The principles that guide every project we build
Speed Without Sacrifice
Our goal is to deliver considerably faster than traditional agencies through AI-assisted development, but never at the cost of code quality or security.
Excellence as Standard
Every line of code we write meets enterprise standards. We don't believe in 'MVP quality'—we believe in production-ready from day one.
True Partnership
We're not just developers for hire. We become your technical partner, invested in your success and available for the long haul.
Innovation First
We stay on the cutting edge of AI and development technology so your product is always built with tomorrow's tools, not yesterday's.

Our Journey
From the first line of code to an AI-native studio
First Steps
The vision emerges: First intensive experiments with AI-assisted development. Building foundations in JavaScript, authentication flows, and early explorations of AI-powered code development.
Nov 2024Learning Through Failure
First major project with Next.js, NestJS & Convex. Valuable lessons about project structure, component organization, and backend architecture – failure was the best teacher.
Jan 2025The Breakthrough
Shift from 'generating code' to 'planning properly'. Claude Desktop with MCP Servers revolutionizes the workflow. Productivity and code quality increase exponentially.
Mar 2025Context Studios Founded
Official founding in Berlin. Mission: Democratize AI-native development for startups and SMEs. Enterprise quality without enterprise prices and timelines.
Oct 2025First AI Agent Goes Live
Our first production AI Agent goes live – built with Claude AI. The starting point for our focus on autonomous AI systems that don't just respond, but take action.
Nov 2025First Products Delivered
First production-ready MVPs and AI Agents with AI-accelerated development process. Clients go from idea to paying users faster than expected.
Late 2025Local AI inference
Open-weight models such as GLM and DeepSeek run on our own hardware. Confidential data stays in-house, and clients get a real alternative to the cloud.
2026Our own MCP server
Our Model Context Protocol server makes content, CRM and accounting usable for AI agents. A public endpoint gives language models verified facts about Context Studios.
2026Visible in AI answers
For Datura we are rebuilding the website so that Google and AI assistants find and cite its expert content – our first client case in AI visibility.
2026Four formats, fixed workshop prices
Every service comes as a workshop, setup, sprint or build & support. Workshops at fixed prices, everything else at a fixed price after scoping, with a proposal within 48 hours.
Sep 2026Agents in continuous operation
Next, agents take over entire workflows for good – on the new MCP standard, locally or in the cloud, depending on where your data is allowed to live.
