Forward-Deployed AI
for SMBs.

We go inside your business, learn how it works, and build AI that actually runs in it. Not demos. Not slide decks. Production deployments.

How we deploy

Scope, Build, Deploy, Run

Most teams try to AI their way out of broken processes. We fix the process first, then deploy intelligence where it counts, inside your perimeter.

SCOPE

We map how work actually flows in your business. Not how the org chart says it should.

BUILD

Custom agents and integrations. Your data, your systems, your perimeter.

DEPLOY

AI ships into your infrastructure. Self-hosted sandboxes, zero public exposure.

RUN

Agents work 24/7 with monitoring, evals, and a human in the loop when it counts.

Services

What we deploy

Every service ships as a production deployment, configured to your systems, running in your perimeter.

AI Chatbots

Smart conversational systems for customer support, lead qualification, and voice. Built on your data, trained on your processes, connected to your systems.

AI Office

Your AI operations manager. Email triage, calendar management, CRM hygiene, documents, financial tracking, all handled by your dedicated Hermes agent.

CRA Concierge

CRA Article 14 reporting workflows for EU manufacturers, Audit, Setup, and Managed service tiers. Sept 2026 deadline readiness.

Custom Solutions

When off-the-shelf doesn't fit, we build from scratch. Prototype to production, with the same team throughout, no hand-offs to junior consultants.

GEO — AI Search Visibility

Get your business cited inside ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity answers. We structure your content so AI systems can quote it — and we monitor your citations weekly, because AI answers change silently.

Managed Google Workspace

Complete setup and ongoing management of Google Workspace for your company. Domain, users, security, support, and AI-powered automation on request.

Paid Ads Operations

Continuous Google and Meta ads management with guardrails: daily optimization cycles, every change logged and reversible, spend caps and anomaly alerts by default. Built on our own multi-client operations stack.

Process Engineering

We audit your existing workflows, identify bottlenecks, and redesign them with AI augmentation at the core. The human stays in the loop, but only where it counts.

SEO

Technical and structural search optimization that compounds: clean architecture, Core Web Vitals, schema, and content built on evidence — maintained monthly, reported in plain language.

SOP Documentation

We write the operating procedures that make your AI systems sustainable. Runbooks, escalation logic, quality frameworks, so automation actually sticks.

System Integration

Cutting-edge AI deployment and migration. We bring intelligent systems into your existing infrastructure, not the other way around. Training included.

vCAIO

Strategic + operational AI department. Full governance, risk management, and AI leadership, without the full-time hire.

Workflow Automation

AI-driven workflows that scale. Lead generation, CRM integrations, onboarding sequences, reporting pipelines, automated end-to-end with reliable error handling.

Client Results

Real outcomes from real projects. See how we've helped teams save time, reduce friction, and deliver more.

Building Cleaning · Leverkusen

A Website That Keeps Winning Local Customers

Problem: Cleaning companies win jobs through local search, property managers and homeowners look for 'Gebäudereinigung Leverkusen' or for a specific service like glass or stairwell cleaning. Most agency websites are launched once and then left alone: outdated prices, broken pages, quietly slipping Google rankings.

Result: 328 updates shipped since launch, a live German-language website with a page for every service and city, practical expert content, and an AI agent that keeps it current around the clock
Natural Stone E-Commerce · Vita di Marmo

Selling Premium Stone Online, Direct to Buyers

Problem: Premium Sicilian stone, Perlato, Basalto, Travertino, reaches German buyers through layers of middlemen, and the quarry's price advantage never reaches them. A simple product catalog doesn't sell stone either: architects and renovators compare materials, read up, and check delivery and legal terms before they ever send an inquiry.

Result: 494 updates shipped since launch, a live online shop with rich product pages and expert buying guides, selling at vitadimarmo.com, kept current by an AI agent
Construction Firm · Leverkusen

Found First for Every Service They Offer

Problem: When a builder searches for a renovation, a loft conversion, or a demolition, they compare companies by how well each service is explained. A one-page brochure site loses those searches to competitors who cover every service in depth, and a website nobody maintains slowly disappears from Google.

Result: 495 updates shipped since launch, 9 in-depth German service pages, a live website that keeps improving, and an AI agent on watch
Window & Door Sales · Schüco Partner

An Online Configurator That Pre-Sells Windows

Problem: Every window sale starts with a configuration: size, glazing, subsidy eligibility, financing. On a catalog-only website, each of those becomes a phone call for the sales team, and digital leads drift to competitors while they wait.

Result: 329 updates shipped since launch, an online configurator plus financing, subsidy, review, and FAQ pages, live at fenstervertrieb.com
Cyber Insurance · Content Platform

Threat Intelligence, Fresh Every Morning

Problem: An underwriter pricing cyber risk has to know what changed in the threat landscape this week, with no time to read the sources. A static website can't solve that. It takes a production line for intelligence.

Result: 1,505 updates shipped, a daily intelligence engine delivering fresh briefings every morning, NIS2 country coverage, and measurement of what underwriters actually read
Construction Group · 3 Brands

Three Companies, One Shared System

Problem: Three companies under one roof, a general contractor, a natural stone distributor, a window supplier. The back office ran on email, spreadsheets, and memory. Customer requests fell through the cracks, and nobody knew what the other brands were doing.

Result: One system quietly running all three brands, 7,852 pieces of company knowledge captured, so nothing depends on someone's memory anymore
Deploy philosophy

Most businesses are drowning in repetitive decisions that a trained monkey could make, and paying senior people to make them. We deploy agents that handle the repetition, inside your perimeter, behind your firewall, with your audit trail.

About

Built for businesses that mean it.

AI hype is cheap. Real automation that survives contact with messy real-world data, unclear processes, and actual users, that's harder. We've done it across dozens of engagements. Our work doesn't look flashy in demos. It looks like Tuesday morning: quiet, reliable, saving hours.

Approach

How we work.

We start by understanding your process, not by selling you a product. Most engagements begin with a focused audit that produces a clear picture of what's automatable and what isn't worth automating. We price for outcomes, not time. Fixed-scope engagements, clear milestones, no surprise invoices.

Free Deployment Audit

Let's find the quick win.

30 minutes. No pitch. We'll scope one workflow and show you where AI runs inside your business.
