WHAT WE DO
Build a process that can be operated
AI Engineering in St. Gallen: 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 St. Gallen: classify requests for textile product variants. 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 · St. Gallen
On site in St. Gallen, remote across Switzerland
St. Gallen brings together the HSG university, known for management studies, and the head offices of a major insurer and a cooperative bank; its textile tradition runs from embroidery to technical textiles, and its SMEs export heavily to Germany and Austria.
St. Gallen is the capital of eastern Switzerland: the abbey and its library at the centre, the HSG university on the Rosenberg hill, the head office of a major insurer and of a cooperative bank, and an industrial tradition running from embroidery and technical textiles to machinery and packaging across the Rhine valley. St. Gallen SMEs export heavily, to Germany and Austria first, and handle technical and commercial files in German and English.
For these companies, use cases revolve around documentation: summarising a foreign supplier’s terms, preparing technical offers from a catalogue, structuring maintenance reports, or answering the recurring questions of brokers and policyholders. The training world, very present around the university and the colleges, brings requests for course material and literature summaries, with the necessary reservations about sources.
In St. Gallen, workshops take place on your premises, in the city, in Gossau, Wil or near the university; follow-up reviews run by video call, in German or English, and the reservations about sources are written into every instruction.

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 St. Gallen priced?
The quote separates scoping, implementation and operation, based on volumes, interfaces and required checks. Locations and travel are specified before commitment.
