Our own AI product

bukd.ch · Live in production

Who works on your project is fixed before it starts: by name.

As a specialized AI practice, we start with strategy, not tools. We identify the hours in your week that cost you the most.

That defines the strategy. Then we build, direct contact with the founders, small attack surface by design, no vendor lock-in.

How we work

Strategy first, tools after

We don't implement AI for the sake of it. We first analyze your business model and workflows to ensure technology drives real value.

Tools we actually use

We only recommend and build with software that we use ourselves daily. If it doesn't meet our own standards, we don't sell it.

Workshop first, mandate second

We establish clarity in hands-on training sessions before entering long-term support. You get immediate value without any risk.

Careful data handling is mandatory

Your data stays secure and protected. We collect only what the work needs, and run on modern, maintained tools with a small attack surface by design.

You always get the same contact person

We are your direct point of contact, but scale dynamically. Through our partner network, we pull in dedicated design and consulting specialists as needed.

No vendor lock-in

You own your tools, licenses, and code. We build on open standards so that you remain fully independent and can manage everything yourself.
