Built in Switzerland. For the spend nobody explains.

Thinkery is an independent Swiss company. We build the system that connects AI context, cost, and outcome — and work alongside the people who carry responsibility for what AI sees, what it costs, and what it retains.

Why Thinkery exists.

AI spend grew 320% in two years. Per-token prices fell 280x, yet total bills keep rising. The industry is building standards — the Tokenomics Foundation was announced at FinOps X 2026. Thinkery is building the operational tool.

  1. 01

    Turn spend into knowledge

    Visible spend, provable outcomes, and knowledge that compounds inside the organisation. That is what operational AI economics looks like.

  2. 02

    Work with people, not around them

    The strongest work happens in partnership: close to the team, honest about trade-offs, and grounded in what is actually needed.

  3. 03

    Leave things better than we found them

    We care about the durable result — better decisions, stronger teams, and knowledge that remains useful after a project ends.

Proven early. Adopted globally.

Thinkery grew from LeanCTX: an open-source context engineering tool built in public, shaped by real use, and trusted by a global community before the company existed. Compression was the beginning — the full system is what we are building now.

How we show up.

Our values are practical commitments. They determine how we build, how we communicate, and what it feels like to work with us.

  1. 01

    Meet you as equals

    Expertise we bring — your day-to-day you know better. So we start by listening.

  2. 02

    Say what is true

    Uncertainty gets named early. A clear answer beats an impressive one.

  3. 03

    Care about the details

    Craft is not decoration. It is the discipline of making every interaction, system, and decision hold up over time.

People who care about the work.

Founder-led and deliberately close to the teams we work with. As Thinkery grows, this directory will introduce the people shaping the work alongside us.

Portrait of Yves Gugger

Yves Gugger

Founder & CEO

Yves built LeanCTX alongside his full-time work. It reached 195k+ installs before Thinkery had its first employee. He founded the company because AI budgets need a system that connects every franc to what it produced — not just dashboards and reports.
