WHAT WE DO
Build a process that can be operated
AI Engineering in Thun: 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 Thun: match a parts enquiry to a technical catalogue. 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.

WHY THIS MATTERS HERE · Thun
On site in Thun, remote across Switzerland
On the shore of Lake Thun, the town combines established industrial sites (mechanics, defence, components), a large army base and summer tourism reaching into the Oberland.
Thun stands at the outlet of the lake, where the Aare leaves the Bernese Oberland: a castle, an arcaded old town, quays and, all around, an economy mixing long-established industrial sites, from mechanics and defence to energy components, a large army base, regional administrative offices, and summer tourism stretching to Spiez and Interlaken. Local retail and crafts live off this combination.
Thun SMEs live with technical files and seasonality: matching a spare-part enquiry to a catalogue, structuring inspection reports for a contractor, preparing answers to stay and group enquiries in several languages, or sorting the mail of a shop handling orders online and in store. AI prepares the answer or the list; the workshop or the front desk checks it before anything is sent.
The season also shapes the calendar of Thun’s SMEs: summer belongs to the lake and to Oberland visitors, winter to building sites, overhauls and the office work that had been postponed, and it is often between November and March that teams find time for a workshop.

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