AI CONSULTING & DEVELOPMENT

AI Agency Lausanne

AI consulting and development for Swiss companies, from Lausanne. Chatbots, workflow automation and custom AI, hosted in Switzerland or on your own hardware. Free 30-min consultation.

Flowful is present in Lausanne, on the shores of Lake Geneva, alongside our teams near Brussels and in Lyon. We work with Swiss companies that want artificial intelligence they actually control: automations, assistants and custom applications, built on infrastructure you choose rather than whichever cloud the vendor happens to resell.

Sovereign AI, from Swiss cloud to your own server room

Our AI engineering team works with LLM, RAG, multi-agent systems, workflow orchestration, API development, data pipelines and chatbot design. What changes on Swiss projects is where the model runs: open-weight models such as Mistral and Llama can be served from a Swiss datacenter, or from hardware inside your own building, so no prompt, document or customer record crosses a border you did not pick.

Comprehensive support and strategic consulting

An optional AI audit pinpoints where automation will have the most impact. We handle the full cycle: architecture, development, deployment, and iteration. We also train your teams on the tools we deliver so they gain autonomy over time.

Why work with our AI team in Switzerland

Working with our AI team in Lausanne means a partner who is close enough to sit down with and small enough to answer the phone. We understand what Swiss companies are weighing up, because they raise it in the first meeting: not whether AI works, but who ends up holding the data. With 27+ projects delivered and 1,010+ hours saved per month for our clients, artificial intelligence becomes a lever for growth and efficiency, on a deployment that answers to Swiss law rather than to a hyperscaler's terms of service.

Frequently asked questions about our Lausanne presence

Are you actually in Switzerland, or is this run from abroad?

Part of our team is based in Lausanne. We are available for meetings across the Arc lémanique, from Geneva to Montreux, and can travel to Zurich, Basel or Bern when a project calls for it. The rest of the work happens remotely, exactly as it does for our clients near Brussels and in Lyon, so distance never sets the pace of a project.

Where does our data live, and does any of it have to leave Switzerland?

That is your decision, and we make it with you before we build. Three routes. Swiss hosting: providers such as Exoscale, itself headquartered in Lausanne, and Infomaniak run Swiss-only infrastructure under Swiss law, with no US parent company in the chain. EU-only hosting, if your customers sit mostly across the border. Or fully on-premise, where open-weight models run on hardware in your own server room and nothing leaves the building. In all three, data is encrypted, never used to train models, and a Data Processing Agreement comes as standard.

Is a self-hosted model good enough, or are we giving up quality for control?

You give up some, and it is a smaller gap than it was. Open-weight models now handle document search, drafting, classification and internal Q&A at a level that holds up in daily use; the frontier hosted models still lead on the hardest reasoning. So we split it: what touches sensitive data runs on your infrastructure, and anything that does not can use a hosted model if the quality is worth it. Our note on centralising your company's AI covers why that boundary is far easier to hold with one system than with nine tools each doing their own thing.

Does the EU AI Act apply to a Swiss company?

Not directly, but it reaches past the border: if you place an AI system on the EU market, or its output is used there, you are in scope. Switzerland took a different route, signing the Council of Europe's AI convention in March 2025 and opting for sector-specific rules rather than one act, with a consultation draft due by the end of 2026. The revised Federal Act on Data Protection has applied since September 2023 regardless. Our practical guide to the AI Act covers the European dates that actually bind, which is what matters for anything you sell across the border.

How do we start, and what does a first project cost?

Three entry points, depending on how much is already decided. An optional AI Audit maps your processes and scores them by return, and half of its cost is credited toward whatever you build next. A Proof of Concept runs one to two weeks on your real data and answers a single question: does this actually work here? Or you take a ready-made package from €1,000 setup. Every route starts with a free 30-minute call.

Switzerland is new for you. What have you actually built?

Switzerland is our newest market and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. The engineering behind it is not new. Among others: Oskar Architecten, an internal knowledge chatbot and custom agents for an architecture practice; La Maison Belge du Crédit, a customer service automation suite in a regulated sector; and Elée, a multi-agent generator that produces client-ready decks. Our full project list spans Belgium, France and beyond.
