AI Product Development: from idea to a running product.

An AI product is more than a call to a language model. It needs data, an interface, sign-in, billing, security and someone to run it. matd ag develops AI products from the first version to operations, and has done so several times with its own products.

Development happens in Rickenbach TG. I work with companies from Eastern Switzerland and all of German-speaking Switzerland, on site or by video.

Who it is for

For companies and founders with a product idea that has AI at its core.

Typically SMEs that want to turn their expertise into a product, and founders who need a first version that clients pay for.

  • SMEs with a product idea from their own field
  • Founders and sole traders before the first version
  • Teams whose AI prototype never reaches production

Typical problems

Where AI products get stuck.

The prototype works, the product doesn't

A demo is built quickly. Sign-in, permissions, cost per request and failure cases decide whether clients can use the product.

AI costs without a limit

Every model call costs money. Without limits and measurement, a successful product of all things becomes expensive.

Data and labelling

Where client data is stored and how AI content is labelled must be right from the start, not fixed later.

Approach

Four steps.

As a sprint, ongoing support or interim technical leadership: the ways of working together are on the engagement models page.

  1. 01

    Initial call

    You describe the idea and the problem it should solve. We clarify whether AI is the right means.

  2. 02

    Smallest useful version

    We define what the first version must do, and what it deliberately won't do yet.

  3. 03

    Build and test

    Development in short stages, with you as the first user. Every stage is visible and usable.

  4. 04

    Operations

    Hosting, monitoring, limits on AI costs and further development. On request, matd ag runs it.

Frequently asked

What SMEs want to know before the first call.

How is AI product development different from AI consulting?

AI consulting clarifies where AI helps in your business and puts a first step into practice. AI product development builds a standalone product that your clients use or buy.

Which AI models do you use?

Depending on the task, models from different providers, for example for text, speech or images. The choice follows quality, cost and data protection, not a particular vendor.

What does developing an AI product cost?

It depends on the scope of the first version. After the initial call you receive an estimate; the ways of working together are on the engagement models page.

Where do the product and data run?

matd ag's products run on servers in Frankfurt and store client data in the EU. For your product we clarify the storage location before we start.

Who owns the code and the data?

We put that in writing before we start: rights to the code, operations and further development. Client data never belongs to matd ag.

Do you only work with companies from Eastern Switzerland?

No. matd ag is based in Rickenbach TG and works with companies from all of German-speaking Switzerland, on site or by video.
