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.

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.

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.

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.

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. You also keep 100% ownership of the code we deliver.

What is Chatbot Development?

Chatbot development is the design and engineering of a conversational assistant that understands natural-language questions and replies with accurate, context-aware answers. Built on leading language models (LLMs) and grounded in your own documents, products, and policies, a well-built chatbot handles routine inquiries automatically and escalates only the genuinely complex cases. For companies in Dortmund and the surrounding region, this means faster customer service and less repetitive workload across logistics, insurance, tech, and healthcare teams.

A chatbot that actually resolves requests

Not a scripted FAQ widget — an assistant that understands intent, uses your knowledge, and frees your team for the work that matters.

Natural conversations

Customers ask questions the way they speak, and the bot understands intent instead of forcing them through rigid menus — fewer abandoned chats, more resolved requests.

Grounded in your knowledge

The chatbot answers from your own documents, products, and policies, so replies stay accurate and on-brand rather than generic or made up.

Connected to your systems

We link the bot to your CRM, ticketing, and order systems so it can look up real order status, policy details, or appointments — not just static text.

Safe handovers

When a request is too sensitive or complex, the bot escalates cleanly to a human with full context, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Multilingual support

Serve customers in German, English, and more from a single assistant — useful for Dortmund's logistics and tech firms working across borders.

Insight from every chat

Built-in analytics show which questions come up most, where users get stuck, and where to improve — turning conversations into a continuous feedback loop.

Chatbot Development for Dortmund's key industries

Logistics

Dortmund is one of Europe's largest inland logistics hubs (Dortmunder Hafen, IKEA and Amazon distribution centers), where AI agents can coordinate shipment routing, warehouse slotting, and delivery scheduling across high daily parcel volumes. Beispiel: An agent reconciles incoming delivery notes against orders, flags discrepancies, and reschedules dock slots so that trucks waiting at the gate clear in minutes instead of hours.

Insurance

As headquarters of major insurers like Signal Iduna and Continentale, Dortmund processes huge volumes of policies and claims that AI agents can triage, pre-check for completeness, and route to the right desk. Beispiel: An agent reviews incoming claims, extracts the relevant figures and attachments, and shortens the initial pre-check from several days to a few minutes.

Technology & IT

The Technologiepark Dortmund and TU Dortmund spin-offs host hundreds of software, sensor, and microsystems firms, where AI agents can automate code documentation, support ticket handling, and customer onboarding for lean tech teams. Beispiel: An agent answers recurring support tickets, drafts release notes from the changelog, and escalates only the genuinely novel issues to a human engineer.

Healthcare

With large hospitals, the Klinikum Dortmund, and a growing biomedical cluster, AI agents can ease administrative load by handling appointment coordination, documentation, and billing pre-checks. Beispiel: An agent prepares patient intake summaries from referral letters and checks billing codes for completeness before submission, freeing staff from repetitive paperwork.
