FAQ — Chatbot Development Dortmund
(01)How much does a custom chatbot cost in Dortmund?
Fixed price after scoping. Proposal within 48 hours. Because we agree the scope upfront, you know the full cost before we begin — no hourly surprises. Larger projects with deep system integrations are quoted as a fixed package after the discovery phase.
(02)How long does it take to build and launch a chatbot?
Most chatbots go live in 4 to 8 weeks. A first working prototype is usually ready within two to three weeks, so you can test it with real questions early and give feedback before launch.
(03)What's the difference between a chatbot and an AI agent?
A chatbot mainly answers questions in a conversation. An AI agent goes a step further — it can take actions across your systems, such as updating a ticket, looking up an order, or scheduling an appointment. We build both, and many Dortmund clients start with a chatbot and grow it into an agent over time.
(04)Can the chatbot access our own data and systems?
Yes. We ground the chatbot in your documents, products, and policies, and connect it to systems like your CRM, ticketing, or order management so it can give accurate, real-time answers instead of generic responses.
(05)Is the chatbot GDPR-compliant?
Yes. We build with data protection in mind, offer EU hosting and on-premise deployment, and ensure customer data is handled according to GDPR — important for Dortmund's insurance and healthcare organizations.
(06)Can you work with companies in Dortmund remotely?
Yes. We work remotely with clients across Dortmund and the region, and come on-site for workshops and key milestones when that's helpful. Upon full payment you also receive exclusive usage rights to the code we deliver.
