Innovation Lab
Client work
We help companies find what's next and test it before it costs real money: strategy, prototypes, shops and apps that ship.
Curiosity, with a method.
First find out what's worth it. Then build what works.
Wundrig is Vorarlberg dialect for curious.
We move between Zurich, Vorarlberg, Basel, Hong Kong and Cape Town and build strategy, prototypes, AI agents, apps and shops for and with our clients – from the first test to the running product.
Clients and partners
Portfolio
What we have built, run or advised on.

Apps & platforms
Apps, platforms and AI agents we built, or helped build, for clients.

We helped build a network of AI agents that delivers public web data: the gateway for the community nodes, the Teneo Browser, agents as skills for Claude Code and Cursor, and the move to its own database.

Innovation LabPrimeo Energie App
An app for the Swiss energy group's household customers: it shows their electricity use from the smart meter's 15-minute readings and where saving is worth it. Built by us.
-
Innovation Lab
AI agent for a quality seal
For a certification body: the agent searches Amazon, Otto and other marketplaces for products that could qualify for its seal, checks them against the criteria and finds the manufacturers behind them. Built by us.
Shops
Shops on Shopify. We built each one and keep it running.
-
Innovation LabKale & Me
Shopify shop for organic juice cleanses and shots. Built and maintained by us.

Self-service booking for digital out-of-home screens. Local businesses pick screens near them, upload an ad and are live the same week. Built and run by us.
-
Venture Labsearchcode.ai
A source-code search engine for the public web: what sites run, what they expose and what they charge, read from the pages themselves. Started in the Research Lab.
-
Venture LabsmAily
An AI app for meeting minutes, made in Switzerland: record the meeting and the finished minutes arrive by email. Developed together with Swiss lawyers. A Wundrig venture.
Three labs
One team, three ways of working: for clients, on our own products, and on our own questions.
Venture Lab
Our own products
We build and run products of our own, from first prototype to paying customers. Small, until they've earned the right to grow.
Research Lab
Our own questions
We dig into emerging technology — AI, data, whatever we're currently wundrig about — and keep what holds up under honest testing.
How we work
-
Understand
We look at what is already there – and where it is worth starting.
-
Test
We check ideas as early and as simply as possible.
-
Build
What holds up in the test, we build properly – as an app, a shop or an AI agent.
-
Improve
We go live, measure, and keep developing what works.
What the Research Lab is working on
No client, no brief. We pick a question, build enough to answer it honestly, and keep what holds up. Some of it becomes a venture. Most of it becomes knowledge we bring to client work.
-
Research Lab
Reading the public web at scale
What a site actually runs, offers and charges, read from the page itself rather than from what a vendor claims. Millions of sites, one pipeline. This one became searchcode.ai.
-
Research Lab
Exposed credentials
How many working API keys and passwords sit in public web pages, and how to tell their owners without sounding like a scam.
-
Research Lab
AI agents that do real work
Where a model can run a task end to end, where it needs a person, and how to tell the difference before it matters.
Who is behind it
-

Co-founder and strategy lead
Brand and strategy. She leads the workshops and the positioning work.
-
Frederic Nachbauer
Co-founder and managing director
Product and engineering, from architecture to the last deploy.
-
Julian Nachbauer
Lead solutions architect

Have something worth being curious about?
Before you spend six months building, we find out whether it's worth it. And if it is, we build it with you.
