Short answers about AI Work Apps.
What is an AI Work App?+
An AI Work App turns one piece of hard work — invoices, receipts, the VAT return, year-end closing or your own process — into an app. You tell the AI what you need in a chat. The AI does the work inside the app, fixed tested code calculates the exact numbers, and a person confirms before anything is final.
How is it different from workflow automation or a general AI agent?+
Workflow tools are great at repeating the same steps — but when the input changes, someone has to fix the flow. General AI agents adapt to anything, and you decide what to block. A Work App sits in between: the AI handles the messy, changing input, but what it may do is set in the app from the start.
Why can I trust the numbers?+
The AI does not calculate the amounts — fixed, tested code does, and the AI only quotes them. Inside a Work App the AI uses only the tools the app allows. Everything the AI writes stays unconfirmed until a person approves it, closed periods are locked, and every step is logged.
Which Work Apps can I use today?+
AI Talk Cloud includes Work Apps for receipts and invoices (any country), and for the Swiss VAT return and year-end closing of Swiss GmbH and AG companies — the same Work Apps we use for our own companies. The AI prepares the numbers — you check them and submit them yourself. Try them free for 14 days.
Do I need technical or accounting skills?+
No technical skills. Your team uses a Work App like a chat, and if you are not sure how something works, you just ask the AI. The AI asks you only what it cannot know — for example, what a payment without a receipt was for.
Can I build a Work App for my own process?+
Yes. Install AI Talk Self-hosted on your own computer or company server, open it in a coding agent such as OpenAI Codex, Claude Code or Google Antigravity, and describe your process. Our step-by-step guide shows the agent how a Work App is made. Self-hosted is free for your own company. Built something others could use? Contact us to bring it to AI Talk Cloud.
Can I run AI Talk on my own server?+
Yes. AI Talk Self-hosted is free for your own company and runs on your own server — even without internet access. It is source-available on GitHub. AI Talk Business adds business features and a commercial license for firms that serve several client companies.
Which AI does it use, and does my data leave my server?+
AI Talk Cloud includes Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service — no API keys needed. With Self-hosted you choose: a cloud AI service (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude), an AI hosted in your own country, or a model on your own server. With a cloud AI service, the text the AI reads goes to that provider; with a model on your own server, nothing leaves your network.
Where is my data stored, and is it used to train AI?+
Your data is never used to train AI models. In AI Talk Cloud, your Work App data, conversations and accounts are stored in the Microsoft Azure region Zurich, Switzerland, and AI Talk is operated from Switzerland by M-BIZ Global AG. Some AI models are processed within the EU/EFTA or globally. With Self-hosted, everything stays on the server you choose.
How much does it cost?+
Standard is EUR or CHF 100 and Pro is EUR or CHF 200 per month, excluding VAT, with the AI included. Starter in the mobile app costs CHF 22 per month in Switzerland and EUR 20–25 elsewhere. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. Self-hosted is free for your own company; Business is licensed separately.
