FAQ — AI Agent Development Dortmund
(01)What does AI agent development cost for a Dortmund business?
Fixed price after scoping. Proposal within 48 hours. You know the price before we start, and there are no surprise hourly bills — the scope and the deliverable are agreed up front.
(02)How long does it take to get a working agent live?
Most agents reach go-live within 4 to 8 weeks. You see an early working prototype on your own data within the first two to three weeks, so value is visible long before the final rollout.
(03)What is the difference between an AI agent and a chatbot?
A chatbot answers questions in a conversation. An agent takes action: it reads your data, decides the next step, and completes a multi-step task — for example reconciling delivery notes or pre-checking a claim — across your systems, not just in a chat window.
(04)Can an agent access our existing systems and data?
Yes. We connect agents to your ERP, CRM, ticketing, warehouse, or claims systems via APIs, webhooks, and the Model Context Protocol, so they work with live data and write results back automatically rather than relying on manual exports.
(05)Is AI agent development GDPR-compliant?
Yes. We build with GDPR in mind from day one — EU hosting, on-premise options for sensitive data, fine-grained permissions, full audit logging, and human approval for critical actions. You keep control over what the agent is allowed to do.
(06)Do you work on-site in Dortmund or remotely?
Both. We run kickoff workshops and key milestones on-site in Dortmund and the Ruhr region when that helps, and handle ongoing development efficiently remote. You also receive 100% of the code, so you are never locked in.
