Pioneer partners talking on a terrace above Basel

Partner programme for expertise partnerships. Develop and trial industry solutions together.

You know your business. We bring AI, software development and automation. As a pioneer partner, you trial suitable solutions in day-to-day work, help shape their further development and benefit from agreed special terms.

To start with, we are focusing the programme on companies in construction and real estate.

The first conversation is free and without obligation. We offer any subsequent analysis or collaboration separately.

Start with one clearly defined process. Expand based on measured benefit.

A specific workflow instead of a large software package. A clearly agreed framework instead of open-ended costs. Actual benefits determine whether to expand further.

The starting point

Your day-to-day work determines what gets developed.

Assigning photos to a building project, reworking job reports, gathering documents for a property assessment or entering information several times: tasks like these are possible starting points for taking work off your plate.

We don’t start withWhat software do we need?
But withWhich workflow costs you time or unnecessary effort?

But which solution fits your workflows? What can be connected to your existing systems? And what is really worth it?

That is exactly what we find out together. You don’t need to bring a finished project plan or decide today which products you want to use later.

Discussing an industry process using a model
The collaboration

You bring real-world experience. We bring the technical delivery.

A pioneer partnership combines using suitable solutions with developing them specifically for your industry. We start with a manageable use case and assess together what works in day-to-day operations.

Your company

You contribute your workflows, your expertise and feedback from daily use. This shows what really helps and where something is still missing.

Swiss AI Agency

We work with you to understand the problem, choose sensible first steps and support the rollout. Throughout, we keep effort and economic benefit in view.

Swiss AI Labs

Our technical development team reviews software, AI models, data and interfaces. It creates the conditions for trialling and operating the agreed solutions.

This gives you not just access to software, but a direct exchange between your business and our development team.
Your benefits

What you gain as a pioneer partner.

Test solutions in your own daily work

You get early access to the agreed solutions and test them in a specific workflow to see whether they genuinely reduce the workload. Only then do we decide together whether and how to expand.

Help shape further development

Your experience feeds directly into development. We discuss openly which requests can be applied more widely, what would be custom and what can be implemented economically.

Get personal support

You have a dedicated contact person and regular joint meetings. Problems, progress and next steps stay traceable.

Benefit from pioneer terms

In return for your involvement, we agree preferential terms for selected products and services. Before the start, we set out in writing which benefits apply and for how long.

Possible focus areas

Where we can start together.

The first focus emerges from your starting point. The following topics show possible directions. Before the start, we clarify which solutions are already usable and what would still need to be developed. We check suitability and effort separately for each use.

Site and project documentation

Bring photos, plans and project information together more clearly and find them more easily.

Property analysis, feasibility and property brochures

Prepare documents and information for property assessments, feasibility studies and property brochures in a structured way. MABEX is one possible approach. Professional assessments and approvals remain with the people responsible.

Job reports and scheduling

Link services, working hours and assignments more effectively. We check where double data entry can be dropped and information passed on more easily.

Estimating, quotes and invoicing

Simplify recurring steps from the specification of work to the invoice. To do this, we review existing systems and approaches such as Easy Factura – without hastily replacing proven software.

Meetings and communication

Prepare and follow up minutes, tasks and queries more effectively. Depending on your needs, Meeting Intelligence, email automation or voice-based assistants may be an option.

Documents, knowledge and internal workflows

Make information accessible faster, prepare documents and connect recurring work steps. We start where your team can verify the benefit in daily work.

Who the programme is for

For companies that want to help shape it.

The focus is on construction, trades and building services businesses, real estate companies, estate agents and property developers who want to improve specific workflows and contribute their practical experience.

What matters is not the number of employees. What counts is a relevant process, a responsible contact person and a willingness to try solutions in practice. We accept companies whose needs and level of involvement match our available capacity.

A small business can also be a good fit if a topic can be clearly narrowed down. For more complex organisations, we also clarify responsibilities, IT requirements and the teams involved.

Only looking for a ready-made solution? Then a single product or a clearly defined project may be a better fit. A pioneer partnership is not a requirement for working with Swiss AI.
Your contribution

What we need from you.

For the collaboration to make progress, we need direct insight into the chosen workflow and feedback from the people who work with it.

