Halvic Labs is the Swiss software workshop of Nicolas Schmid, AI systems architect. We pair the speed of coding agents with 20 years of real software craft: production-grade AI and agent systems — Swiss-hosted and auditable.
Agents write the code — faster than any human can. We bring the discipline that turns it into a product, not technical debt.
Architecture, tests, code review — for AI-generated code too. Vibe-coding gets you to 80%. We ship the last 20%.
Hundreds of apps, no customers — that's not a code problem. We think engineering and market together.
Postgres, S3, MCP, open standards. If a standard exists, we use it. Your data leaves with you, in formats other tools can read.
Swiss data centres, EU data residency, stated in every contract. No US hyperscaler in the critical path — verifiable in every deployment.
No handoffs to a support layer. The people who shipped the code answer your message. Same hand on the pen.
A natural-language workplace terminal for European SMEs. Talk to your tools — Digistore24, Chatwoot, your S3 bucket, your CalDAV calendar — in plain English or German.
Prompt version control for engineering teams. Track, branch, and review the prompts that power your LLM features the same way you track code.
Operations software for photo-booth rental businesses. Bookings, prints, gallery delivery, and revenue — all from one dashboard.
Operations and logbook software for flight clubs and airfields. Bookings, fuel, maintenance, and pilot records — kept current in one place.
Band site for Background Gamblers. Tour dates, press kit, and music — Swiss-hosted, no third-party trackers.
A third product is in early specification. Spec deep, ship narrow — we won't name it until it's worth naming.
AI-powered audiobook creation. From idea to published audiobook in 7 minutes.
Photo-booth rentals for events in Switzerland — online booking, packages, and gallery delivery.
Open-source enterprise data platform — dbt, Airflow, and Superset in one integrated suite.
Tickets in. Software out. Anvil orchestrates 58+ specialised AI agents that turn Jira, GitHub, and Trello tickets into implemented, tested, reviewed, and deployed code.
Marketplace for premium domain names. Buy instantly, make an offer, or lease to own — all in one place.
We take on a small number of senior engineering engagements per year — typically AI & agent architecture, data platform, or production Laravel builds. That includes rescuing AI-generated codebases that have run off the rails.
We're selective on fit. Small teams, real problems, owners who will read what we write. We say no often. When we say yes, we ship.
Rates in CHF, work mostly remote with quarterly on-site visits in DACH. Engagements run 2 weeks to 6 months.
Halvic Labs is led by Nicolas Schmid — AI systems architect based between Bern and Basel. Background in cloud and data platform architecture, contributor to HelloDATA. Author of multiple audiobooks on AI engineering and creator of Anvil (anvil-coder.tech) — where tickets become shipped, tested, reviewed code.
