About this list
Generative AI in public institutions is the highest-stakes version of the category, because a fabricated answer in an official channel is not a product defect but a failure of the record. The agencies here hold public-sector evidence alongside generative delivery. Adnovum's Berna is the clearest deployed example—generated dialogue producing structured claim files for a public insurer, with callers able to reach a human at any point and deletion deadlines published. Visium's generative work runs into regulated pharma and it has delivered for swisstopo. Unit8 published its WWF wildfire-spread model in full, Squirro brings retrieval discipline from central-bank and tier-one banking work, and Hybrid Heroes, DataNorth and ELCA cover public media, workforce enablement and Swiss administration.
The public-specific screen has two parts. Where does generated text meet a citizen, and what stands between the model and that moment? And can the institution explain afterwards, on the record, how a given output was produced? Vendors whose published work answers both—naming the human fallback, the retention rule and the escalation path—have understood what this sector actually buys.

Expert Insight
Why public-sector fit matters for Generative AI
Public procurement is a skill separate from engineering—an agency that has already won and delivered under tender rules costs less in process friction than one learning them on your project.
Public deployments carry documentation and transparency obligations commercial work does not, and the agencies here have published work that survived them.
The EU AI Act lands hardest on public-sector use cases—partners with documented public systems are further along the compliance curve than the market average.
Frequently asked questions
17 agencies in our directory combine verified public-sector client evidence with documented Generative AI work. The current top-ranked are Storm Technology, DataNorth AI, Kortical — ordered by depth of documented client evidence, then our editorial scoring (portfolio quality, credibility, completeness); placement is never paid.
Published rates across this page's agencies run €45–130 per hour (median ~€108). Project totals depend on scope — the rate index at /rates breaks the computed bands down by region, country and team size.
Each listed agency has at least two documented, named public-sector clients — published case studies or engagement descriptions our research actually read, with source URLs stored per client. Logo walls without published evidence carry no weight, which is what separates this list from self-declared directories.
