## About
ekona is a Swiss AI boutique headquartered in Basel, Switzerland. ekona designs and builds full end-to-end applications and AI-powered processes that replace SaaS subscriptions and spreadsheet workflows, fully integrated with the latest AI. Engagements combine speed with Swiss engineering precision: working software 4-6 weeks after kickoff, production applications live in 14-18 weeks, and 100% of code, data, and infrastructure owned by the client. ekona has deep delivery experience in life sciences (regulated content validation, medical education, clinical and regulatory documentation) alongside cross-industry work.

## Services
- AI-Native Applications: End-to-end custom applications that replace SaaS subscriptions and spreadsheet processes, including planning and simulation tools, forecasting and optimization engines, master data management, and customer-facing digital products. Full stack (UI, backend, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, SSO/security), deployed in the client's cloud, owned by the client, production-grade from the first sprint.
- AI Process Automation: AI agents embedded inside real business processes: document and vision AI that extracts, compares and validates content, orchestration agents coordinating multi-step workflows, and monitoring, alerting and research agents. Days of manual work done in minutes.
- Enterprise AI Platforms: Governed AI foundations inside the client's cloud: innovation-hub sandboxes, pre-approved module libraries (RAG, document processing, search, visualization), model gateways with cost guardrails, connector ecosystems, and a graduation path from prototype to production without re-platforming. Concept to working prototype in weeks, with governance built in.
- AI Strategy & Discovery: Sharp, time-boxed discovery: stakeholder interviews, use-case identification and prioritization, feasibility and architecture assessment, governance and operating models, and per-use-case roadmaps. A validated roadmap in weeks.

## Positioning
- ekona builds complete software replacements, not add-ons: custom applications and processes that retire SaaS subscriptions and spreadsheet workflows.
- Speed and quality together: rigorous Swiss engineering at startup speed, with working software demoed weekly and no throwaway prototypes.
- Delivery rhythm: kickoff to working software in 4-6 weeks; production application live in 14-18 weeks.
- Full ownership: everything runs in the client's cloud; the client owns 100% of the code, data, and infrastructure.

## Industries
- Life Sciences & Healthcare (deep delivery experience): regulated marketing, packaging and labeling content validation against approved medical claims, medical education content transformation (multi-language adaptive learning, expert video repurposing), clinical and regulatory documentation extraction with audit-ready traceability
- Supply Chain & Production: demand forecasting, constrained supply chain planning, inventory optimization, logistics automation
- Retail & Consumer: forecasting and pricing intelligence, price-elasticity simulation, customer-facing digital products
- Cross-industry: financial scenario simulation, master data management, governed enterprise AI platforms
