Productizing the
Forward Deployed Engineer

Forward-deployed engineers sit with you until AI is live. Timbal turned that job into a product your team can keep running.

Built for production, not for slides.

Timbal is an end-to-end platform to build, run, manage and use AI-native business applications. Observable, governable and reliable enough to run the business on. We move fast, hire for depth, and never treat quality as optional.

The era of standardized software is ending.

Building software gets easier, faster and cheaper every day, and it will keep going. Everything Timbal does follows from four convictions about what that means.

01

Customization at scale

Companies always wanted software shaped around how they actually work. It was just too expensive. AI removes that constraint, and standardized tools give way to AI-native applications built around each business.

02

Business logic was never the hard part

The complexity was customizing software around it. When that cost collapses, the company itself becomes the product: operations that compound and scale like software.

03

Defensibility lives in the harness

When anyone can generate code, software alone is no moat. What compounds is the harness around it: context, evaluations, governance and the metrics that keep AI reliable in production.

04

Every company gets an AI Department

Internal or external, a team will build, run and manage the AI that operates the business. Timbal is the tool that department runs on.

Sovereign by default.

Run Timbal as managed EU SaaS, in your own cloud, or fully on-premise. Choose where it runs, keep control of model keys, and give security teams the evidence they need.

Cloud, VPC, or on-prem

Run Timbal on AWS, Azure, GCP, inside your VPC, or fully on-premises. The same API and governance model follow every deployment.

EU data hosting

Choose EU region deployments for storage and processing. Keep data residency aligned with GDPR requirements and your contractual controls.

Governance and compliance

Security evidence, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logs, and compliance documentation are ready for review without slowing the rollout.

Model agnostic

Route each task to the model that fits it: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Llama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Change providers without redesigning the app.

AI you can safely deploy

Connect to existing systems

Timbal plugs into your telephony, CRM, ERP and core platforms, so agents take action in your systems of record and reach customers through the channels you already run.

Certifications and assurance

ISO 27001 certified, SOC 2 Type II in progress, GDPR and EU AI Act-aligned controls, plus the traces, evals and documentation your reviewers require.

Deployment and data residency

Run on our EU cloud, in a dedicated tenant, in your own cloud or on-premises, with EU data residency and your own model keys, so customer data stays within your jurisdiction and your infrastructure.

Deep partnership

Timbal’s forward-deployed engineers co-build your first use case, set up evals and quality gates, and work through the model-risk and architecture reviews required to go live in production.

Human in the loop

Complaints, vulnerability and financial decisions route to a person with a full context summary. Answers stay grounded in your knowledge base, guardrailed, and logged for audit.

Reliability at scale

Every run is traced end to end, with cost, latency and quality on one timeline. Regressions are caught by evals before they reach a customer, and capacity is sized to your peak.
