Swiss Product Studio
Verified: the agency confirmed ownership from a company email address, and the listing passed editorial review#9Zurich, Switzerland
Swiss Product Studio is a Zurich-based AI automation studio building custom AI agents, workflow automation, and internal tools for growing companies. Our founder, Karlis Kivlenieks, has worked in automation since 2020 and with generative AI since January 2021, starting with OpenAI’s GPT-3. We connect the tools companies already use, reduce repetitive work, and keep people in control of important decisions. We work with a small number of clients at a time, taking projects from a defined operational problem to working software. Clients own their systems, data, and code, with clear documentation to help their teams understand and maintain what we build. Our work includes expense automation that gave a finance team a working day back each month, AI-assisted investment research, and customer-feedback analysis that turns support tickets and reviews into clear weekly product insights.

Local Insight
AI Development Agencies in Switzerland
Custom AI build in Switzerland is mostly sold by organizations that were already writing software for the same buyer, which makes development here a different purchase than it is in a startup market. G+D Netcetera is the largest name, over a thousand staff and part of Giesecke+Devrient, but its named clients—SIX, Viseca, Valiant, DKB—sit behind payments and platform engagements rather than AI delivery. Squirro builds on its own Insights Engine, publishing more than €20 million saved over three years at a European financial institution and 45+ data sources unified for Henkel. Unit8 builds on Palantir Foundry from Lausanne, with a blending-optimization algorithm reported at roughly CHF 400,000 a year at a Swiss chemical company. Zühlke and Adnovum bring engineering histories reaching back to 1968 and 1988; Visium builds bespoke systems weighted toward pharma; Datahouse publishes method rather than outcomes, including a transfer-learning image classifier at 85% accuracy across eleven categories, dated 2021; ELCA and Navique work the platform layer underneath.
The screen that matters in this category is what you own when the engagement ends, because a large share of the published delivery here assumes somebody else's platform: Squirro's engine, Unit8's Foundry, the Spitch speech stack inside Adnovum's Berna voicebot. That is often why those systems shipped, but it changes the renewal conversation, so ask for license and run costs alongside the build quote. Nobody on this page publishes an hourly rate, which makes that written breakdown the only price signal available before a proposal lands. Then ask what the last system does when it is wrong. This bench is engineering-led rather than research-led—teams that will build to a specification and expect you to bring one.
