AI that moves boxes - projects for Blue Collar AI
In newsletter: Why AI increases sales in B2B, NIS2 checklist, and projects for production and distribution.
See February BriefMigrations, application upgrades, data & analytics (BigQuery + Looker), AI agents with Gemini, SRE/DevOps, and security - delivered by a team with 20+ years in software and official Google Cloud & HubSpot partnerships.
We unify operational data into a BigQuery hub, create reports in Looker Studio, and add AI agents with Vertex AI / Gemini for key processes (support, sales, document analysis).
The OPTI methodology involves an iterative process focused on rapid deliverables and client feedback.
Discovery: objectives, workloads, KPIs
Architecture & Planning: landing zone, security, cost
Migration/Build: CI/CD, infrastructure as code
Data & AI: BigQuery/Looker, Gemini agents PoC
Operations: SRE, security, continuous optimization

We analyze your data sources, existing infrastructure, and business objectives. We assess your analytics, AI, and modernization requirements to propose the most efficient architecture on Google Cloud.
We design a secure and scalable cloud architecture. We configure the 'landing zone' in Google Cloud, including networking (VPC), identity management (IAM), logging, and cost monitoring, following security best practices.
We execute the migration of applications and data (lift-and-shift or modernization). We build automated data pipelines (ETL/ELT) to ingest data into BigQuery from various sources like HubSpot, ERPs, or APIs.
We create interactive dashboards in Looker Studio to visualize the data from BigQuery. Upon request, we develop a PoC with Vertex AI / Gemini to demonstrate the value of AI on a specific business process (e.g., sales forecasting).
We implement SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) practices to ensure service reliability. We constantly monitor performance and costs (FinOps) and provide a backup and disaster recovery plan.
Cloud Run – for most cases: stateless HTTP/event-driven services, autoscaling, fast time-to-market, pay-per-use cost, minimal operation. Suitable for APIs, webhooks, scheduled jobs, microservices .
GKE (Kubernetes) – when you need fine control and complex/long-running workloads: GPU/TPU, intensive streaming (gRPC/WebSockets), etc. Offers maximum flexibility and requires DevOps governance.
Yes. We design the platform in EU regions (e.g. Belgium/Netherlands/Germany/Poland) or in EU multi-region, with these principles:
