I support Swiss companies with practical AI consulting, turning potential into a clear, viable use case, from the first process view to a measurable pilot and an introduction people actually use.
We begin with the process and its value, not with a tool.
A focused pilot creates a sound basis for the next decision.
Roles, data, security and adoption are considered from the start.
The right starting point
Many companies are already experimenting with AI. What is often missing is the connection to a specific process, an accountable team and a metric that shows whether the work creates genuine value.
I bring business teams, management and IT together, structure the relevant opportunities and translate them into a pilot that is small enough to learn from and relevant enough to support a real decision.
How we can work together
The starting point depends on where you are today. Most engagements begin with a compact Opportunity Sprint and only expand when the business case is convincing.
Clarity
We examine selected workflows, identify meaningful AI opportunities and prioritise them by value, feasibility, data readiness and risk.
Evidence
The prioritised use case is tested with real users and data as a focused pilot, with clear success criteria and human quality control.
Adoption
I support day-to-day adoption, coordinate internal and external contributors, and help establish clear responsibilities and practical guardrails.
Practical applications
Not every process needs AI. Strong use cases combine recurring knowledge work, sufficient context and a clear point of human judgement.

Approach
Technology is only one part of adoption. Process understanding, clear ownership and a willingness to learn from real use matter just as much.
We examine the current workflow, friction points, participants, data and decisions.
Use cases are prioritised by impact, feasibility, risk and learning value.
A focused pilot is built close to the real workflow and tested against clear criteria.
Roles, guardrails, training and feedback turn the pilot into a reliable way of working.
Built, not only advised
Tendaro is a Swiss SaaS platform that analyses complex tender documents, structures requirements and risks, and makes approved company knowledge usable. I built it, which means I understand not only the strategy, but also the trade-offs between user needs, product logic, data quality and commercial value.

Strong foundations
You want to begin with one relevant process rather than transform the entire company at once.
A business team takes ownership and provides real users and process knowledge.
Value, quality and risk should be measurable before a wider rollout.
IT, data protection and business owners are involved early.
Frequently asked questions
Essential answers for Swiss companies looking for a sensible starting point or a concrete next step.
Start with a clearly bounded business process that includes recurring work, usable data and a measurable goal. An Opportunity Sprint creates the decision basis before significant time and budget are committed to a pilot.
Strong candidates include document and knowledge workflows, sales preparation, customer service, reporting and repetitive back-office work. Value, data readiness, risk and a clear point of human review matter most.
Over one to two weeks, selected processes are understood, opportunities assessed and the strongest use case prioritised. The output is a business case, pilot brief and realistic 90-day roadmap.
Yes. Nicolai Zaccariello works from Basel with Swiss companies and teams. Workshops and alignment sessions can take place on site or remotely.
Yes. The work can extend from use-case prioritisation through a focused pilot to adoption. Where specialist engineering is needed, internal experts or suitable implementation partners are involved transparently.
First conversation
In an initial conversation, we clarify where AI can realistically help, what should be tested first and whether an Opportunity Sprint makes sense for your organisation.
