Our story

Ruler GmbH was founded in Spiez, in the Canton of Bern, in 2020 by Yannick Monney. From day one the company has been Swiss-based and vendor-neutral — no ties to a cloud or model provider.

We build Tale for companies that want AI agents to work alongside their teams. Work needs owners, context, coordination, and a place to review the result. A shared project workspace brings those pieces together.

Your Infrastructure. Your Data. Your Rules.

Tale brings project boards, agent sandboxes, files, knowledge, and workflows into one product. Teams can assign tasks, follow agent progress, and review deliverables together, with a choice of runtimes, models, and deployment.

What we build

Tale is an open-source workspace for teams and AI agents: one place to plan projects, delegate tasks, and review results.

  • People and agents on the same project
    Assign work to teammates or project agents. Give agents instructions, tools, and a supported runtime, then follow their tasks and inspect what they produce.
  • Open source, no asterisks
    The entire codebase is public and open source on GitHub. The free Community edition ships identical features; Enterprise adds support and services at CHF 12 (EUR 14) per user/month.
  • Your infrastructure or ours
    Self-host on your own infrastructure or choose managed hosting in Switzerland or the EU. Choose local or cloud models and configure which external services the workspace can reach.
  • Beyond software
    We supply AI hardware to rent, lease, or buy for teams running models on their own infrastructure.

How we work with companies

Putting agents to work takes a clear process as well as software. We help teams prepare their sources, define useful tasks, and establish how people review the results.

  • Data worth pointing agents at
    We help structure sources, ownership, and provenance so people and agents can find and check the relevant evidence.
  • At home in regulated environments
    We help teams evaluate deployment, access, and review requirements. Ruler GmbH’s ISO 27001 certification covers Tale Enterprise and professional services; request the scope and evidence relevant to your organization.
  • An edge that stays yours
    Keep your team’s project context, workflows, and review history together as you add agents. The open-source codebase and a choice of runtimes and deployment let you adapt Tale to how your company works.
  • Solutions shaped to your goals
    No two organizations adopt AI the same way. We build the agents, automations, knowledge, and hardware around what you are trying to achieve — and leave out what you don't need.

What we stand for

  • 01

    Data stays yours

    Keep deployment and model choices in your hands. Use local inference when needed and review the data flows of any external services you connect.

  • 02

    Independent & vendor-neutral

    Swiss-based and vendor-neutral — no ties to a cloud or model provider, so your deployment answers only to you.

  • 03

    Transparent by default

    A public open-source codebase and a company you can look up in the Swiss commercial register. What we ship is what you can read.

  • 04

    Humans stay in charge

    People define the work, grant agent access, and configure review and approval policies. Teams can inspect deliverables and run history before deciding what comes next.
