What is it exactly?

An AI agency that ships and keeps operating it

An artificial intelligence agency designs, deploys and maintains AI agents, automations and virtual assistants inside a business. talqi is a founder-led studio: every deployment is built around your actual operation, not a closed catalog product. First we understand how you work; then we configure the agent, integrate it into your systems and keep operating it with you. You talk to the person building it across the full cycle. For Spanish SMEs that want big-company capability without the big-company cost structure.

Positioning

Big-company capabilities, at a price your SME can pay

Inditex, BBVA or MediaMarkt answer their customers in seconds. They personalise every interaction. Your business can have something very similar — not identical, let's be honest, but close enough to change your day-to-day.

What a big company would have

The same technology a corporation uses, configured for the size and reality of your business.

  • 24/7 customer service via WhatsApp, web or phone
  • Immediate response, in under 30 seconds
  • Automated bookings and cancellations
  • Per-customer personalisation
  • Clear monthly metrics

At a price your business can afford

A part-time receptionist costs €800–1,200/month. An AI project from a big consultancy starts at €15,000.

  • Monthly price per agent — you pay only for what you use
  • No invoice surprises
  • You know the cost from day one
  • If you add an agent, you add its cost — you don't renegotiate the rest

With continuous follow-up, not ticket-based support

No ticket system, no support queue. Monthly review on the calendar, usage metrics, direct contact.

  • You talk to the person who implements
  • Updates at no extra cost
  • Proactive alerts on patterns
  • No handoff to second-line support

Services

What we deliver as an artificial intelligence company

Four areas that cover 80% of the real needs of a Spanish SME today. Each one is a different entry point.

Deployment of custom AI agents

A system that listens, understands and resolves without human intervention. It's not a menu-based chatbot — it's natural conversation that ends with a booked appointment, a resolved question or a qualified lead.

We configure it with your real information in 10–15 days from kick-off.

Business process automation with AI

There are repetitive tasks eating up hours: follow-up emails, quotes, moving data between Excel and your CRM, confirming appointments one by one.

We automate them by connecting AI to the tools you already use: calendar, CRM and invoicing.

WhatsApp Business API integration

For an AI agent to work seriously, you need the WhatsApp Business API, not the free app.

We handle everything: Meta Business Manager onboarding, verification, approved templates, GDPR compliance. You provide the number.

AI solutions verticalised by sector

Every sector has a different pain. A hair salon loses appointments during a colour treatment; a real-estate agency loses leads over the weekend.

That's why we verticalise: we learn the specific pain before deploying.

Honest comparison

Why we're different from a traditional AI consultancy

The Spanish AI market splits into three types of provider. Each fits a different company size. We explain it without sugar-coating.

Trust

Why trust talqi if you're considering AI for the first time

Five concrete commitments. If any of them isn't met on our first call, say so and we'll rewrite the proposal.

You talk to the builder, not a salesperson

At talqi you don't go through sales layers, account managers or generic support.

Deployment is handled directly by the founding team, from defining the use case to putting the AI agent live.

You can see how it works before deciding

We don't sell an abstract presentation about artificial intelligence.

We show you how an AI agent works on real SME cases: bookings, frequent questions, appointment changes, recovering opportunities and handing over to a person when needed.

Price and scope are explained from the start

Before moving forward, you know what each agent includes, what it doesn't, which integrations are needed and what monthly cost would make sense for your business.

If it doesn't fit due to volume, sector or budget, we say so before starting.

The AI is never activated without clear limits

Each agent is configured with rules: what it can answer, what it must hand over, what data it can use and when it must not act.

This prevents the system from promising things your business can't deliver or replying out of context.

If we don't see clear value, we don't force the deployment

Not every business needs an AI agent.

If your message volume is low, if your process isn't organised yet, or if automation won't save time or capture opportunities, we'll tell you on the first call.

Real cases

AI agents deployed in real Spanish SMEs

We show verifiable cases, not invented stories. The figures are the ones the client authorises us to publish — if we don't have them confirmed in writing, we don't publish them.

Sectors

talqi adapts to your sector

Hair salons

Appointments, color trials, reminders. Your calendar sorted without picking up the phone.

Beauty & nails

Variable-length bookings, packs, and deposits — all confirmed by chat.

Restaurants

Reservations, changes, menus. Integrated with your table management system.

Real estate

Qualify leads, schedule viewings, share listings. No lost messages on weekends.

Who's behind it · Founder-led

Pablo Fernández Torres, artificial intelligence expert

Co-founder of talqi and the person you talk to from start to finish. He's studying the Master's in Artificial Intelligence while building the product. Previously, co-founder of Facturator Energía. He works from Sant Vicenç de Montalt, in the Maresme.

