The next evolution is in preparation
Ctrl Deck V1.7
Ctrl Deck is preparing a redesign and new features designed to make it easier to organise your tools, whether you are a professional or a beginner.
Ctrl Deck V1.7 is not just a collection of new features: the way you find, organize and use your tools has been redesigned from end to end.
The goal remains simple: move quickly between applications, folders, files, URLs and shortcuts without wasting time searching through a crowded taskbar, the Start menu or a long list of open windows.
From the first launch, Ctrl Deck can suggest applications already available on your desktop or taskbar. You choose what to keep, what to ignore, and the suggested groups remain editable to match the way you work.
The new Application Library brings together compatible applications detected on your computer. You can then place them where they are actually useful: as an individual shortcut, inside a group or in a Workspace.
Groups help you structure your environment: Design, Productivity, AI & Development, Communication, business tools, projects or personal routines. Keyboard shortcuts remain completely optional and can be assigned to a specific item or an entire group.
Workspaces are evolving to help you prepare and return to the work environments that matter most: your usual workday, a project, a client, a campaign, a business task or a specific routine. Gather the resources you need and find them more easily when you return to work.
Finally, Live Spaces add an extra layer of continuity: before an interruption, save your work context and let Ctrl Deck help reopen compatible items when you come back.
Ctrl Deck V1.7: more than an app launcher, a visual workspace designed for professionals who work with many tools.

COMBOX publisher · controlled AI
AI as a production accelerator — never the decision-maker
COMBOX is an independent software publisher. Its rare mastery of AI — structured workflow, documented evidence, human validation — accelerates design and development. Every important decision remains the responsibility of one person.
- Structured workflow, governed by thousands of lines of rules and protocols.
- Archives, validations, corrections, tests and real deliverables — not chat answers alone
- Estimated level ≈ 0.0009%: rare, documented, with no claim of official certification
- Human decision stays central — AI does not publish software for COMBOX
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
COMBOX guides AI
Structure, govern, and leverage AI without losing control of the workflow.
COMBOX publishes software by piloting AI — not the other way around.

0.0009%
or less
Based on a comparison with hundreds of millions of users worldwide, which corresponds to only a few hundred comparable profiles.
Most people discover AI through simple conversational use: quick questions, recipes, short texts, immediate answers. This use is useful, but it remains surface-level.
Level 1
AI engine
Inaccessible to end users
This is the deep model layer: architecture, training, weights, internal limits and emergent behaviors. No user directly drives this level from a conversational interface.
COMBOX
Independent publisher · structured, controlled, verified use
COMBOX does not drive the AI engine. As a publisher, it frames an AI-assisted workflow above simple conversation: rules, project context, evidence, iterations and human decision at every step.
Level 2
Conversational layer
Answers, rephrasing, simulated rule obedience
Without a strict framework, AI can claim to understand, rephrase correctly and still fail to produce verifiable proof.
Level 3
Everyday use
Quick question, recipe, short text
Useful for an immediate answer, but often limited to surface-level use.
COM’BOX has built something different: a structured workflow for designing, coding, documenting and delivering software. The material foundation: more than 4,000 lines of rules, protocols, archives, validations, code, corrections, tests and real deliverables — carried today by one person.
An unframed AI can flatter, improvise, answer beside the point, or claim it can do something it cannot truly do.
COMBOX’s first rules were the opposite:
- no flattery
- no complacency
- no lies
- no false capability claims
The visual alongside shows the same documented rarity: 0.0009% — every zero matters. Estimated level in the attestation: 5.9 / 6.
User profile scale (internal attestation)
L1Simple conversational use~90%
L2Productivity / writing~9%
L3Structured professional use~0.9%
L4Advanced technical use~0.09%
L5Advanced modular architecture~0.01%
L6Quasi-deterministic constrained system~0.0009% or less
COMBOX position: 5.9 / 6
≈ 0.0009% or less
A few hundred comparable profiles worldwide
This 5.9 / 6 positioning is intentional. COMBOX does not aim to turn AI into a fully locked software system: AI must remain a tool we can reason with. The goal is to strongly frame it without removing its analytical capacity.
