Automated reporting and practical AI for Swiss companies.

Answers questions about your figures
Why did sales drop in September?
Checked 4 figures in the sales table
Answer: September sales fell to CHF 324,980, down CHF 64,960 from August's CHF 389,940. Most of the drop came from Equipment, which fell from CHF 194,830 to CHF 133,980.
How it was counted Summed Sales CHF by month for all regions and product lines, then compared September with August by product line.

From a shared Excel file to a cloud data platform, we work where your data already lives.
Office tools, accounting and ERP systems, data warehouses and AI models: we connect to what you already use and build on it. Microsoft, Amazon and Google all run data centres in Switzerland, so your data can stay in the country.

Where it starts
Does this sound like your company?
Most projects start with a problem like one of these, not with a technology. Choose the one closest to yours to see how we usually fix it.
-
Reports that take days to prepare
And when the figures finally arrive, people still argue about which ones are right. -
Too much manual work
Hours go into copying figures between spreadsheets, systems and emails. -
Everything stops when one person is away
Key steps live in one person’s head or personal spreadsheet, and nobody else can run them. -
You know AI could help, but not where to start
You want a straight answer on what is worth doing in your business, and what is not.
What we build
Custom AI systems, built around your problem.
We build AI systems for each client, for whatever process, problem or question you bring. The five below are examples Rhyline has built. Each one runs live in our AI Lab, so you can try it before you talk to us.
Five examples from the AI Lab
- Rhyline InboxInbox triage Sorts every email in a shared inbox, summarises it and drafts the reply. Nothing is sent until someone approves it. Try it live
- Rhyline ReaderInvoice and document reader Reads invoices and delivery notes, from a PDF or a phone photo, and enters them into Excel or your accounting for someone to check. Try it live
- Rhyline AnswersAnswers from your own documents Answers staff questions from your procedures, manuals and price lists, and shows which document each answer comes from. Try it live
- Rhyline DataAsk your data Answers questions about sales, hours or stock with the figure, a chart and the calculation, and sends the weekly report on its own. Try it live
- Rhyline ProjectsHours and fees per project Shows where the hours and fees of each project go, phase by phase, and flags overruns before they reach the invoice. Try it live
We also build Power BI reports, automations and internal tools, inside the systems you already use.
How we work and what it costs
Small steps at fixed prices. You decide after each one.
It starts with a free call.
Bring any problem, idea or question, from a report that takes days to a plan for AI. We listen, show you live demos of the AI systems Rhyline has built and how they could fit your company, and tell you honestly what is worth doing. The call takes as long as it needs.
-
Operations check
Online, or a visit to your office
We look at how the work is done today and give you 3 to 5 opportunities in writing, ranked by effort and impact, with a rough cost and time for each.
Online: freeAt your office: CHF 100 for the visit
-
Pilot
About 2 weeks
We test one solution on a sample of your real data, against a target we agree at the start. You see the result before deciding anything else.
From CHF 5,000Fixed price, agreed before we start
-
Build and go live
Usually 4 to 6 weeks
We connect the solution to your systems, train your team and hand over documentation they can use without us.

Rhyline Care
Monthly
We keep it running, adjust it when your emails, documents or systems change, keep the AI model up to date and help your team.

Your data
How we handle your data
It is usually the first question before AI is allowed near emails, invoices or customer records. These are the rules we work by.
Your data stays in your systems.
We build inside the systems and accounts you already use, so your data stays where it is today. Before we start, we tell you in which country each service processes your data, and you choose.
Your data is not used to train AI models.
We only use business AI services whose terms exclude it, and we tell you which ones before we start.
Agreements come before access.
We sign a confidentiality agreement before we see real data, and a data processing agreement under the Swiss Data Protection Act where the work needs one.
A person stays in control.
The AI suggests, and your team approves before anything is sent or booked.
Our access ends with the project.
When the work is finished, we remove our access to your systems.
You own what we build.
It runs in your accounts, and you receive the documentation and access to everything, so you are never tied to us.
Questions
Questions before the first call.
Something else on your mind? Our AI assistant knows how we work, what it costs and how we handle your data.
What does it cost?
The first call is free, whatever you want to discuss. An Operations check online is also free; at your office it costs CHF 100 for the visit. A pilot of about two weeks has a fixed price from CHF 5,000. The build has a fixed price that we agree after the pilot, and Rhyline Care starts at CHF 390 a month.
How long does it take until something works?
After the first call, the Operations check takes one video call or one visit to your office. A pilot takes about two weeks and runs on a sample of your real data. Building and going live usually takes 4 to 6 weeks after that.
Is our data safe? What about the nFADP and the GDPR?
Your data stays in your systems and accounts. Before we start, we tell you in which country each service processes it, and you choose. We sign a confidentiality agreement before we see real data, and a data processing agreement under the Swiss Data Protection Act (nFADP) where the work needs one. If you also process data of people in the EU, we work to the GDPR as well. We only use AI services whose terms exclude training on your data, and we remove our access when the project ends.
Do you work with bexio, Abacus, SAP or just Excel?
We work with the systems you already have and don’t ask you to change them. Most projects start from Excel and Microsoft 365. bexio and Abacus offer interfaces and exports we can connect to, and for SAP we use its standard exports or interfaces. In the first call we check what your version and licence allow.
In which language do you work, and do you come to our office?
On this website we work with you in English: calls, meetings, documents and support. The solutions themselves can read and write German, French, Italian and English. We meet by video call or phone, and if you prefer to meet at your office, anywhere in Switzerland, the visit costs CHF 100.
What happens if the pilot doesn’t work?
Before the pilot starts, we agree a measurable target with you, for example hours saved per week or the share of invoices read correctly. If the pilot misses it, you see the results and the reasons, and you are free to stop there. You pay the agreed pilot price and nothing more. We would rather find out in two weeks than in six months.
Do we need to know what is wrong, or which technology we need?
No. Tell us what you want to improve, for example a month-end that takes a week, figures that are typed in twice or customer emails that wait too long for an answer. Finding the cause and the right tool is our job, and we tell you when something isn’t worth building.
Why work with Rhyline rather than a large consultancy?
You work directly with the person who builds, from the first call to the finished solution, with no hand-overs. You own everything we build: it runs in your accounts and comes with documentation, so you are never tied to us. And you start with a small fixed-price step, so you can judge our work before you commit to more.
Tell us what you want to improve.
In a free call we look at it together, show you live demos of what we have built and tell you honestly whether it is worth doing and what it would cost. In English and without obligation.
