TL;DR
We build bespoke software and integrate automation/AI only when it measurably helps. AI is a co-pilot, not an autopilot: it supports people with suggestions, checks, and routine tasks, humans stay in control. The result: robust applications, leaner processes, and measurable outcomes.
The idea behind the name
“co” — collaboration, continuity & co-pilot
- Collaboration: Business and IT shape solutions together.
- Continuous: Iterative delivery from prototype to operations (CI/CD, MLOps/DevOps).
- Co-pilot: Tools sit at your side: they recommend, summarize, validate, and automate—while people decide.
“Petence” — competence that delivers
- Engineering competence: Architecture, clean code, security & privacy by design.
- Domain competence: Understanding processes, defining KPIs, proving impact.
co + Petence = coPetence: building competence together—with AI as a co-pilot where it fits.
Our two pillars—and how they fit together
1) Custom software & apps
- Web apps (React/Next, Node/.NET, microservices)
- Mobile apps (iOS/Android, offline, device integration)
- APIs & integrations (ERP/CRM, identity, payments)
- Platforms/SaaS (multi-tenant, billing, admin)
Principles: UX first, scalable architecture, security/privacy by design, and observability built in.
2) Automation & AI (when it’s the best lever)
- Workflow/RPA, chatbots/RAG, ML models
- Data engineering & MLOps (pipelines, monitoring, retraining)
- Guardrails & human-in-the-loop for quality and compliance
Key point: We use AI only where it beats classic logic on speed, quality, or cost. Sometimes the best solution is a clean rules-based app.
How we work
- Use case & value before tech: Define the business goal and KPIs (time, quality, cost).
- Rapid prototype: Weeks, not months—clickable flows or PoCs with real data.
- Reliable build: Test automation, security reviews, CI/CD, documentation.
- Operate & enable: Handover, playbooks, and training—your team can evolve it.
Example outcomes
- Customer portal (no AI): Multi-tenant web app, self-service workflows, SSO. → –35% support load, higher CSAT.
- Inspection mobile app (light co-pilot): Offline, photos + OCR, auto validation rules. → Same-day completion, fewer reworks.
- RPA + web UI for back office: Bot handles transfers; UI for exceptions. → –60% handling time, <1% error rate.
- Data-driven recommendations: Rules + ML ranking with A/B tests. → +12% conversion from returning users.
What to expect from coPetence
- Custom software & apps: web, mobile, APIs, SaaS, integrations
- Automation & AI: RPA, chatbots, ML—co-pilots for teams
- Data/MLOps & DevOps: pipelines, monitoring, CI/CD
- Consulting & enablement: architecture, audits, workshops, training
End-to-end from idea to operations—with clear KPIs.
Frequently asked Questions
Is AI mandatory in your projects?
No. We choose the best solution - often that’s pure software without AI.
What do you mean by “co-pilot”?
Tools assist (suggestions, checks, automation); humans stay responsible.
Do you deliver production-ready systems?
Yes! Tests, security, observability, CI/CD, and an operating model.
