WHAT WE DO
Build a process that can be operated
AI Engineering in Neuchâtel: software or an agent designed for a defined task, connected to your systems. Inputs, access rights and acceptable errors are scoped before the prototype; production follows testing and your approval.
01START WITH A REAL TASK
Example engineering assignment to scope in Neuchâtel: summarise an inspection report for precision parts. A prototype agent receives an authorised input, prepares a proposal and routes it to an owner before any external action. Evaluation covers errors, exceptions and cost per case; connection to business software depends on available interfaces.
Illustrative working example — not a client case01A request and your data
A business owner and IT validate access, test examples and acceptance. Together we organise each phase.
02A solution connected to your tools
Prototype: test an authorised sample against a business reference.
03A result checked by your team
Documentation, handover and operating arrangements
HOW IT TYPICALLY RUNS
A result you can check
One precise piece of work or several in sequence. The proposal sets the work; a subscription reserves hours each month for an agreed list of priorities.
Prototype: test an authorised sample against a business reference.
Delivery and tests agreed in the proposal
Delivery: agree thresholds, error monitoring, rollback and an operational owner.
Documentation, handover and operating arrangements

WHY THIS MATTERS HERE · Neuchâtel
On site in Neuchâtel, remote across Switzerland
The cradle of watchmaking and microtechnology: CSEM and EPFL’s Microcity site are in town, the manufactures in the Neuchâtel mountains; many SMEs are precision subcontractors.
Neuchâtel faces the lake and turns its back on the mountains where time is made: the canton is the cradle of watchmaking and microtechnology, with CSEM and the EPFL hub at Microcity in town, the manufactures and their subcontractors in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Le Locle and the Val-de-Travers, and a fabric of bar-turning, surface-treatment and assembly workshops that also supply the medical sector. Precision is a culture here; technical documentation, routings and inspection reports are daily business.
The use cases of Neuchâtel SMEs resemble their trade: finding an instruction in production documentation, preparing a supplier qualification file, structuring a non-conformity report, translating a notice into English or German for an exporting customer. AI helps to draft and to cross-check; the dimension, the tolerance and the release decision stay in the hands of the quality manager.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START
Before the first conversation
Do we have to replace our software to connect an agent?
That depends on the available interfaces and permissions. We first check exports and APIs; integration is not promised before this review.
When can a prototype go live?
After representative testing, agreement on acceptable errors and a support plan. No fixed timeline applies to every project.
How is a project in Neuchâtel priced?
The quote separates scoping, implementation and operation, based on volumes, interfaces and required checks. Locations and travel are specified before commitment.
