Context Studios, an AI-native development studio in Berlin, connects AI to your IT via APIs, MCP and an adapter layer – securely, monitored and without interrupting operations. AI integration means embedding AI models into existing IT systems. Language models and ML services are connected to business applications via APIs, webhooks or the Model Context Protocol, so AI functions become available directly in familiar work environments – without changing systems and with controlled access to company data. Entity: AI Integration Specialisation: System integration, API connectivity, MCP, data synchronisation Technologies: Model Context Protocol, REST/GraphQL, webhooks, Kafka, ETL pipelines Target group: Companies with existing IT infrastructure and ERP/CRM systems Project duration: Goal: standard integrations in about 4–8 weeks Compliance: GDPR-compliant, existing security policies respected ## How do we integrate AI into existing systems? Embed AI into your existing system instead of rebuilding everything ### Model Context Protocol (MCP) We use the Model Context Protocol as a standardised integration path. MCP enables two-way communication: the AI can access your company data and carry out actions in your systems — securely, in a controlled way and traceably. ### Adapter layer architecture Instead of creating direct dependencies between AI and your systems, we build an adapter layer in between. It abstracts the complexity of both sides and lets you swap AI models or business systems without having to rebuild the integration. ### Real-time data synchronisation AI needs current data for current answers. We implement real-time synchronisation between your data sources and the AI layer: change data capture for databases, webhook-based events for SaaS tools and streaming pipelines for high-frequency updates. ### No interruption to operations Our integrations are introduced during live operation — without downtime, without data loss and without risk to your existing processes. With feature flags and a gradual rollout, you activate AI features in a controlled way and can return to the previous state at any time. ### Prebuilt connectors For common business applications we rely on reusable connectors: SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, HubSpot, DATEV, Lexware and more. These prebuilt components shorten development time and reduce project effort. ### Integration monitoring Every integration ships with comprehensive monitoring: data flow tracking, error alerts, performance metrics and audit logging. You can see in real time how data flows between your systems and the AI — and you are notified immediately when something is wrong. ## How does an integration project work? ### Consultation Free 30-minute initial call via video. We get to know your system landscape, identify suitable integration points and give you a first assessment of feasibility and timeline. ### Proposal & planning You receive a written proposal with scope, timeline and fixed price, plus an integration design covering all data flows and interfaces. ### 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, monitoring and 30 days of free bug fixing from final delivery. Maintenance and further development by agreement. ## Frequently asked questions about connecting AI Q: Can you integrate AI into our existing SAP system? A: Yes. We connect AI via RFC modules, OData services or the SAP Business Technology Platform. Typical use cases are automated ordering processes, intelligent supplier selection and AI-assisted inventory forecasts. The solution runs alongside your SAP operations in its own layer, so no changes to your customising are needed and updates to your SAP system remain unaffected. Q: Do we have to replace our existing systems? A: No, that is exactly the core idea. We add AI capabilities to your existing systems instead of replacing them. Your employees keep working in their familiar tools; the AI works in the background or appears there as an additional function. This saves migrations, retraining and licence changes and significantly lowers the risk of the entire project. Q: What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and why do you use it? A: The Model Context Protocol is an open standard from Anthropic for communication between AI models and external data sources or tools. It lets models access approved company data in a structured way and carry out defined actions. We use MCP because it simplifies permissions, logging and switching models, which keeps integrations maintainable in the long term. Q: How long does a typical integration take? A: The goal is a standard integration with one system, such as a CRM plus an AI assistant, in about 4–6 weeks. More complex projects with several systems and two-way data flows usually take 6–10 weeks. We aim for a working proof of concept after about two weeks, so you can check early with real data whether the approach holds up. Q: How do you prevent the integration from disrupting ongoing operations? A: Through strict separation: the AI runs in its own layer and talks to your systems only through defined APIs. Feature flags allow gradual activation, and rollback mechanisms restore the previous state at any time. Before go-live we test thoroughly in a staging environment with realistic data and agreed test cases. Q: Which data flows between our systems and the AI? A: You define this together with us in the integration design. Typical data flows are documents and texts for analysis, customer data for personalisation, transaction data for forecasts and system events for automated reactions. Every data flow is documented, implemented in a GDPR-compliant way and secured by access controls; sensitive fields can be masked before processing. Q: What happens if the AI API is temporarily unavailable? A: Our integrations include robust error handling: a circuit breaker prevents failures of an AI API from affecting your core systems. For critical workflows we use fallback logic, queues and retries, and on request a second model as a backup. This keeps your business processes running even during temporary outages. Q: Can you also integrate legacy systems without modern APIs? A: Yes. Even legacy systems that only communicate via file interfaces, SOAP services or database views can be connected. We build adapters that translate old protocols into modern API formats and keep data in sync in both directions. This way older applications also benefit from AI functions without you having to replace them first. Q: What does it cost to connect AI to existing systems? A: Costs depend on the number and type of systems, data quality and security requirements; ongoing API costs depend on the model and volume. Reusable connectors noticeably reduce the effort. We quote per project: fixed price after scoping, proposal within 48 hours. For an initial assessment, a fixed-price workshop is a good starting point. ## Integrate AI seamlessly into your systems No system change, no migration – we bring AI into your existing tools.
