.
Geudens studied at KU Leuven throughout, taking a bachelor's and a master's degree in linguistics, a master's degree in artificial intelligence, and a PhD in knowledge representation.
Career history
In the news
- Nobody has the AI-native playbook yet. So we're writing it together. Last night, the AI-First Engineering Community, organized by TechWolf and ML6, got together at BeCentral in Brussels for its second edition. One question, three levels: where does the human stay in the loop, on the loop, or out of it? Niels Lowie (TechWolf) showed a team where Specto builds full features overnight. Christophe Geudens (Prismos) showed a startup where every engineer runs agents in their own cloud environment. Both landed on the same pattern: simple

- Last night I spoke at BeCentral, at the second AI First Engineering meetup, on how our software engineering workflow at Prismos has changed over the last two years. - Planning comes first. Projects, tasks and their dependencies are mapped out before an agent touches the code (we use Linear, and have no plans whatsoever to change that). Each task is kept small, so humans reviewing generated code don't start rubber-stamping. - Our engineers manage projects end-to-end, from writing specs to steering agents and reviewing code. We don't
- Yesterday I spent an hour with master's students from EMAI4EU in a webinar hosted by 28DIGITAL. Thank you to Vilma and the 28DIGITAL team for the invitation, and to the students for questions that made me think. They asked: - How do you stand out when AI writes most of the code? - Is a PhD still worth it? - Do you need a network to start a company? - How do you stay in control of code you did not write yourself? I will turn a few of these into posts over the coming weeks. But my answers kept coming back to the same point: the tools
- As a student, I assumed people with interesting careers had a plan. I didn't have one. I did a PhD in logic because I followed my curiosity. I left academia because a career course made us send a real job application as homework, and the company I applied to selected me. That company was an AI startup in Seoul. I learned most of what I know now about building a startup by doing. Course correction is more important than having a perfect plan. On Monday, 26 October at 17:00, I'll talk about it all with students at 28DIGITAL
- A few weeks ago, I hosted a short session on moving between a PhD and building a company. At the end, several people asked if we could keep talking. So I started a WhatsApp group for researchers and PhDs who are weighing the move to the private sector, or already in the process. The idea is to share just honest doubts, useful resources and questions from people at different points on the same road. If that sounds like you, the link is in the comments. 💬 You can never make a move with full information, but talking to people a little
- Three talks, one evening, 28 October in Brussels. Here's who's on stage for the AI-first engineering community event: ▪️ Niels Lowie (TechWolf) on what Specto builds overnight, and what still breaks. ▪️ Georges Lorré (ML6) on Unum, the execution layer that carries enterprise workflows through to done. ▪️ Christophe Geudens (Prismos) on two years of agentic coding, and what it did to code review. Co-hosted by TechWolf and ML6, with Wintercircus Ghent as ecosystem partner. Three talks, a walking dinner, and drinks. Come compare
