Adnovum's Berna voicebot for Gebäudeversicherung Bern is the strongest documented delivery here: parallel claim calls during storm events at up to 2,700 a day, Swiss German transcribed into structured claim files, GVB's Head of Innovation quoted; the speech technology is Spitch's, and Adnovum's part is architecture, Azure integration, conversational UX and the managed service. Zühlke names its clients, an investment-recommender MVP with a compliance engine for VP Bank, generative-AI foundations at Julius Baer, an Airport Operations Plan for Zurich Airport, mostly without outcome numbers. Visium describes method where it cannot name clients: DiSMOL extracting patient-reported outcomes from clinical notes for Idorsia, formula generation for dsm-firmenich. Squirro's Henkel work sits on its own Insights Engine. Past those, the published work is data platforms and software: Navique's INERA platform names no model, Datahouse's deepest ML writing is dated 2021, and G+D Netcetera's named engagements are payments platforms. The Zurich question is which layer the firm built, and whether it was a model. Ask for the AI-specific reference rather than the client roster, establish who owns the model layer when the speech or retrieval engine is a third party's (Spitch behind Berna, Squirro's Insights Engine), and ask what a knowledge graph is worth if the license stops. Zühlke may staff delivery from any of ten country entities and Navique lists Zurich and Fribourg, so confirm which office would hold the team. ## Questions buyers ask ### How many AI agencies work with project-based in Zurich? 7 agencies in our directory combine verified project-based client evidence with a Zurich base. The current top-ranked are Zühlke, Visium, Adnovum — ordered by depth of documented client evidence, then our editorial scoring (portfolio quality, credibility, completeness); placement is never paid. ### How is the project-based model verified? Every agency here documents project-based work on its own site or in a published case study, describing the engagement structure rather than a service-list claim. We never infer the model from portfolio tone, so this list only contains agencies that operate project-based engagements deliberately. --- Source: AIAgencies.eu — the curated register of European AI agencies.
