Bucher & Ambühl is a Swiss KMU driven by curiosity. We build and self-host autonomous agents and systems. on infrastructure we control, without depending on big tech.
We know the theory. But we prefer to build. When we see a problem, we do not write a recommendation and hand it over. We build the solution and keep it running.
That means we are not a consulting firm, not a web agency, and not a software vendor. We are system builders. We look at what eats your time, and we make it stop.
Our infrastructure runs on VPS instances we manage ourselves. Docker containers, Traefik reverse proxy, Let's Encrypt certificates. We control the full stack, from DNS to database.
When you host your own systems, your data stays yours. In a world where dependence on big companies and privacy erosion are growing concerns, self-hosting is a deliberate choice. not a retro one.
Built in Switzerland, with the precision and long-term thinking that implies. We're not chasing trends. We're building systems that last and adapt over time.
B&A started with curiosity, the kind that makes you build something just to see if it works. The tools for self-hosted AI agents and automated systems were getting good enough to build real things, not demos.
The first version was messy. A trading script here, a webhook there, a spreadsheet pretending to be a database. But it worked. And every iteration made it better. The script became ZETA. Zero Effort Trading Agent. The spreadsheet became Teable. The webhooks became n8n workflows. The ad-hoc prompts became three autonomous agents with names, personalities, and persistent memory.
Today, B&A runs on self-hosted VPS infrastructure, operates four agents (with one in development), and maintains live dashboards, 24/7, without human intervention. What we build today may not be what we build tomorrow. That's the whole idea. The philosophy is simple: own the stack.
