Question 1

What is Response-Ability?

Accepted Answer

The capacity to respond to what emerges. Our part: setting the boundaries, the taste and the care. The system’s part: logs, permissions, checks, human resume, and the ability to account for itself.

Question 2

Why not just use ChatGPT or Claude?

Accepted Answer

These tools are powerful but isolated. Context leaks between conversations, tools and decisions. Our approach builds a living system that preserves your organization’s memory, preferences and constraints.

Question 3

How long does a typical sprint take?

Accepted Answer

Agents & Tools Sprint (1 week, 279 CHF) for a first working system; Human Resilience Sprint (2-3 weeks, 879 CHF) to delegate what drains the humans; Agentic Reality Sprint (2-3 weeks, 1'790 CHF) for the full agentic suite with persistent memory.

Question 4

What is “living context”?

Accepted Answer

An operational thread linking decisions, vocabulary, constraints and project history — not a dead archive, not surveillance. It stays alive enough to evolve without dissolving every time a tool or agent changes.

Question 5

What is a DNA Dossier and an ExoBrain?

Accepted Answer

The DNA Dossier is the project’s structured memory (values, choices, hard limits, glossary). The ExoBrain makes it operable for agents: search, update, traceability. Together they prevent “generic” answers disconnected from your reality.

Question 6

What is intra-action, and why does it matter for agents?

Accepted Answer

After Karen Barad: entities (human, model, files, rules) co-emerge within the apparatus instead of “interacting” like two stable billiard balls. We design visible boundaries and agential cuts, not just prompts.

Question 7

How do you handle privacy and the Swiss nFADP?

Accepted Answer

Data minimization, explicit scopes, logs and human resume. Agents only reach the contexts they need; the cuts (folders, permissions, memory) are documented and revisable — pragmatic nFADP/GDPR alignment for your case.

Question 8

Who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Artisans, therapists, solopreneurs and one-person businesses: you often carry both the craft and the admin alone. When ChatGPT, email, Notion and a pile of tools eat your attention with no through-line, we design bounded agents that preserve your context — without turning you into an IT project manager.

Question 9

Where are you based, and in which languages do you work?

Accepted Answer

Agentic Realism is based in Lausanne (Switzerland). French by default, English on request. Contact: contact@agentic-realism.com — diagnostics and sprints for French-speaking Switzerland and beyond.

Question 10

What happens after a sprint?

Accepted Answer

You leave with documented deliverables, a context architecture and bounded agents — not a black box. Then optional monthly upkeep in 3 tiers: Essential (79.-/mo), Standard (279.-/mo), Premium (579.-/mo) for monitoring, interventions and evolution. A new sprint or full autonomy stay open.

Question 11

Is a “local-only” Swiss SME out of scope of the EU AI Act?

Accepted Answer

Not automatically: cloud CRMs, GPAI models and EU tools can create indirect obligations. In Switzerland, the federal sector-based approach complements the nFADP. We document uses, cuts and human resume — a pragmatic priority for Romandy leaders.

Question 12

Business AI agent vs chatbot: what’s the difference for my practice?

Accepted Answer

A chatbot answers one-shot; an agent chains tools, memory and checks across a process (triage, synthesis, quotes). Agentic Realism adds human guardrails on sensitive decisions — response-able, not a shared ChatGPT login with no thread.

Question 13

Do you deploy OpenClaw or Hermes Agent for my business?

Accepted Answer

Yes, depending on your case: OpenClaw (multi-channel gateway, ClawHub ecosystem) or Hermes Agent (Nous Research, skills, memory). We install on a VPS and configure the cuts, living context and human resume — for artisans, therapists and solopreneurs in French-speaking Switzerland, not a half-finished YouTube tutorial.

Question 14

I’m looking for an AI agent integrator in French-speaking Switzerland — who are you?

Accepted Answer

Agentic Realism, Response-able AI: a Lausanne agency specialized in AI agents, OpenClaw and Hermes Agent with living context (DNA Dossier, ExoBrain). Free diagnostic, flat-rate CHF sprints, monthly maintenance. Contact: contact@agentic-realism.com.

Question 15

Can I have an AI agent installed without being a developer?

Accepted Answer

That’s the whole point of the sprints: you don’t administer Docker or API keys alone. We deliver a documented, bounded, understandable system; you keep taste, care and direction. OpenClaw, Hermes Agent or a hybrid stack depending on your channels (Telegram, email, business tools).
