When SWIRL approached Cheesecake Labs in 2024, they were already clearing one of the final hurdles to enterprise AI adoption: data silos. Many companies had no way to connect their internal data to advanced language models.
Information stored in Confluence, JIRA, Snowflake, Tableau, Salesforce, and SharePoint couldn’t flow securely into LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.
Like many fast-moving startups, SWIRL’s internal team had the expertise, but not the bandwidth, to match their tight timeline. And hiring more engineers would take months they simply didn’t have.
SWIRL saw staff augmentation as the fastest way to grow without the drag of long hiring cycles. Bringing in external developers would allow them to:
But more than just extra hands, SWIRL needed experts who knew how to design expandable systems that could protect sensitive data. That’s when they found us.
Cheesecake Labs stepped in to support SWIRL’s backend development and DevOps capabilities.
Our team brought Python, Django, and cloud pipeline expertise to help SWIRL deliver a faster and more flexible platform for AI-driven enterprise search.
We embedded directly into their workflows to shorten release cycles while upholding their technical and security requirements.
Together, SWIRL and Cheesecake Labs:
Built high-capacity integration pipelines using Python and Django
Optimized DevOps workflows and cloud infrastructure to speed up deployments and strengthen system resilience across private cloud, on-premise, and fully air-gapped environments
Connected SWIRL to 100+ enterprise platforms to expand reach and scalability
Removed the need for data migration to reduce costs and implementation time for enterprise clients
Developed a natural language search interface and enhanced metadata engines for intuitive, accurate, code-free AI-powered search
Enabled real-time data access without vector databases or heavy ETL pipelines
Embedded security measures, including role-based access, zero-trust architecture, and compliance with strict enterprise privacy standards
Deployed Chain-of-Thought AI to map relationships across enterprise data
The upgraded SWIRL platform now supports seamless enterprise AI connectivity:
Flexible pipelines built with Python and Django connected 100+ enterprise platforms (Snowflake, Tableau, Salesforce, and more), enable real-time data access without migration.
Cheesecake Labs gave SWIRL’s lean team the engineering firepower they needed to bring installations online in a fraction of the time enterprise rollouts usually require.
The result is a faster and more intuitive AI search experience for enterprise use — one that doesn’t force users to compromise between speed, accuracy, and security.
SWIRL’s clients reported major gains, including:
Up to 80% less time spent searching internal data
Faster decisions powered by real-time, context-rich result
Higher team productivity and lower operational friction
Tangible business impacts, like faster product launches, sharper marketing, and new revenue opportunities
Our collaboration continues — and with every release, SWIRL is pushing the boundaries of secure, enterprise-grade AI search.
