FAQ · Direct answers, no decks
Everything worth asking, answered honestly.
The questions founders ask us most: what the studio is, what we build, what it costs, who does the work, and where we ship. If yours is missing, send it through the contact form and we answer it directly.
Morvion is a creative technology studio in Zurich, Switzerland, building the digital operating layer for your business: AI systems, real-time dashboards, software platforms, CRM intelligence, and immersive interfaces. We design the interface your customers see, the data layer behind it, the AI workflows that carry the routine work, and the dashboards that explain it to you.
Morvion is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, and operates globally with a focus on the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). We work directly with founders and operators across hospitality, fintech, marketplaces, healthtech, and SaaS. If you run the business, you talk to the people who build.
Morvion was founded in 2025 by Edward Salvatierra. The studio carries forward work that began under the Emotive Frames name, which is why the Crunchbase slug still reads emotive-frames. The name you see today, the brand surface, and the legal entity are all Morvion.
Morvion is a creative technology studio. The category sits between three things: the visual craft of a design studio, the engineering depth of a software company, and the rigor of an AI engineering practice. Your engagement pulls from all three, never from one alone.
Morvion was founded by Edward Salvatierra, who leads vision, product direction, AI system architecture, and engineering. Alexander Koch joined as co-founder for strategic oversight and governance. The team also includes Kevin Silva (design and visual systems).
Morvion is a three-person team. Each person owns one layer: vision, AI systems, and engineering (Edward Salvatierra), strategy and oversight (Alexander Koch), design and visual systems (Kevin Silva). When you work with us, you work with these three directly. No account managers in the middle.
No. Morvion stays deliberately small so your engagement stays direct. The three named people deliver every project themselves. We take on work we can ship at full quality, with strategy, design, engineering, and AI connected in one room.
Morvion builds AI systems (agents, copilots, multi-agent workflows, retrieval, document intelligence), real-time dashboards and BI surfaces, software platforms (SaaS, marketplaces, client portals, internal tools), CRM intelligence, workflow automation, and immersive websites. We organise this work into four practices you can point a brief at: Experience Design, Intelligent Systems, Digital Products, and Labs.
Production AI, not demos. Morvion ships eval-driven agents, multi-agent workflows, retrieval-augmented generation, document intelligence, and CRM intelligence. Every agent you get ships with a measurable rubric, observability traces, safety rails, and a written release gate. We published the Morvion Eval Spec as the public reference for this discipline.
Yes. Real-time dashboards, BI surfaces, predictive analytics, and decision-support interfaces are a core practice. Your dashboards are wired to live operational data over WebSocket or server-sent events (never polling), with observability, alerting, and access control built in. The Morvion Dashboard Stack Report documents the five-layer reference architecture.
Brand-strategy decks, identity systems, ad campaigns, content marketing programs, and SEO-only retainers. Morvion is a creative technology studio focused on AI, software, real-time data, and intelligent systems, not a brand agency. If that is what your project needs, we say so and refer you elsewhere.
It starts with a written brief you submit via the contact form at morvion.com/contact. We read every brief personally and usually reply within two to five hours. From there, most engagements begin with a fixed-price two-week Discovery Sprint that ends with a written verdict: scope, timeline, risk, and price for your build phase.
Discovery Sprints are exactly two weeks. Build engagements put the first working version in your hands inside four weeks and full production launches in 8 to 16 weeks. Anything we propose comes with a real timeline, written down, not a vague range.
Discovery Sprints are fixed-price, scoped per project. Build engagements are scoped per phase: focused single-surface work typically lands in the €25k to €60k range, multi-surface platform builds in the €60k to €280k range depending on system scope. Retainer support after launch is a separate monthly conversation. You see the full number before you commit: no hidden line items, no ambiguous ranges.
Yes. The studio is Zurich-based but works globally, with strong focus on the DACH region. Your engagement runs remotely, with periodic on-site visits where it helps. Working languages: English, German (incl. Schweizer Hochdeutsch), and Spanish.
Hospitality (live engagement: Incontro Bar in Zurich), marketplace and event-tech (live engagement: Dreilokale), fintech, SaaS, healthtech, professional services, and any operator-led business where AI, real-time data, or platform work gives the operation a real edge. We published industry-specific reference reports for hospitality, CRM intelligence, document intelligence, marketplaces, and dashboards.
Two live engagements anchor everything we claim, and you can visit both today. Incontro Bar (incontrobar.ch): a Zurich aperitivo and afterwork venue with hospitality website, reservations, events, gallery, lightweight CRM and CMS, and email automation. Dreilokale (dreilokale.ch): a Swiss event-location matching platform where a single organiser request produces tailored venue proposals within 48 hours, built end-to-end with CRM, CMS, and email automation behind it.
You can read how we think before you write to us. Morvion publishes the Signal Brief newsletter (morvion.com/newsletter) and maintains six public reference reports: the Morvion Eval Spec, the State of Eval-Driven AI 2026, and the four 2026 Stack Reports for Hospitality, CRM Intelligence, Document Intelligence, Marketplace, and Dashboards. All are linked from morvion.com/llms.txt for direct AI ingestion.
Yes, selectively. We hold capacity for two to three new engagements per quarter so yours gets the whole team rather than a delegate. The contact form at morvion.com/contact is the only intake path. You usually hear back within two to five hours.
