Why HeyPapaya

Results, not prototypes.

Most AI projects end up in a notebook. We ship agents your teams use on Monday morning, and we stay accountable for the numbers.

Cut 40% of operating costs

Replace the slow, repetitive back-office tasks with agents that work in seconds, not hours.

Reclaim 40+ hours per week

Your front-line teams stop forwarding emails, copying data and chasing replies. Agents close the loop.

Reply in under 30 seconds, 24/7

Your customers get an instant, consistent answer in English, French or German, any hour, on every channel.

3× more qualified pipeline

Voice and chat agents qualify, book meetings and hand off to your sales team only when a human is actually needed.

99% routing accuracy

Structured prompts, automated evals, human review. Every agent ships with a measurable quality bar.

Data hosted in Switzerland

Hosting in Switzerland or the EU, personal data masking, clear retention rules. Designed for the FADP from day one.

Services

Four ways to put AI to work.

How we work

From audit to first agent in production in 4 weeks.

A short, low-risk engagement, designed for SMEs. No six-month slide deck, no research project.

  1. 01

    Free AI audit

    A workshop with your team. We map your workflows, identify the 3 highest-leverage agent opportunities, and put a number on each.

  2. 02

    Scoping & guarantee

    Fixed price, fixed schedule, target metric in writing. If we don't hit it, we keep going until we do.

  3. 03

    Build & integration

    We design the agent, wire it into your stack (CRM, calendar, helpdesk, telephony), and run evals on it before anyone sees it.

  4. 04

    Pilot with real users

    Quiet launch on a small slice of traffic, daily monitoring, weekly tuning. Your team learns the agent; the agent learns your team.

  5. 05

    Full rollout

    We open the gates, train your champions and ship a clean dashboard so you see exactly what the agent did this week.

  6. 06

    Operate & improve

    Monthly review, prompt and tool updates, new use cases. Agents that stay sharp instead of decaying in production.

Why us, honestly

HeyPapaya vs the usual options.

Most companies choose between a freelancer who disappears, an agency that over-bills, or a generic SaaS that doesn't fit. We want to be a fourth option.

Case studies

Real numbers, real teams.

A few workflows we turned into agents recently. Click an industry to see the matching case. Names anonymised on request.

AI voice · Healthcare

A clinic group stops missing calls — and books 38% more appointments.

Three sites, one shared front desk, ~20% of inbound calls dropped at peak hours. We deployed an AI voice receptionist that triages, books inside their software and sends an SMS confirmation to the patient.

  • 0missed calls
  • 0appointments booked
  • 0front-desk overtime / wk
In their words

Teams that stopped doing the grunt work.

“HeyPapaya turned a six-month roadmap into a three-week pilot. The voice agent was answering real patients before we'd finished recruiting our second receptionist.”
Dr M. R.Director, Clinic group · Vaud
“We were drowning in RFQs. Now our sales team reviews drafts instead of writing them. It's the first AI project that actually moved our P&L.”
S. B.CEO, Industrial SME · Fribourg
“They speak our three languages, understand Swiss compliance, and ship. That combination is rare.”
J. K.COO, B2B services · Zürich
“The chatbot deflects the 60% of boring tickets and routes the rest to the right person in seconds. My support team finally stopped quitting.”
A. L.Head of CX, SaaS · Geneva
“What I appreciated most: they turned down one of our use cases because the numbers didn't work. That's how I knew the ones they kept would.”
P. M.CFO, Logistics · Bern
“Their pilot was running with real customers in 18 days. We'd been quoted 4 months elsewhere for less.”
N. T.Founder, D2C brand · Lausanne

How the quote works: the audit takes about 60 minutes and ends with a fixed quote covering scope, schedule and target metric. Complex projects (regulated industries, custom telephony, deep ERP integrations) sit at the top of the range; simple ones at the bottom. Third-party usage (LLM, telephony, infrastructure) is billed at cost on your invoice. All prices are exclusive of VAT.

FAQ

The questions we get every week.

How long before something is actually in production?+

Most engagements ship a first working agent in 2 to 4 weeks. The audit happens in the first few days, the build runs in parallel with integrations, and the pilot starts on a small slice of real traffic before full rollout.

What's on top of your fees?+

You pay third-party usage at cost: LLM tokens, voice minutes, telephony, infrastructure. For a typical SME this lands between CHF 100 and CHF 800 per month per agent. We help you keep it predictable with caching, model routing and budgets.

Where is our data stored? Is this FADP / GDPR compliant?+

By default we use Swiss and EU regions for hosting, mask personal data before it leaves your environment, and sign a DPA with clear retention windows. You remain the controller; we act as processor.

Do you replace our developers or our agency?+

No. We work alongside them. We bring expertise in AI agents, evals and prompt engineering; your team keeps ownership of the product and the customer relationship. Most of our work plugs into systems your developers already maintain.

What if it doesn't work for our use case?+

The audit is free and ends with a yes/no recommendation. If we don't see at least 5× ROI on a use case, we'll say so, and we'll walk away from it. We'd rather lose a project than ship an agent that doesn't move a number.

Do you work in French and German?+

Yes — we operate in English, French and German, and ship agents that handle FR, DE, IT and EN natively. Our team is based in French-speaking Switzerland.
