We believe every innovative idea deserves solid, production-ready technical execution — and we're here to make it happen: fast, affordable, and without compromising on quality. ## Michael Kerkhoff Founder Founder and managing director of Context Studios UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Berlin Michael Kerkhoff has worked AI-natively since 2024 and founded Context Studios in 2025. Every project runs through him – from the first enquiry to handover. When a project needs more hands, freelancers join. ## Why Context Studios? The best of both worlds: Studio quality at startup speed vs. Freelancer vs. Agency ### Faster Development Goal: a first MVP in about four weeks instead of 4–6 months. AI-accelerated development without compromising quality. Structured process target: up to 5–10× faster ### Enterprise-Grade Quality Production-ready code with comprehensive testing, security best practices, and scalable architecture from day one. Higher standards Same quality ### Deep AI Expertise We've built AI agents, RAG systems, and LLM integrations. We know what works and what doesn't. Founder plus specialists as needed AI-native focus ### Cutting-Edge Tech Stack Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and modern AI tools—the same stack used by billion-dollar startups. Modern stack More affordable ## Our Technology Stack Enterprise-grade technologies for robust products Frontend Backend & Database AI & Machine Learning DevOps & Infrastructure ## Our Core Values 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. Languages Supported ## 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 2024 ### Learning 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 2025 ### The Breakthrough Shift from 'generating code' to 'planning properly'. Claude Desktop with MCP Servers revolutionizes the workflow. Productivity and code quality increase exponentially. Mar 2025 ### Context Studios Founded Official founding in Berlin. Mission: Democratize AI-native development for startups and SMEs. Enterprise quality without enterprise prices and timelines. Oct 2025 ### First 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 2025 ### First 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 2025 ### Local 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. 2026 ### Our 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. 2026 ### Visible 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. 2026 ### Four 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 2026 ### Agents 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. 2026+ ## Ready to Work Together?
