FAQ — AI Development Essen
(01)What does a custom AI development project cost?
We work on a fixed-price basis. Fixed price after scoping. Proposal within 48 hours. After the MVP proves its value, we scope any expansion as a separate, equally transparent fixed-price phase.
(02)How long until we have a working solution?
Most projects go live within four to eight weeks. We build a working prototype in the first weeks, then harden it into a production MVP — you see real results fast rather than waiting on a long roadmap.
(03)How is custom AI development different from buying a chatbot?
A chatbot is a single conversational interface. Custom AI development means software engineered around your specific processes — it reads your data, automates multi-step tasks, and integrates with your ERP, CRM, and document systems to produce outcomes, not just answers.
(04)Can the AI access our internal data and systems?
Yes. We integrate securely with your existing databases, document stores, and line-of-business tools so the solution operates on your real data — with strict access controls and clear data boundaries throughout.
(05)Is the solution GDPR-compliant?
Compliance is built in from the start. We deploy on EU-hosted or on-premise infrastructure, minimise data exposure, and document data flows so your solution meets GDPR requirements — important for Essen's energy, healthcare, and corporate clients.
(06)Do you work remotely or on-site in Essen?
Both. We deliver efficiently remotely and come on-site in Essen and across the Ruhr region for workshops, discovery, and key milestones whenever that adds value to the project.
