Don't answer.
Act.

A chatbot explains. An agent acts. It opens systems, checks data, makes decisions, sends emails, resolves tickets, with no human in the loop. That's the exact moment software stops being a tool and becomes a colleague.

The 3A Philosophy

Three ways
agents create real value.

Before you build an agent, you need to know what it should do. Every meaningful use case falls into one of three categories, and that choice drives complexity, cost and impact.

01 · The Type

Assist.

Think with you.

Prepare decisions, summarise documents, draft replies. The human stays in the loop and makes the final call. Low barrier to entry, high acceptance, low risk.

Example
Support copilot that triages tickets and drafts replies.
02 · The Type

Automate.

Execute.

Take over rule‑based processes end to end. Invoice validation, data extraction, standard documents, system updates. The agent decides within clear boundaries, the human steps in only for exceptions.

Example
Invoice checker that validates and books receipts automatically.
03 · The Type

Amplify.

Strengthen.

Run continuously in the background, watch workflows, spot risks and escalate intelligently before problems surface. The agent doesn't make your team replaceable, it makes them more far‑sighted.

Example
Monitoring agent that detects anomalies and routes them by priority.

Services

What we
actually build.

Six product formats under one roof, each belongs in one of the three 3A categories. You get what your task really calls for, not what the latest trend conference recommends.

01

Chatbots & Assistants

Assist

Intelligent assistants with real contextual understanding that serve customers around the clock and cut support costs. Integrated into your website, ticketing system or app. Not the FAQ parrots of 2019, assistants that actually understand what customers are after.

02

RAG Systems

Assist

Retrieval‑Augmented Generation for precise answers drawn straight from your company data. No hallucinations, no invented facts, only what's verifiably in your documents.

03

Workflow Automation

Automate

Automation of back‑office processes: data capture, scheduling, reporting, document processing. We don't build script wastelands held together by five different tools, but cleanly orchestrated agent chains that debug and explain themselves.

04

API Integrations

Automate

Seamless connection to existing CRM, ERP and ITSM systems. The agent reads, writes and syncs across your systems so data is no longer copied around but orchestrated. Includes error handling and an audit trail.

05

Vertical AI Agents

Amplify

Specialised agents for your industry, trained on your processes, your data, your terminology. Instead of a generalist that does everything half well, a specialist that's better in your domain than any off‑the‑shelf industry generalist.

06

Multi‑Agent Systems

Amplify

Multiple specialised agents working in orchestrated harmony, handling complex workflows end‑to‑end: one researches, the second checks, the third decides, the fourth executes. The discipline of disciplines, and the biggest lever when used right.

04

Investment

Three entry points,
one clear frame.

The three pricing tiers map to the three agent types. One‑off build; ongoing operations optional. All prices are indicative and finalised in conversation.

01 · Assist

Chatbot or Assistant

fromCHF5'000

AI chatbot or assistant with real contextual understanding, integrated into your website or application and connected to your knowledge base. The fastest path into productive AI use with measurable ROI.

03 · Amplify

Multi‑Agent System

fromCHF20'000

A complex system with multiple orchestrated AI agents, RAG hookup, decision logic and end‑to‑end automation. For companies that want to run several processes as a coherent agent team.

All prices are indicative. The exact scope is defined in a personal conversation. The 90‑minute potential analysis (CHF 490) is fully credited on engagement. Ongoing operations and monitoring optional as a monthly retainer.

Frequent Questions

What you should
know.

The questions that come up before every agent project. Answered briefly and honestly.

What are AI agents and how do they differ from chatbots?

A chatbot answers questions. An agent executes tasks. The chatbot tells you how you can cancel an invoice; the agent actually cancels it, including the refund in the accounting system and the customer notification.

Technically: agents have access to "tools", to APIs, databases, email, calendar, documents. They plan work steps, execute them, check the result and adjust their approach. A chatbot is a conversation surface; an agent is a digital colleague.

Which processes are suited to AI automation?

Well suited: recurring processes with clear rules, plenty of text or document processing, connections between several systems, 24/7 availability requirements. Concretely: invoice checking, ticket triage, quote generation, scheduling, report generation, data sync between CRM and ERP.

Less suited: one‑off strategic decisions, highly emotional customer conversations, processes without clear rules or with fewer than a handful of cases per month. The effort and risk simply don't pay off there.

Is my company data safe?

Yes, if you take the setup seriously. We work with the enterprise endpoints of the major providers, where your data is not used for training. On request we run the system in Swiss data centres and use exclusively European or locally hosted models.

For particularly sensitive areas (health, finance, public sector) agents can also run on your own infrastructure, we clarify the requirements in the potential analysis and build the setup so that compliance requirements are met.

Which AI models do you use?

That depends on the task. For nuanced text and code work, typically Claude. For broad knowledge questions and multimodality, often GPT or Gemini. For agents with browser or computer access, Perplexity or Anthropic‑based orchestrations. For small, fast tasks, locally hosted open‑source models.

We build model‑agnostic, you're never tied to a single provider, and the system can be switched to a newer or cheaper model when needed, without rebuilding the logic.

What happens when the agent makes a mistake?

No agent is perfect, no more than any employee. That's why every agent we build has clear escalation paths: if confidence drops below a threshold, or certain combinations appear, a human is brought in automatically before the action is executed.

On top of that, every agent logs its decisions and the reasoning behind them, that makes audits possible and gives you control back, even where the call was autonomous. For critical processes we deliberately start at an "Assist" level and only let the agent act autonomously after a proving phase.
