How does CiaoBob run an AI project?

An AI project with CiaoBob starts with a free diagnosis and reaches production along a clear path. No oversized departments: the founder follows the project directly, your data stays yours, and GDPR compliance is built into the architecture from the start.

01 How does a project go, from idea to production?

The path is always the same, adapted to your case: first we work out whether and where AI is worth it, then we build only what creates real value. No cathedrals: we start from a narrow case, put it into production, and grow from there.

StageWhat happens
1 · DiagnosisA free ~30-minute call: which process, whether it is worth it, where to start.
2 · AnalysisAvailable data, feasibility, what can leave and what stays in-house.
3 · BuildExtract → automate → integrate: the solution slots into your existing tools.
4 · ProductionRollout on the real workflow, with human review where needed.
5 · SupportThe solution stays alive: maintenance and evolution over time.

02 Who follows my project?

The founder follows it directly, from strategy to development and release. It is a deliberate choice: direct expertise and a single point of contact, not a chain of departments. Fewer intermediaries means faster decisions and a project that stays close to your problem.

03 How do you handle my data?

Your data stays yours and isolated to the project: a zero-training policy, encryption in transit and at rest where the architecture provides for it, least-privilege access. GDPR compliance is part of the project, not a final add-on. What an external service may process and what must stay in-house is decided together, in the analysis.

04 What do I need to get started?

All it takes is a process that weighs on you — orders by hand, documents to read, reports nobody has time for — and the will to lighten it. You need no technical skills and no ready-made brief: the diagnosis is there precisely to turn the problem into a concrete first step.

// frequently asked
How long does a CiaoBob project take?

It depends on scope: a narrow first case is far quicker than a full system. The realistic timeline is defined in the analysis, after the diagnosis — no blind promises.

Who maintains the solution after release?

The solution is not abandoned at launch: support for maintenance and evolution is included. The terms are agreed based on how critical the solution is for you.

Do you only work in the Marche region?

No. CiaoBob is based in Civitanova Marche but works with businesses across Italy; projects are run remotely without issues.
