HIESTAND DIGITALZÜRICH

Know where AI pays off in your business. Software and advice from one person in Zürich.

I run two commercial AI products. For startups and SMEs I advise on AI, set it up for their teams, and build and run their software.

SERVICES

What I do for clients.

I build with AI agents. I decide with you what your business needs, check that the result is right, and run it after launch. Every project has a fixed price.

AI consulting

Find out what is worth building, what your team can do itself with AI tools, and what each option costs. You decide who builds it. If I do, the assessment fee comes off the price.

AI setup for your team

AI assistants and agents for your team's everyday work, connected to your documents and systems. I work with one person on your team and write instructions for everyone else. The same tools build and run my two products.

AI systems and automation

AI systems and automations for work where a mistake costs money, for example contracts, research on long documents and outreach. Figures are exact, every statement cites its source, and AI providers keep no customer data.

Platforms and internal tools

Web applications for your team or your customers, with accounts, roles and payments, built to last for years. After launch I run them for you or hand them over to your team.

SELECTED WORK

From sales call to signed contract to paid invoice.

Own product · live, on paid plans

InkDraft turns a sales-call transcript into a proposal, a service agreement and an NDA. The client then reviews the documents, signs electronically and pays inside InkDraft. Code adds up the prices, so the total and the payment schedule match, and every price line needs a quote from the call. Proposals are written from the company's own documents and case studies, and a consistency check finds contradictions before anything is sent to the client. No AI provider keeps customer data or trains on it.

Own product · live, paid per check

ThesisCheck tests an investment thesis against the company's own filings and shows what supports it, what contradicts it and what the filings do not cover. It reads primary filings from the US, the UK, Australia and Japan, in English and Japanese, and every claim cites its source. A report that would take an analyst hours is ready in a few minutes. It also works inside AI assistants such as Claude.

ABOUT

The person behind the work.

I'm Janis Hiestand and I run Hiestand Digital in Zürich. I work with startups and SMEs that want to know what AI can do for them, or already know and need it built.

I founded two AI products, InkDraft and ThesisCheck, and I handle their architecture, operations and customer acquisition myself. Before that I automated sales and content work for an agency, built features for Swiss pension software covering around 500,000 members, and spent nearly three years at Apple solving customers' technical problems in person, in German and English.

As a music artist and producer I built an audience from scratch and reached more than 37 million streams.
