We transformed ourselves first ## Before we sold AI, we ran our own company on it We automated hiring, accounting, finance, operations and development, one team at a time. The same work now runs with half the people, and those people do more interesting work. ~~60~~ → **30** people needed to run Softpers. Same output. **Hiring** AI screens CVs, books interviews and drafts offers. *AI live* **Accounting** Invoices, reminders and reconciliation run on their own. *AI live* **Finance** Reports and forecasts arrive automatically every week. *AI live* **Operations** Workflows move tasks along and flag what needs a person. *AI live* **Development** AI pair-programmers, tests and reviews speed up every build. *AI live* The AI we work with ## From open-source to frontier LLMs, we pick what fits No single model is best at everything. We match each task to the right model for quality, speed, cost and privacy, and switch when something better comes along. 01 **Models** Frontier LLMs and open-source models, picked per task for quality, speed and cost.

Start wherever you are, and we'll take you to the next step. Working with us ## What it's like to have Softpers as your AI partner 01 ### Early in the problem AI is part of the solution design from day one, not bolted on later. 02 ### Better decisions, not just automation We use AI where it makes work faster, clearer or smarter. 03 ### People stay in charge Clear owners and human review wherever AI informs a decision. 04 ### Fits real workflows Built around how your team already works, so people actually use it. 05 ### Safe and cost-aware Security, data boundaries and running costs planned from the start. 06 ### Measured by results Success means hours saved and revenue gained, not model scores. Responsible AI ## Powerful AI, with clear rules AI without guardrails adds risk. We decide upfront where AI is used, who owns each outcome and how it's checked, so you can trust what it does. - **Your data stays yours** Data stays in your own accounts and is never used to train AI models. - **Human in the loop** People review AI decisions that affect customers, money or staff. - **Tested before it ships** Every AI feature is evaluated for accuracy, safety and bias on real examples. - **Costs under control** Usage limits, monitoring and model choices that keep spend predictable.
