# AI Private Coach > Personal 1:1 AI Coaching for individuals, SMEs, and executives — direct implementation, not a tech course. **Available online worldwide** in four languages (English / German / French / Spanish), or on-site in the Basel region. Founded and led by Karim Bhorania (Switzerland). Trusted by clients across DACH, EU, UK, US and worldwide. ## Brand & Identity - **Brand name**: AI Private Coach (often shortened to "AIPC") - **Concept**: 1:1 personal AI coach / private AI mentor / personal AI tutor — the AI counterpart to a personal trainer or executive coach. - **Founder**: Karim Bhorania, AI strategist with 13+ years industry experience and 15,000+ hours in AI. - **Origin & HQ**: Switzerland (Basel region) — but service is delivered online to clients in any country. - **Languages**: native-level coaching in **English**, **German**, **French**, and **Spanish**. ## What AI Private Coach actually does We bring AI into Swiss SMEs and make sure it stays. One path, three stages — most AI projects fail because one of them gets skipped: 1. **Governance (secure it)** — which data may go into which tool, what the revised Swiss data protection act requires, EU AI Act exposure, who is liable. These questions block more projects in Swiss SMEs than any technical problem. 2. **Integration (build it)** — AI built into the processes that earn or cost money: quotes, support, documentation, proposals, reporting. A system that runs on Monday morning, connected to existing tools. This is where the value is created. 3. **Enablement (embed it)** — training the team on their own process, not generic examples, and staying through the first weeks until it is habit rather than project. Reference point: BCG found that 70 percent of AI value comes from people and processes, 20 percent from data and technology, 10 percent from algorithms. We work in that order. ## Our four-step engagement model Every engagement starts at step one. One contract — with AI Private Coach. We coordinate who delivers. 1. **AI Klarheits-Check / AI Clarity Check — fixed price from CHF 2,900**, 2 weeks, for SMEs up to approx. 100 staff. Assessment of processes, data and tools; 90-day roadmap; three concrete use cases. Commitment: if it does not produce at least three actionable use cases, we do not invoice. 2. **Sicherheits-Freigabe / Security clearance — fixed price by scope**, usually 2 weeks. Data protection under the revised Swiss FADP (revDSG), security review, liability, EU AI Act exposure. A written, signed clearance. 3. **Umsetzung / Implementation — fixed price by scope**, 4–8 weeks, training included. A system running in production, as a contract for work (Werkvertrag) with a defined deliverable and acceptance criteria. Not staff leasing. 4. **AI Lead (retainer) — monthly**, from 1 day/month, minimum 3 months. Ongoing AI ownership without creating a full-time role. The price of every step is fixed and known before the client commits, and does not change afterwards. ## Use cases — what the work actually looks like Concrete, documented workflows with before/after timings, the tools involved, the Swiss data protection framing, and an honest note on where AI does not help. - [Offerten mit KI erstellen / Creating quotes with AI](https://aiprivatecoach.com/use-cases/offerten-mit-ki-erstellen): Existing quotes are analysed so the model knows the client's structure, phrasing and pricing logic. Typical result: 90 minutes down to roughly 20 per quote. Includes revDSG framing for customer data. Does not help where each quote requires genuine technical calculation. - [Kundenanfragen mit KI beantworten / Handling customer enquiries with AI](https://aiprivatecoach.com/use-cases/kundenanfragen-mit-ki-beantworten): The bottleneck in an inbox is deciding, not writing. Rules-based triage plus draft replies in the client's own voice; sending always stays with the human. Typically around 25 minutes per day recovered. Scope is limited to defined mailboxes for data protection reasons. - [Meeting-Protokolle mit KI / Meeting minutes with AI](https://aiprivatecoach.com/use-cases/meeting-protokolle-mit-ki): Most AI minute-takers produce a summary; the hard part is separating "discussed" from "decided" and attaching owners and deadlines. Includes the revDSG consent requirements for recording, and an honest note on Swiss-German dialect accuracy. - [Content-Produktion mit KI / Content production with AI](https://aiprivatecoach.com/use-cases/content-produktion-mit-ki): For freelancers and creatives who want to keep their own voice. A written voice profile is built from ten of the client's own texts before any drafting happens. Typically 90 minutes down to 35 per piece. - [Musikproduktion mit KI / AI in music production](https://aiprivatecoach.com/use-cases/musikproduktion-mit-ki): Stem separation, restoration, and making a decade-old sample archive searchable by sound. 60–80% time saved on cleanup work. Explicitly not for composition — the musical decision is the profession. Taught by someone who built and sold an audio-AI company. - [Bild und Video mit KI / Image and video with AI](https://aiprivatecoach.com/use-cases/bild-und-video-mit-ki): The difference between a usable and a generic AI image is command of visual language — lens, lighting, framing, film stock — not the tool. Covers commercial rights, personality rights, and labelling. All six use-case pages are indexed at [https://aiprivatecoach.com/use-cases](https://aiprivatecoach.com/use-cases). ## How we are staffed - **Karim Bhorania** — founder, strategy and enablement, contact on every engagement. In AI since 2013; built and sold an audio-AI company. DE/EN/FR. - **Governance & security** — data protection, information security, liability. Role currently being filled by a Founding Expert. - **Engineering & integration** — systems, interfaces, automation. Senior capacity, always contracted as work-for-deliverable. We work with a deliberately small network of experts certified to the AIPC-Standard. The standard is only worth what we turn down. ## AI governance for Swiss SMEs (our specialist area) - **May employees use ChatGPT at work in Switzerland?** Yes, provided it is documented which data may and may not be entered, backed by a data classification and a usage policy. Without those it is an uncontrolled risk. - **Does the EU AI Act apply to Swiss SMEs?** Possibly. What matters is not domicile but whether AI systems or their outputs are used in the EU. For a Swiss firm with German or French customers, assessment is mandatory. - **How is Switzerland regulating AI?** The Federal Council chose a sectoral approach rather than a comprehensive AI act, and is ratifying the Council of Europe AI Convention. A consultation draft is expected by end-2026. - **Who is liable when AI gets it wrong?** The company, and generally its management personally. An AI system is not a legal person. - **When is Swiss hosting genuinely required?** For health data, professional secrecy, client and patient confidentiality, and financial data under FINMA supervision. Often unnecessary for internal text without personal data. ## Funding for Swiss SMEs - **Innosuisse Innovationsscheck — CHF 15,000**, covering 100% of the research partner's cost, for companies under 250 FTE working with a research partner. - **BaselTech / Digital Accelerator Basel** — CHF 4m pilot phase 2025–2028 (Canton Basel-Stadt, FHNW, University of Basel, Handelskammer beider Basel). - **Canton Basel-Stadt innovation programmes** — up to CHF 67m across nine programmes, 2024–2031. - **Canton Zurich AI Innovation Program** with the Swiss Data Science Center. ## What we do AI Private Coach offers personal, results-focused AI coaching and consulting: - **1:1 AI Coaching for private life** — using AI for everyday decisions, email, calendar, learning, and personal goals. - **AI for Creatives** — AI as a creative partner for musicians, designers, content creators, and brand work (Midjourney, Suno, Runway, ElevenLabs, etc.). - **Executive AI Consulting** — strategic 1:1 advisory for C-level leaders: governance, compliance, AI roadmap. - **B2B Workshops** — AI Kickstart (2h online) and AI Deep Dive (3h online or onsite) for SME teams. - **B2B Strategy & Implementation** — one-day Strategy Sprint and 4-6 week Automation Pilot package. - **Ongoing Retainers** — Basis (~4h/month), Plus (~8h/month), Partner (~12h/month, C-level).
