How long does an MVP Sprint take?

Most sprints go from kickoff to a live product in 4 to 8 weeks, depending on scope. We deliberately fix the scope at the start so the timeline and price stay predictable and the team stays focused on the one outcome that matters most.

What does an MVP Sprint cost in Essen?

We work on a fixed price agreed before the sprint starts — no hourly surprises. A focused MVP starts from €4,900 and scales with scope and integrations. You will know the full price before we write a single line of code.

How is this different from just building a chatbot or a quick prototype?

A chatbot is one feature; a clickable prototype is a demo with no real logic behind it. An MVP Sprint delivers an actual product — connected to your data, deployed to production, and ready for paying users. It becomes the first real version of your software, not a throwaway.

Do you need access to our internal systems and data?

Only where it adds value to the MVP. We integrate with your existing APIs, databases and tools so the product reflects reality, and we work with least-privilege access, clear scoping and signed agreements. Where leading language models (LLMs) are used, we choose configurations that keep your data protected.

Is the MVP GDPR-compliant, and can you work with teams in Essen remotely?

Yes. We build to GDPR standards with EU hosting and on-premise options where required. We work efficiently with clients across Essen and the wider Ruhrgebiet remotely, and we are happy to run the kickoff and key workshops on-site when that helps.

What is an MVP Sprint?

An MVP Sprint is a focused, fixed-scope engagement that takes a single product idea from concept to a working, production-ready Minimum Viable Product in a matter of weeks. Where it makes sense, we embed leading language models (LLMs) directly into the product — for drafting, classification or natural-language interfaces — so the MVP ships with real intelligence, not just a mockup. For companies and founders across Essen & Region, it is the fastest, lowest-risk way to put a real product in front of real users and learn what to build next.

Typical use cases in Essen: Energiewirtschaft, Unternehmenszentralen und Konzerndienste, Chemie und Werkstoffe, Universitätsmedizin und Gesundheit
Project duration: 4–8 weeks to go-live
Starting price: from €4,900 — focused fixed-price MVP
Models: Leading language models, selected per task
Data protection: GDPR-compliant, EU hosting & on-premise available

From idea to shipped product — without the agency overhead

A lean, fixed-price sprint that gets a real MVP into users' hands and gives you the evidence to invest with confidence.

Live in weeks

You go from a one-page idea to a working, deployed product your customers can actually use — fast enough to validate demand before a competitor does.

Production-grade, not a throwaway prototype

We build on modern, maintainable foundations so the MVP becomes the first version of your real product — no rewrite required when it gains traction.

Built-in AI where it adds value

We weave leading language models (LLMs) into the product for smart search, drafting or natural-language features — so your MVP feels modern from day one.

You own everything

100% code ownership, full documentation and clean handover. Continue with your own team or any partner — never locked in.

Real integrations, not fake data

We connect to your existing systems, APIs and data so the MVP reflects how your business actually works and produces results you can trust.

Decision-ready outcomes

Built-in analytics and user feedback loops give you the hard evidence to greenlight, pivot or scale — instead of guessing.

MVP Sprint for Essen's key industries

Energiewirtschaft

With two of Germany's largest energy groups headquartered here, AI agents help operators forecast grid load, automate regulatory reporting, and accelerate the paperwork-heavy energy transition. Beispiel: An agent monitors live grid and weather data, predicts demand peaks, and drafts the balancing-market bids hours before a human team could compile them.

Unternehmenszentralen und Konzerndienste

Essen has one of Germany's highest densities of large-corporate headquarters, where AI agents streamline back-office, procurement, and compliance workloads across many subsidiaries. Beispiel: An agent reviews incoming supplier contracts against internal policy, flags non-standard clauses, and routes only the exceptions to legal, cutting review time from days to minutes.

Chemie und Werkstoffe

As home to a major specialty-chemicals group, the city's materials firms use AI agents to mine research data, optimize batch processes, and speed up safety documentation. Beispiel: An agent scans lab results and production logs, surfaces the formulation tweaks that improve yield, and auto-generates the required safety data sheets for review.

Universitätsmedizin und Gesundheit

With a large university hospital and medical research campus, Essen's healthcare sector uses AI agents to triage documentation, manage appointments, and support clinical research. Beispiel: An agent transcribes and structures patient notes during consultations, pre-fills the discharge letter, and frees clinicians to spend more time with patients.