He's not a consultant who learned AI in a weekend course. He has spent months building, selling and maintaining AI agents in production for Spanish SMEs. He designs every deployment himself. Every client has his direct number.

It's our most honest competitive advantage — and the most temporary one. It works because we're small and founder-led. As we grow, we'll keep the principle: you talk to the builder, not a salesperson.

Compliance

Compliance by design

AI applied to business touches people's data. And people's data, in Spain, is regulated.

talqi runs on European infrastructure. Your customers' data never leaves servers in the European Union. We never use your customers' conversations to train models. The GDPR right to erasure is implemented by default — if a customer requests it, their data disappears in under 72 hours.

We comply with the transparency obligations of Article 50.1 of the EU AI Act: when an AI agent talks to one of your customers, the customer knows they're talking to an AI. In sectors with sensitive data, we work with a signed data processing agreement, documented activity records and full access traceability.

FAQ

Everything you need to know

An artificial intelligence agency is a company that designs, deploys and maintains applied AI solutions: conversational agents, process automation, virtual assistants and WhatsApp Business API integration. The difference with a consultancy is how far the engagement goes: a consultancy typically covers strategy and implementation; an agency stays operating the system with you after launch. At talqi a typical deployment ends with an AI agent live in 10–15 days from signing.

It depends on the model. Big AI consultancies start at €15,000–50,000 in setup plus separate maintenance. Custom development with a freelancer typically runs hourly (€50–120/h), without a fixed price up front. SME-focused AI agencies like talqi work with a monthly price per solution (AI for WhatsApp Business or Business chatbot), not closed bundles: you start with the one you need today and switch on the Blanca add-on whenever you want. All included — deployment, WhatsApp Business API onboarding and direct support from the founder. Projects outside the catalogue are quoted after a free call.

It's a difference of focus. An AI consultancy usually concentrates on defining what to build, in what order and against what risks — and many also implement. An AI agency specialises in building and operating specific products in production: configures models, sets up WhatsApp Business API, integrates with your CRM and leaves everything running. talqi operates as an agency: fixed catalogue, transparent pricing, agent live in 10–15 days, and ongoing operation after launch. If what you need first is a roadmap on where AI fits in your business, we'll say so and recommend a consultancy.

Five points work for evaluating any artificial intelligence company. One: do they have a product in production or just PowerPoints? Two: do you talk to the implementer or a salesperson? Three: is the pricing public or "it depends"? Four: do they have a real office in Spain to guarantee GDPR? Five: is the configuration exportable if you stop working with them? talqi meets all five, but the filter works for any provider.

The opposite of what most people think: applied AI brings more to a micro-business than to a corporation, because the corporation already has teams doing what an AI automates. The typical talqi client has between 1 and 15 employees. Micro-businesses and freelancers are our core, not the exception. The misunderstanding comes from big consultancies only working with corporations due to minimum project size.

A typical AI company in Spain works in four areas: deployment of conversational AI agents (WhatsApp, web, phone), automation of repetitive processes (emails, quotes, voucher management), WhatsApp Business API integration and sector-verticalised solutions. talqi covers all four, with real vertical depth in hair salons thanks to Blanca, our AI agent in production.

An AI agent holds a natural conversation, understands context and resolves without a closed decision tree. A traditional chatbot follows menus: if the question isn't in its tree, it replies "I don't understand". Blanca, talqi's AI agent, looks after a salon client, suggests a slot based on her history and confirms the appointment without human intervention. A traditional chatbot can't do that.

The first results show within weeks. At talqi a deployment ends with the AI agent live in 10–15 days from signing. Visible metrics at 2–4 weeks: after-hours appointments handled, recovered leads, hours your team no longer spends on the phone. Full ROI —when the monthly saving exceeds the fee— arrives between the first and second month in salons with stable volume; 3–4 months in long-cycle sectors.

The minimum legal standard in Spain is GDPR, LOPDGDD and the EU AI Act since 2024. talqi meets all three: data on European servers, conversations never used to train models, a data processing agreement signed before starting, right to erasure within 72 hours. We apply Article 50.1 of the EU AI Act — the customer knows they're talking to an AI. In sensitive sectors, we deliver documentation ready for AEPD inspection.

Pablo Fernández Torres, co-founder of talqi, is the person you talk to from start to finish. He's studying the Master's in Artificial Intelligence while building the product. He previously co-founded Facturator Energía. He works from Sant Vicenç de Montalt, Barcelona. He designs every deployment himself. Every client has his direct number. It's our most honest advantage and the most temporary: it works because we're small and founder-led.
