OUR STORY

We Make AI Work for Switzerland Without the Trust Issues

Enterprise software and cloud engineering with 25+ years of experience working in regulated Swiss enterprise environments, we will deliver every time

When Swiss enterprises told us they wanted AI's power but couldn't risk their data leaving Switzerland, we listened. Helvetiq AI isn't just another AI platform—it's your AI platform, running on your terms, in your data center if needed. We're building the future where 'AI-powered' doesn't mean 'data-compromised.

What Makes Us Different

Our Secret Ingredients

Ever wished AI experts actually understood your business reality? That's exactly why we exist. We're not about impressive tech demos or complex theories. We're about making AI work for real businesses, because we run one ourselves.

Practical

We're the developers who ask "but will this actually help on a busy Tuesday?" before writing a single line of code. If it doesn't save you time or make your life easier, we don't build it.

Obsessive

We can't help but optimize everything—not because we're perfectionists, but because we know every minute saved is a minute you can spend growing your business instead of fighting with technology.

Empathy

We've felt the overwhelm of "one more tool to learn." That's why we built helvetiq.ai to feel like a helpful colleague, not another tech headache.
