What is an AI development company?

AI service provider

An AI development company, often called an AI agency, is a specialised service provider that supports businesses in designing, building and operating solutions based on artificial intelligence. Unlike traditional digital agencies, it focuses on AI technologies such as language models, computer vision and autonomous agents. Context Studios was founded in Berlin-Charlottenburg in 2025 and works AI-natively itself.

Why Context Studios instead of a digital agency?

Six reasons that set us apart from traditional digital agencies

(01)

AI-native DNA

We use AI not as an add-on but as a core competence. Our internal processes – from development and project management to quality assurance – are supported by AI agents we built ourselves. That means we don't just understand AI in theory; we work with it every day.

(02)

Measurable business results

Every project starts with clearly defined KPIs and goals. Instead of technological gimmicks, we build solutions that pay directly into your business objectives – whether cost reduction, efficiency gains or new revenue streams.

(03)

Full-stack AI expertise

From strategy and prototyping to a production-ready system, we support you across the entire AI lifecycle. We combine experience in LLM engineering, agent architecture, RAG pipelines, computer vision and MLOps – all from a single source, without handover losses.

(04)

Rapid prototyping in about 2–4 weeks

With a proven methodology and reusable architecture building blocks, we typically deliver working AI prototypes in 2–4 weeks instead of months. This lets you validate your AI idea quickly and minimise investment risk.

(05)

GDPR & EU AI Act compliance

Every AI solution we build is designed to be GDPR-compliant from the start and prepared for the requirements of the EU AI Act. We implement privacy by design, transparent algorithms and traceable decision processes – essential for the regulated European market.

(06)

Vendor-independent architecture

We rely on modular architectures that are not tied to a single AI provider. Whether Claude, GPT, Gemini or open-source models such as Llama and Mistral: our systems can be switched flexibly, so you always use the most suitable and cost-efficient solution.

Frequently asked questions

(01)What is the difference between an AI development company and a traditional digital agency?
Context Studios is fully specialised in artificial intelligence. While digital agencies offer AI as one of many topics, AI is the core of every solution we build. We bring a deep understanding of language models, agent architectures and machine learning, and we also use AI in our own workflows.
(02)Which AI technologies does Context Studios work with?
We work with established AI models and frameworks: Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google) and open-source models such as Llama and Mistral. For orchestration we use Convex, LangGraph and the Model Context Protocol. The choice always depends on your use case and your requirements for data protection, performance and cost.
(03)How long does a typical AI project take?
Project duration depends on complexity: an MVP or proof of concept can typically be delivered in 2–6 weeks, while a complete AI solution with integration into existing systems typically needs 8–16 weeks. Thanks to rapid prototyping you see first results with your real data after just a few weeks.
(04)What does working with Context Studios cost?
Costs depend on scope, data situation and integration effort. Fixed price after scoping, proposal within 48 hours. To get started, we offer fixed-price workshops: Light Discovery (half a day) for €1,500, Strategy Day for €2,500 and Prototyping Sprint (2 days) for €4,500. This way you can start with a manageable budget.
(05)Are the AI solutions GDPR-compliant?
Yes. GDPR compliance is not an afterthought for us but a fixed part of every architecture. We implement privacy by design, use European hosting infrastructure and make sure AI models are used in line with data protection rules. We also prepare our solutions for the requirements of the EU AI Act.
(06)Can I run the AI solution myself after the project ends?
Yes, your independence is our goal. We hand over the source code with the rights of use under clause 5 of our terms, detailed documentation, and we train your team in using the solution. We offer maintenance and further development by agreement, so your AI solution stays up to date and performs well.
(07)How does Context Studios make sure the AI solution really works?
We start every project with a proof of concept in which we test the AI solution with your real data. This validates feasibility before larger investments are made. During development we rely on automated tests, regular evaluations of model performance and transparent KPIs that make project success measurable.
(08)Which industries does Context Studios serve?
We work across industries. Typical fields of application are e-commerce, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics and legal tech. In principle, every company with recurring, document-heavy or data-driven processes benefits from specialised AI support. In the first call we check where the greatest leverage lies in your industry.
(09)What is the difference between a specialised agency and an AI consultant?
An AI consultant analyses potential and creates strategies – a specialised agency implements them. Context Studios combines both: we advise you strategically and then build the solution completely. This avoids a gap between consulting and implementation, and the results end up in production rather than in a drawer.
(10)Can Context Studios also optimise or extend existing AI systems?
Yes. Existing AI solutions often do not deliver the expected quality or become too expensive. We analyse the current architecture, identify bottlenecks and optimise models, prompts, data pipelines and costs. We then extend the system with new functions or integrations as needed, without putting ongoing operations at risk.
(11)What is an AI development studio, and how is it different from a large agency?
A studio is a specialised software firm focused on AI that works in a boutique way: personal attention, careful engineering and direct communication. At Context Studios you work directly with the founder, Michael Kerkhoff, with no chain of project managers in between.
(12)Do you work across Germany or only in Berlin?
Across Germany and Europe. We work remotely by video call from Berlin-Charlottenburg and come on site for workshops and milestones on request.
(13)Which industries do you serve?
Among others FinTech, HealthTech, e-commerce, SaaS, logistics and manufacturing, from chatbots and AI agents to document processing and computer vision.
