# AI Cycle

> AI Cycle GmbH is a St. Gallen-based company that helps Swiss SMEs build lasting AI capability across leadership, people, data, context, processes, and concrete use cases.

AI Cycle is a continuous AI transformation programme, not a one-off workshop and not a software reseller. It is designed for Swiss SMEs with approximately 30 to 200 employees, direct executive sponsorship, and a commitment of at least twelve months.
