Bluewaves

Bespoke AI you can actually use.

Your AI should work like breathing.

We build tools that disappear into your day.
No jargon. No eighteen-month pilots. No tools your team ignores. Just Gizmos that become colleagues.

That’s how many European companies actually use AI today.
Not “experimenting with.” Not “exploring.” Using.

What we build

We call them Gizmos.

Each Gizmo is a carefully crafted agent skill — a specialized intelligence designed for one specific thing your team does every day. A skill that reviews contracts in three languages. A plugin that turns your compliance workflow into a three-sentence conversation. A marketplace of capabilities curated for your company alone.

We don’t build platforms. We craft individual skills, bundle them into plugins, and assemble them into a private marketplace your team can browse and extend — every piece shaped to your processes, your terminology, your way of working.

A toolkit so fitted to your hands that your team will name it, thank it, refuse to give it up.

Clients write thank-you notes to their Gizmos. That’s the measure.

Crafted

Each agent skill is built from scratch for your specific task. Not configured. Not templated. Handmade by people who’ve spent twenty-five years making AI disappear into the workday.

Modular

Skills compose into plugins. Plugins assemble into your private marketplace. Your company gets a curated toolkit that grows with your needs — each piece individually crafted, all of them working together.

Immediate

No training manuals. No workshops nobody attends. Your team uses each Gizmo the way they use Google — because we designed it that way.

Multilingual

Every skill handles natural language, technical jargon, and your corporate dialect. It translates between departments, across borders, without losing nuance.

Transparent

Every answer shows its sources. Every recommendation explains its reasoning. EU AI Act compliance documentation is built in from day one. When auditors arrive, you’re already ready.

Yours

After your Wave, everything belongs to you. The skills, the plugins, the marketplace. No per-seat licenses. No subscription treadmill. Just tools that work.

They name their Gizmos.

“We stopped calling it ‘the AI tool.’ It’s Marta now. She handles our compliance reviews faster than our legal team believed possible. When IT suggested replacing her, the team revolted.” Head of Operations — European logistics company
“I was skeptical. Twenty years of failed IT projects will do that. But by week two, I was using it daily. By week four, I was asking Bertrand what else we could build.” CFO — Portuguese industrial group
“The difference is they actually listened. Not to what we said we wanted — to what we actually needed. The Gizmo does three things perfectly instead of thirty things badly.” Director of Innovation — Nordic retail chain
Fair warning

Not for everyone.

A 200-person consultancy can’t craft a single skill for your three-person compliance team. Their model doesn’t allow it — the engagement is too small, the attention too specific, the result too invisible to put in a case study. That’s not a criticism. It’s architecture.

We exist in the space they structurally can’t reach. If you have 50–500 people and processes that still live in documents, inboxes, and people’s heads — we should talk.

If you need a transformation programme with a steering committee, we’re not the right fit. We build tools, not slide decks.

How we work

Waves, not waterfalls.

Like the ocean, we work in cycles — building, testing, refining — until the tool feels inevitable.

Week 1
We listen.
Your documents. Your people. What “done” looks like for you — not for us.
Week 2
You see it working.
Not a mockup. Not a presentation. A tool you can test.
Week 3
It goes live.
Your team starts using it. We watch what happens.
Weeks 4–6
We refine.
Real use reveals what slides can’t. We adjust until it sticks.
Your first wave

No surprises.

Building custom AI typically costs €20,000 to €100,000. Most companies pay twice that and get prototypes. We believe every company deserves working AI. So we made it accessible.

Who we are

Craftsmen in the age of AI.

We live between Lisbon’s energy and Ericeira’s waves — proof that the future doesn’t need a corporate campus.

Bertrand
Creative Technologist

A serial entrepreneur with a PhD in AI and twenty-five years building systems across Europe. He creates code the way he surfs: reading patterns, finding flow, making the difficult look easy.

Érica
Organizational Psychologist

She knows why people resist tools — and how to design tools they’ll love. When Érica speaks, companies change direction. Not from persuasion. From understanding.

Bernardo
Cultural Translator

He ensures your Gizmo doesn’t just speak Spanish — it sounds Spanish. When a Nordic client’s team calls their Gizmo by a Finnish nickname, that’s his work showing.

Also available

Beyond the Wave.

Gizmo Virtual Trainer — An AI-native training centre run by our team and their Gizmos. Your people learn by doing — real exercises, real feedback, real skills. We prepare organisations for EU AI Act requirements while building the confidence to actually use what they learn.

Masterclasses — Focused sessions on generative AI, compliance, and putting it to work. For leaders who need the full picture before the first Wave.

These fund our mission to make working AI accessible to every company that needs it.

Builder notes

Complexity is laziness.

One client asked for help with their regulatory filing process. They expected a dashboard, a checklist, maybe some document templates. We built them a three-sentence conversation. Ask the Gizmo what you need to file. It asks two clarifying questions. It produces the complete filing package, correctly formatted, with every source linked.

No interface to learn. No manual to read. That’s the craft: making the complex invisible.

We’ve spent twenty-five years learning this. Building AI systems for millions of users teaches you that every extra feature is a failure of restraint. Every confusing interface is a failure of empathy. Every tool that requires training is a tool that wasn’t finished.

The discipline to keep removing until only the essential remains.

The next Wave starts in three weeks.

While big consultancies prepare their slides, you could already have working AI. Tell us what’s not working. We’ll tell you if we can help — and what it would cost.
