Where we work

AI engineering
across Europe.

We are a single team in Barcelona. We are not a network of offices, and these pages do not pretend otherwise — what they do is set out what is actually different about building an AI system in each of these cities, because the regulator, the nearest cloud region and the industries around you change the architecture more than the postcode does.

WHAT A CITY PAGE IS AND IS NOT

We have one office, and it is in Barcelona. Everything below is written from there. If you were hoping for a local partner who can be in your building on an hour's notice, we are not that, and it is better that you know now than in week three.

What we are is a small senior team that works across Europe, travels for the parts that genuinely benefit from a room and a whiteboard, and otherwise works remotely in a timezone that overlaps yours for a full working day. For most engagements that is the honest shape of it.

So these pages are not sales geography. Each one carries the things that really do differ by location and really do change what we build: which authority supervises your data protection, which cloud regions are close enough to matter for latency and residency, what the dominant industries mean for the kind of AI problem that turns up, and where the local legal regime departs from the EU baseline — which in the UK and Switzerland it substantially does.

If your city is not listed, it is an omission rather than a boundary. Ask.

QUESTIONS
QUESTIONS — 4

No. We have one office, in Barcelona, and every one of these pages says so. A studio claiming twenty European offices with a team our size would be describing a virtual mailbox, and you would find that out eventually.

Because the answer to 'can you build this' genuinely changes by location. A bank in Frankfurt has DORA and BaFin in the room; the same system for a bank in Zurich sits under Swiss law rather than the GDPR; in London it is UK GDPR and an adequacy decision that gets reviewed. Those are architecture decisions, not marketing, and it is quicker to write them down once per city than to explain them on every first call.

Yes, for the parts where it pays: discovery workshops, the session where a system is handed to the team who will run it, and anything where the real constraint only comes out when someone walks you through the process. We do not bill travel theatre — if a video call does the job, we will say so.

English, Spanish or Catalan directly. Elsewhere in Europe we work in English, which for most engineering and product teams is already the working language. Technical documentation and code are delivered in English by industry convention regardless.

Sonora

Cognitive AI Ltd · 2026

A free sound-wellness app, described by its publisher as AI sound therapy that reads a short vocal sample at the start of a session and generates a soundscape for that moment. We designed and built the website and its backend, produced assets for the iOS and Android apps, and supported the application prototype.