  • A dedicated contact person: someone coordinates internally and can bring about decisions.
  • Time for trials: selected staff test the solution within the agreed framework.
  • Open feedback: you tell us what helps, what doesn’t work and what is missing in daily work.

We clarify the effort required and how data is handled before the start. A public reference, your company logo or joint promotion are not automatically part of the partnership – we agree them with you separately.

How we start

Four steps from the introductory call to the deployment decision.

Get to know each other, no obligation

You tell us about your business and a workflow you want to improve. Together we check whether the pioneer partner model is a good fit for you in principle.

Clarify the starting point and potential

For an in-depth analysis, you receive a separate quote in advance. We look at processes, systems, data and effort. You receive a recommendation for a first use case – regardless of whether a partnership follows.

Trial and develop together

If the collaboration is a good fit, we agree scope, budget, involvement and duration. We choose a first process, implement suitable approaches and test them with your team. We prioritise further topics by benefit and feasibility.

Evaluate and expand selectively

We look at the actual results: Does the work get easier? Is information available faster? Is the quality good enough? This leads to a decision: develop further, use in production or end the use case.

This leads to a decision

Not every approach has to be continued. Finding out that something isn’t worth it is also a useful basis for decisions. We set out in the agreed framework how a stopped use case affects budget and collaboration.
The framework

You know what you are paying for. And what is still open.

The programme is a paid collaboration, not a free open-ended trial. But you don’t have to commit to a long-term overall project in the first conversation. After the analysis, you decide separately on the next step.

Analysis

A clearly described, one-off quote for an in-depth review of your starting point and a recommendation on how to proceed.

Pioneer partnership

An agreed monthly fee for the selected usage rights, support and a limited budget for adjustments and further development. The exact scope is set out in the quote – not everything is included automatically.

Operation and additional services

We show infrastructure, external services and special custom development transparently. Additional costs arise only within the framework agreed in advance or after your approval.

No rigid product roadmap: we won’t promise you today which untested feature will be ready in a particular month. Instead, we agree the next work step, the available framework and the criteria for the joint evaluation.

The right operating model: depending on your needs, solutions can run locally on your premises, in a suitable cloud or in a combination. Before implementation, we clarify which option fits technically and economically and where data is processed. Not every solution is available in every operating model.

Possible later

Experience can lead to further collaboration.

If you use a solution successfully in your own business, you can later also advise other companies with your expertise. For suitable pioneer partners, we therefore consider an additional role as a Swiss AI expertise partner.

You contribute your industry knowledge – for example in professional advice, rollout or support for joint client projects. Swiss AI provides the technical services agreed in each case.

This is a separate collaboration with clear tasks, quality requirements and separately agreed remuneration. It does not arise automatically and is not a requirement for taking part in the pioneer programme.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about the pioneer partnership.

Do we already need to know which software we need?

No. A specific workflow that costs you time or unnecessary effort is enough as a starting point. We check together which products or technical approaches fit.

Are the solutions already finished?

That depends on the product and feature. Before the start, we make clear what is already usable, what is being trialled and what would still need to be developed. We do not present an early test version as a finished production solution.

What does taking part cost?

The introductory call is free. We offer an in-depth analysis and the subsequent partnership separately. Costs depend on scope, support, usage and infrastructure. Before you place an order, you get clarity about the agreed services and costs.

How long are we committed?

Sending an enquiry does not commit you to anything. After the analysis, you decide separately on a partnership. The respective quote sets out the term, termination and the handling of use cases that are not pursued.

Will all our requests be implemented?

No. We prioritise by benefit, effort and suitability. Some requirements improve a standard product; others are company-specific or not currently feasible. Custom extra work does not silently become part of the partnership.

Can we keep using the solutions after the pioneer phase?

For successfully introduced solutions, we agree further use, licence terms, operation and support in good time. This does not include free or unlimited use of all future products. We also agree how your data is handled and how a possible exit works.

Does our data have to go into a public cloud?

No, that is not a requirement. We clarify the requirements and examine local, private or hybrid operating models. We discuss storage locations, access and any external services before deployment. You don’t need to send sensitive documents for the introductory call.

Is this the same as a sales partnership?

No. As a pioneer partner, you use and trial solutions in your own business. Sales, delivery or expertise partners, by contrast, work with Swiss AI to serve other clients. Switching or taking on an additional role is possible, but we review and agree it separately.
