AI consulting for SMBs in Basel
You know your team does things by hand that a machine could do. What you don't know is which ones to tackle first, and what it would cost. I help SMBs in the Basel region work that out and then build it: one process at a time, at a fixed price.
For SMBs that want more than experiments.
- SMBs of roughly 5 to 100 people in Basel and northwestern Switzerland. Remote across the DACH region.
- Companies that have tried ChatGPT or Copilot and noticed it hasn't turned into a system yet.
- Owners and managing directors who want a number before they decide.
Three steps, each with a price.

Implementation
per layer · fixed price
We build what the audit showed to be worth it. The system has four layers that build on each other: context, data, intelligence, automation. Each delivers results before the next one starts.
Pilot offer: the first two audits cost CHF 1,000 each. Terms
What you can rely on.
An honest verdict
Sometimes the answer is: keep doing it by hand. Then the report says so, with the numbers behind it.
Your numbers, not industry averages
Every time figure in the audit comes from a conversation with your team.
Data protection first
Where your data sits and who can see it is settled before the first automation, under Switzerland's data protection act (nDSG).
I use what I recommend
Nielsen AI runs on the same system I offer SMBs: figures that update themselves every morning, a daily briefing and automated routines.

Five questions that get your software vendors to say in writing where your data goes.
Go to the letterI'm Curt Nielsen, a molecular biologist. I've been building Nielsen AI in Basel since July 2026, alongside a full-time job in the pharmaceutical industry.
My full background is on LinkedIn.
What to know first.
Do you have references?
Not yet. Nielsen AI started in July 2026. What I can show you is the system I run my own business on, and a way of working where every recommendation rests on your own numbers. That's why there's a pilot offer: the first two audits cost CHF 1,000 each, and they're where the first references will come from.
How does this fit with your job?
I'm building Nielsen AI alongside a full-time job, so we set the interview dates together at the start, including early mornings or late afternoons.
Do you sell software?
I recommend what fits the systems you already have. If I ever recommend a product I earn from, I'll tell you.
Do you need to be on site?
In the Basel region, happily, for the interviews and the presentation. Everything else works remotely too.
Let's talk.
Sixty minutes, free. Afterwards you'll know whether an audit is worth it for you.
