Swiss Product Studio
Verified: the agency confirmed ownership from a company email address, and the listing passed editorial review#7Zurich, 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 Zurich
Custom AI development is Zurich's deepest category, and the seven listed agencies split by where the work sits rather than by what they call it. Zühlke, G+D Netcetera and Adnovum are large engineering firms building AI inside systems they were already delivering: Zühlke's investment recommender for VP Bank pairs the model with a compliance engine that filters clients automatically, Netcetera's RiSIC classifies health-insurance claims for waste, abuse and fraud, and Adnovum's Berna voicebot for Gebäudeversicherung Bern transcribes Swiss German and handles up to 2,700 calls a day during storm events. Visium is the AI-native specialist, with a pharma-weighted case library naming Idorsia, dsm-firmenich, Nestlé and swisstopo. Squirro builds enterprise search and retrieval on its own engine, Navique works the data platforms beneath the models, and Datahouse publishes its methods in a technical blog rather than a client library.
Stack specificity is the screen that matters most, and the honest thing to say is that Zurich publishes less of it than London does—Swiss banking and pharma confidentiality accounts for most of that. Ask where the model is allowed to run before you ask what it does. Ask too whose model it is: Adnovum's voicebot is built on Spitch's speech technology and integrated by Adnovum, which is a normal arrangement and worth establishing before you scope who supports what.
