Context Studios, an AI-native development studio in Berlin, takes on this role as a founder-led studio – with one fixed point of contact, a shared roadmap and solutions that grow with your business. A good partner increases the chances of success of AI projects because it brings proven methods, realistic roadmaps and iterative development. Context Studios supports you with transparent communication, clear milestones and measurable goals at every project step – and makes sure your team retains the knowledge. An AI development partner is an external service provider that supports companies with artificial intelligence over the long term. Unlike classic IT outsourcing, which only implements requirements, it contributes strategy, technical expertise and industry knowledge – from the feasibility check and the MVP to production use and ongoing optimisation. Entity: AI Development Partner Specialisation: Long-term AI partnerships, strategic AI consulting, end-to-end implementation Technologies: Python, TypeScript, Convex, Claude, GPT, Gemini, Hugging Face, AWS/GCP/Azure Target group: SMEs and enterprises with AI ambitions Partnership models: Strategic consulting, co-development, operations and further development Collaboration: Stages with their own result, regular roadmap reviews Compliance: GDPR, EU AI Act, industry-specific regulation ## Why Context Studios as a partner? Six reasons why we are the right long-term partner for your AI initiatives. ### Strategic AI roadmap Together we develop an AI strategy that connects business goals, market requirements and technical possibilities. Regular reviews keep the roadmap up to date and take up new opportunities. ### One fixed point of contact With founder Michael Kerkhoff you have one fixed point of contact who is responsible for architecture and implementation. This continuity secures domain knowledge, short paths and fast iterations throughout the collaboration. ### Measurable goals At the start we define key figures and track the benefit systematically. Whether time savings, quality or revenue – every AI initiative is measured against concrete target values and optimised further. ### Agile development Short iterations with regular demos, transparent progress reports and flexible prioritisation. This lets us adapt to changing requirements without losing sight of the overall plan. ### Compliance by design We take GDPR, the EU AI Act and industry-specific rules into account from the start, not as an afterthought. Architecture and documentation are designed so that future requirements can be incorporated easily. ### Knowledge transfer Comprehensive documentation, joint code reviews and training for your team. The goal is for your organisation to build AI expertise and be able to develop systems further independently. ## How do we shape the partnership? ### Consultation Free 30-minute initial call via video. We understand your goals, identify AI potential and give you a first assessment of feasibility and timeline. ### Proposal & planning You receive a written proposal for the first stage with scope, timeline and fixed price, plus a proposal for the further roadmap. ### AI-accelerated development Agile development with weekly demos. Goal: a working MVP in about 4 weeks, with production-ready code and automated tests. ### Launch & support Production deployment with complete documentation and 30 days of free bug fixing from final delivery. Operations and next stages follow by agreement. ## Frequently asked questions about AI partnerships Q: What distinguishes an AI development partner from a regular IT service provider? A: Besides technical implementation, a partner contributes strategic consulting, domain knowledge and continuous optimisation. Instead of working through individual tickets, it thinks about your AI initiatives as a whole: from strategy and piloting to scaled production use. It questions requirements, suggests alternatives and takes responsibility for the benefit, not just for the code. Q: How does an AI partnership get started? A: The start usually begins with a fixed-price workshop in which we analyse business goals, existing data and technical infrastructure. The result is a prioritised AI roadmap with concrete use cases, an estimate of the benefit and a realistic timeline for the first pilot. On this basis you decide where we start. Q: Is there a minimum term for a partnership? A: No, we do not have artificial minimum terms. We plan the collaboration in stages, each with its own result and acceptance. For a first use case from concept to production use, a few months are realistic. Whether and how things continue afterwards is your decision after each stage, based on the goals achieved. Q: How does Context Studios ensure efficient collaboration? A: We rely on short iterations with demos, transparent progress reports and regular strategy reviews. Your fixed point of contact is the founder himself, so decisions are made without detours. Shared channels such as Slack or Teams, clear responsibilities and documented decisions ensure that everyone involved is always on the same page. Q: What does an AI partnership with Context Studios cost? A: Costs depend on the scope and complexity of the planned AI initiatives. We calculate each stage separately so that you always keep budget and benefit in view: fixed price after scoping, proposal within 48 hours. Running costs for hosting and API usage are shown separately. A Strategy Day for €2,500 is a good way to get started. Q: Can we start the partnership with a small pilot project? A: Yes. A clearly defined pilot project, such as a proof of concept for a single use case, is a good way to start. It shows early on whether data, technology and collaboration hold up. Based on the results, you decide whether and how the collaboration continues – with no obligation to further stages. Q: How is knowledge transfer to our internal team secured? A: Knowledge transfer is an integral part of every partnership. We offer joint code reviews, technical workshops, detailed documentation and training for your team. The goal is to build up your AI expertise step by step so that you become more independent over time and can develop systems further yourself when needed. Q: How do you handle data protection and regulatory requirements? A: Compliance is built in from the start of the project. We work according to privacy by design, take into account the GDPR, the EU AI Act and industry-specific regulations and prefer hosting in the EU. Traceable documentation of the models, data flows and decisions used makes audits and coordination with your data protection officer easier. Q: What happens if we want to end the partnership? A: Every partnership includes a structured handover plan: complete code handover, documentation and training for your team. You receive the exclusive rights of use under clause 5 of our terms and conditions for all solutions developed. Your data, prompts and configurations live in your infrastructure, so there is no dependency on us as a provider. Q: Do you also work with international companies? A: Yes. We work with companies in the German-speaking region and beyond in Europe. We communicate in German and English and take into account the regulatory requirements of the respective market. Remote collaboration and regular digital workshops allow flexible models, complemented by on-site meetings where they make sense. ## Start your AI partnership with Context Studios Together we unlock the potential of artificial intelligence for your company.
