001The problem

Most AI advice isn't made for businesses like yours.

Many AI examples come from large companies with big budgets and specialist teams. What works for them may be too expensive, too complicated, or simply unnecessary for a smaller business.

That makes it difficult to know where to start. It can also be hard to tell whether AI is worth the investment at all.

We start with one part of your business. We work out what could be improved, what it would cost, and whether the result would be worth it. If it makes sense, we build a system that your team can own and run.

002What we do

Three things, done properly.

Advise, build, and test what is actually real. Each stands on its own, so you can hire us for one of them.

01

Consulting

Work out where AI pays.

An honest assessment of your workflows, your data, and what automation is worth. You leave with a ranked list, a cost and a payback against each item, and a recommendation you can act on.

  • Opportunity assessment
  • Build vs. buy
  • Data readiness
  • Roadmap and cost model

02

Implementation

Ship it into production.

AI systems and the software around them. RAG over your own documents, agents that carry real workflows end to end, integrations with the tools you already run, and full applications when the work needs one.

  • RAG and knowledge retrieval
  • Workflow agents and automation
  • Integrations with your stack
  • Web and mobile applications

03

Research

Answers worth more than a guess.

Independent technical research for decisions too expensive to make on hype. Model evaluations against your own data, tooling comparisons, and working prototypes that settle a question before you commit a quarter to it.

  • Model and tooling evaluations
  • Feasibility prototypes
  • Written findings you can act on

003How we work

A small team, working in the open.

We take a limited number of engagements at a time, so the people who scope your project are the people who build it.

  1. 01

    Start with one workflow

    We scope a single workflow with a number attached. You get a clear go or no go before you commit a budget.

  2. 02

    Build in your stack

    Your repository, your cloud, your data, documented well enough that your team can extend it after we leave.

  3. 03

    Hand it over properly

    Evaluation hooks, written documentation, and a working session with your team. They ship the next one.

004About us

Small by design. Serious about what we ship.

JZMB GmbH is a Zurich product and engineering studio for practical AI: useful in daily work, clear enough to trust, and built to belong to your team.

Yours from day one

Your code · Your cloudNo lock-in. No dependency on us.

005Proof

We ship our own software, too.

We design, build, and run our own products. It is the same work we do for clients, which is why we can be specific about what shipping actually takes.

In production

Our own products

Alongside client work we build and operate our own software, including consumer and mobile apps in active use. Everything we recommend, we have run ourselves.

Under NDA

Client engagements

Most of our work sits under NDA, so you will not find a logo wall here. We walk through the specifics, including numbers and architecture, once a conversation is under way.

Notes from the frontier.

Short, practical notes on what we have tested and what held up. No newsletter, no gate.

RAG is not a product

Retrieval fixes a narrow class of problem. Here is how to tell whether yours is in that class before you build anything.

Evaluating agents honestly

Demo success rates are not production success rates. What we measure instead, and why most of it is unglamorous.

The AI stack for a team of forty

What we actually reach for when there is no platform team, no ML engineer, and no appetite for a rewrite.
