    Investment & Security

    Transparent costs. Secure technology.

    What does an agent cost?

    Benchmarks for our standard agents — tailored exactly to your requirements.

    Running costs (monthly)CHF 100 – 2,500

    Agents are complex systems and can cause unnecessarily high costs during development and operation if not implemented properly. At CNEXT we rely on standardized and secure technologies that remain cost-efficient in operation — from low-code in Microsoft 365 to fully self-hosted.

    Security & Privacy

    We build on Microsoft Azure and standardized technologies where your data remains in Switzerland or the EU. All implementations strictly follow Swiss DPA and GDPR. No training of AI models with your data. Full audit logging and access control.

    Workflow

    How Rüedu works

    01

    Email arrives

    Rüedu reads and classifies incoming emails in real time — in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.

    02

    Rüedu analyses & acts

    He creates tasks, drafts replies, books appointments or retrieves documents — all automatically.

    03

    Human confirms (when needed)

    In uncertain situations Rüedu pauses and asks. You decide — he executes.

    Human-in-the-Loop

    Always the human in the centre

    Rüedu does not act autonomously unless you want him to. Every action can be secured with a validation step: Rüedu drafts, a team member confirms — only then is it sent. All actions are logged. You have complete transparency and control at all times.

    • Configurable validation thresholds per action
    • Full audit log of all Rüedu actions
    • No sending without human approval (configurable)
    • Transparent: Rüedu shows its reasoning in uncertain cases

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions about Rüedu

    What are AI agents for SMEs?

    AI agents for SMEs are autonomous software systems that use large language models (LLMs) to independently handle tasks — from answering emails and verifying addresses to preparing invoices. CNEXT builds AI agents for Swiss SMEs on Microsoft Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry: cost-efficient operation, a human-in-the-loop principle (the human decides, the agent prepares), and full data sovereignty in Swiss data centres.

    The biggest misconception about AI agents for SMEs: people think it takes a large IT project. In reality, we can build a working prototype in two hours — and go live within two weeks.
