Processes are great when they help you, but they don’t have intrinsic value and can never be set in stone. Historically, as an organization that has always done its best to stay lean, we haven't been very interested in certificates and standardization. So why did we get ISO 9001 certified?

Since a year back Bontouch has experimented a lot internally, built several proof-of-concepts, and begun developing new AI-backed functionalities in the products we make together with our partners. These new large language models (LLM) open up a new world of possibilities, but amidst the AI buzz that has captivated many, some challenges often remain overshadowed. In this article, we will explore how these kinds of products are built up, and why building real products on top of LLMs that work out in the wild isn’t always that easy.
Recently we took part in Google Cloud Next in San Fransisco. This three-day event was packed with groundbreaking insights and visionary discussions. Let's dive into some of the highlights our colleagues Patrick Huynh and André Danielsson brought back to share with us.
The premier digital product agencies in the Nordics—Bontouch in Sweden and Shape in Denmark—are uniting on a mission to build the leading international digital product agency and top strategic partner for brands that want to have the best customer experience in their industry.

After this year's Google I/O, we wanted to conduct an experiment. What if a Generative AI model could do the job instead of our professional experts? We already know Generative AI can be used to create all sorts of content, but can ChatGPT replace our experts?
In recent years, we have at Bontouch started sharing more of our learnings externally – for example through this blog, and also by taking part in public events like meetups and conferences. Our employees Filip, Robert, Anders, and Carlo share their experiences and lessons learned from holding technical talks at major conferences for the first time.
AI and Machine Learning aren't new; they've evolved over decades. But every now and then, technology reaches a new breakthrough, which is what we've witnessed over the past few months. The new AI models released are really good, and will get better fast.
Design, as a profession, is constantly changing. We face new challenges and develop new methods, processes, and perspectives to tackle these challenges. New technologies emerge, which open new doors with new opportunities. The tools we rely on to do our job are also changing. This is how we adopted Figma as our tool of choice.
Together with our partners, the team at Bontouch had the opportunity to visit CES 2023 in Las Vegas earlier this January.

Starting out simple, but with big ambitions, BonWeekly was my way of sharing inspiration at Bontouch during the pandemic, when everyone worked from home. But what's the use if we only keep these tidbits, cool links and great reads to ourselves? We're sharing the very best of what's been posted through our BonWeeklys, and are passing it along to you.
