About THE SWARM

We don’t just build software.
We stand behind it.

A Vienna-based studio of engineers and designers who take AI-built software to production — and own the risk that comes with it. We are the team you call when the prototype works but nobody wants to put their name on the live version.

Uptime SLA

AI changed who can build software. Not who has to keep it running.

A founder can ship a working app in a weekend now. That is genuinely new, and genuinely powerful. But the gap between “it works in the demo” and “it survives real users, real traffic, and real regulators” has never been wider.

We have been shipping production software by hand for over twenty years — long before AI could write a line of it. That is precisely why we know where vibe-coded apps break: we have personally fixed every one of those failure modes the hard way.

That gap is where we live. We harden vibe-coded MVPs, deploy them on infrastructure we operate, and back them with a contractual SLA. We started THE SWARM because the market was full of people who would happily build you something — and almost nobody willing to be accountable for it once it was live.

We are deliberately small, senior, and European. No offshore handovers, no junior churn, no mystery about who is responsible when something breaks. You get the people who built it, on the hook for keeping it alive.

How we operate

Four commitments we don’t bend on.

01

We run the code

No hand-offs, no “here’s a zip file, good luck”. We build it, deploy it, and operate it on infrastructure we control. A single point of accountability, start to finish — us.

02

We hold the liability

AI-built software carries real risk. We take it on. Austrian legal framework, European GDPR standards, and a contractual SLA mean your exposure becomes our responsibility.

03

We don’t disappear

Going live is the start, not the finish. We monitor, patch, and answer the phone at 2am — for as long as the product runs. Most agencies vanish at handover; we stay on the hook.

04

We ship fast

Enterprise-grade doesn’t mean enterprise-slow. We get vibe-coded MVPs to production in weeks — without cutting the corners that get people breached or fined.

Get in touch

Let’s make it production-ready.

Whether you have an MVP that needs rescuing or an idea that needs building — we’d like to hear about it. Based in Vienna, working across Europe and the Middle East.
