Manifesto

For the people who hold
the Italian economy together.

Optlyx builds software made specifically for Italian accounting firms.

Not imported. Not translated. Designed here.

§ 01 · The starting point

Italy has roughly 120,000 registered accountants. Every morning they open a firm and hold together more than 5 million VAT numbers. They have done it for decades, with tools that have not kept pace with them.

§ 02 · What's broken

The software they use was designed
for another era.

Three vendors have split the Italian practice-management market between them for twenty years. The interfaces were born when "digital" meant a floppy disk. The logic is that of systems that replaced paper, but never touched the work itself.

It's not a question of aesthetics. It's that every day someone hunts for an attachment in a six-month-old PEC, manually re-checks a tax deadline, chases a client who hasn't sent a document, runs an anti-money-laundering check by opening five different registers.

Hours of skilled work spent on things that should be automatic.

§ 03 · General-purpose AI isn't enough

ChatGPT doesn't know
what an F24 is.

It can't tell a friendly notice (avviso bonario) from a tax-collection demand. It has never opened the TUIR. It doesn't know the anti-money-laundering obligations under Legislative Decree 231/2007. It doesn't know that the 16th of every month is a payment day, that periodic VAT is settled on the 25th, that financial statements close in September.

General-purpose artificial intelligence doesn't understand Italian tax. It improvises it. And improvising in tax matters is a risk the firm pays for, in time, in errors, in penalties.

What's needed is an AI that speaks the language of the Italian professional. Not an approximate translation of an American model.

§ 04 · What we're building

Purpose-built tools.
Built here.

Optlyx is not a software house that stumbled onto a vertical market. It's a group of people who looked at a firm from the inside and decided that was enough.

The flagship product is Prisma, the operating platform for Italian accounting firms. A unified inbox for Gmail, Outlook and PEC. AI that classifies and files documents. A 2026 tax deadline manager with regime-specific rules. Advanced electronic signature (FEA) compliant with eIDAS art. 26 and CAD art. 20. AgID-compliant digital preservation. A white-label client portal. SDI self-invoicing. F24 approval from the client app.

At the heart of Prisma lives Narya, the conversational AI Console that speaks Italian tax: it understands the TUIR, anti-money-laundering law (Legislative Decree 231/2007), the Civil Code, Italian Revenue Agency practice, and tax case law. It's the engine that makes Prisma a tool, not just an interface.

All of this sits alongside the firm's practice-management software (TeamSystem, Zucchetti, PROFIS, DATEV, Wolters Kluwer, Passcom, Sibill, GB). It doesn't replace it.

§ 05 · Truly Made in Italy

Data in Belgium.
Designed in Italy.

All of Optlyx runs on Google Cloud, region europe-west1 (St. Ghislain, Belgium). Never transferred outside the EU. Compliant with GDPR, eIDAS, and the 2022 AgID Guidelines.

The rules that govern our users' work. Art. 2220 of the Civil Code, the CAD, anti-money-laundering Legislative Decree 231/2007, Presidential Decree 322/1998, Italian Revenue Agency provisions, are not footnotes in our code. They are the starting point.

When an accountant uses Optlyx to sign an engagement letter, file an invoice or approve an F24, behind it sits an infrastructure compliant with Italian and European law, built by people who read it in Italian.

§ 06 · The promise

We don't replace
the accountant.
We give the hours back.

The hours spent hunting for an attachment. Chasing a signature. Re-checking a deadline. Running an anti-money-laundering check by hand. Explaining to the client, for the fourth time, what's needed.

Those hours belong to the client who pays for the accountant's mind, not their back office. They belong to the firm. They belong to the people who work there.

. Optlyx. The firm that works with you.
