What does an individual AI business application cost?
Individual AI business applications start at €25,000 net. The exact range depends on scope and integration depth and is estimated dependably in the Discovery Workshop — that estimate is part of the workshop outcome, not something submitted later.
How does a Discovery Workshop work, and what does it cost?
One working day, around six hours, €2,900 net. We analyse your business process, sharpen the use case and examine how it can become a dependable application. You receive a documented basis for your decision: target process, prioritised requirements, solution architecture at concept level, integration and governance requirements, MVP boundary, and an estimate of effort and project scope. If you commission a project from €25,000 net afterwards, the workshop fee is credited in full.
What if the workshop argues against the project?
That is a result too. The decision basis is yours and is delivered regardless of whether a project follows — you can use it internally, for another route or against one. Often the sounder answer is an existing product rather than a bespoke build; in that case we say so.
Who owns the code and the data?
You. Full code and IP ownership, no vendor lock-in. Your data stays where you want it — on the device, in your own infrastructure, or in an EU cloud.
Who operates and maintains the application after rollout?
The application runs natively on the customer's macOS systems and does not depend on permanently available ZERYON infrastructure. After rollout, ZERYON can take over technical maintenance. Depending on the agreed service scope this covers adaptation to new macOS versions, security updates, bug fixes, further development and the upkeep of required interfaces and dependencies. The customer can in principle continue to use the delivered version without an ongoing maintenance contract.
What happens if ZERYON is no longer available?
A business-critical application should not depend on its original developer continuing to exist. For bespoke macOS applications we can therefore agree a handover arrangement: technical documentation, build and deployment documentation, and — for a defined failure case — a contractually governed source code escrow or handover solution. That gives a qualified macOS developer the means to carry the application forward. The application belongs in your operation. Not in dependence on us.
Have you built something like this before?
Five times for ourselves: GARION, KAIRON, AIRPROOF, Course Studio and ORTYON are our own applications in daily use, on the same architecture we would use for your project. Client projects are delivered under NDA and are intentionally not shown here.
How long does a project take?
It depends on scope and integration depth; the modular architecture shortens development time. You do not get the concrete range as a guess on the phone but as part of the documented workshop results — together with the MVP boundary that defines what goes live first.
Which platforms do you develop for?
We build native macOS applications, iPhone apps (iOS) and — where it makes project-specific sense — iPad applications (iPadOS). We do not build Windows applications: focusing on one platform allows native performance, premium usability and high maintainability instead of spreading compromises across several operating systems. If your decision-makers work on Mac and iPad, you are in the right place; if your organisation runs Windows workstations only, we are the wrong partner for bespoke applications.
Do you develop off-the-shelf software?
No. We build no off-the-shelf software and no generic SaaS products. Every AI business application is designed and built as custom software for your business processes — on a proven, modular architecture that reduces development time and secures long-term extensibility.
Do you support on-premises?
Yes. Depending on requirements we deliver cloud, hybrid or on-premises operation — including the option to run AI components on your own infrastructure.
