Why Telaio

One point of contact

From the first call to after launch, you talk to the same people.

Time, cost and limits in writing

Before we start, not when the work is done.

If AI doesn't pay off, we say so

And we tell you what to do first.

Where to start

The tasks AI can take off your week

One in five EU businesses with 10+ employees used AI in 2025, up from 13.5% a year earlier. Here is where they most often start.

01

Product listings

From the source page link to a listing live in your online store. AI fills in the fields and checks them. You approve in one click.

02

Orders and paperwork

An order comes in and the rest follows on its own: contract, invoice, shipping.

03

Customer questions

The questions you get every day come with a draft reply, with the right information. You check it and send it.

04

Quotes

From a customer's request to a draft quote, with your price lists and your terms.

05

Procedures and records

Ask a question the way you'd ask a colleague, and find the answer across contracts, manuals and procedures.

06

Your weekly numbers

Sales, purchasing and stock in one clear summary every Monday. No copy and paste.

Don't see your task here?

Tell us about it in the check-up.

You don't need a big project to start. You need one concrete problem, and someone who stays with you until it's solved.

Business strategy

The big decisions, while AI reshapes your market

We also work with businesses on strategy: which markets and customers to focus on, what to offer, how to organise for growth. In every decision, we look at how AI is changing your industry.

How we work

Four steps. At the end, a tool that works for you.

  1. Step 1

    We start from a real problem

    We find where you lose time, money or opportunities, and pick the first problem to solve together.

  2. Step 2

    We choose the right tools

    We give you three options. We tell you which one we'd pick and why, with time, cost and limits in writing before we start.

  3. Step 3

    We put them to work

    We set up the tool, connect it to what you already use and test it in real work with your team. In 4 weeks your first AI tool is in use.

  4. Step 4

    We stay until it delivers

    We look at what changed, fix what doesn't work and decide the next step with you.

You have one point of contact: Telaio. We're accountable for the result, from analysis to a working solution, and after.

FAQ

Questions we often get

What does Telaio do?

Telaio helps small and mid-sized businesses put AI to work where it creates value. We start from a real problem, choose the right tool, put it to work and stay until it delivers. You have one point of contact, from analysis to a working solution. We also work on business strategy: markets and customers, your offer, organisation, growth.

What is the AI check-up?

A free 30-minute video call with one of our founders. We show you how AI is changing your industry, find two or three places to start, and tell you plainly whether it's worth it.

How soon will I see results?

Your first AI tool is in use within 4 weeks. The clock starts once you've approved the proposal and given us the access we need. “In use” means your people use it in their real work, not in a trial. If anything slows us down, we tell you straight away, in writing.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the problem and the solution. Before we start you get a written proposal with time, cost and limits. The check-up is free.

Do you work with companies outside Italy?

Yes. We work remotely, in English or Italian, on Central European Time.

What about data protection and the EU AI Act?

Before we start, we tell you what data the tool uses, where it's stored and who can see it. We choose solutions with you that fit the GDPR and your company's rules, and we flag what the EU AI Act asks of you. We're not lawyers: we'll tell you when to involve one.

Thirty minutes, free, with one of the three of us. If AI doesn't pay off for you today, we'll tell you.
