Our Focus

The three areas where we do our deepest work, from first prototype to production.

AI Agent Automation

Automate complex, multi-step workflows with AI agents that coordinate tools, make decisions, and hand off to a person when it matters.

Guided Intake Solutions

Conversational intake that guides customers to the right details up front, resolves simple requests on the spot, and turns the rest into clean, structured cases.

Document Processing Pipelines

Pipelines that read, classify, and validate incoming documents, then feed structured data straight into your downstream systems.

02

Selected Work

Systems we have built, and are building, for insurers and the public sector in the DACH region.

Swiss legal protection insurer

AI-Guided Claims Intake

A guided intake that walks claimants through their case, determines which documents are needed, reads invoices and files as they are uploaded, and requests anything missing directly in the conversation.

DAX-listed insurer

Automated AI Brand & Compliance Checks

A dashboard that checks over 126 criteria across thousands of websites and social media profiles, from LinkedIn and Instagram to Facebook and Google Business.

Public sector

Guided Intake on Local LLMs

A guided intake for the public sector, built on our guided intake solution and powered by locally hosted LLMs, so sensitive data never leaves the organization's own infrastructure.

03

What We Build

Data Intake & Processing Pipelines

Structuring, quality gates, plausibility checks, query logic, and handoff to downstream systems.

Agentic Workflows & Automation

Copilots and automations with guardrails, logging, approval processes, and traceable process logic.

Training & Cloud Deployment

Scalable training, data processing, MLOps, and production operations on AWS, Azure, and GCP.

04

From Idea to Production

In months, not years.

01

Online Meeting

45 min to 1 hour

We discuss your goals, challenges, and first ideas for using AI. Together, we identify where AI can create real value.

02

Scoping Workshop

2 to 3 hours

We sharpen the use case, show relevant demos where helpful, and define what will be built, how the implementation will work, and what costs to expect.

03

Build Phase

3 to 6 months

We develop the solution step by step, show regular progress, and integrate it cleanly into your existing systems.

Common Questions

We implement least-privilege access, auditable data flows, and human-in-the-loop validation where it matters. All systems can be deployed on-premise or in your own cloud environment with full data sovereignty.

Discovery: 1-2 weeks. MVP development: 2-6 weeks with weekly demos. Full production rollout typically takes 8-12 weeks in total, depending on complexity and integration needs.

We work either project-based or on a retainer. After the scoping workshop, you'll have a clear roadmap with effort estimates. We focus on delivering value, not billable hours.

Yes. We build cloud-agnostic solutions that can run in AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-premise infrastructure. You maintain full control of your deployment environment.

Every project starts with defining measurable KPIs tied to business outcomes (e.g., time saved, error reduction, margin improvement). We track these metrics throughout development and production.
