Alt F4: Software that outlasts the hype.
Many people know where AI could help their business. Few have someone who builds it and then runs it. We build AI systems, agents and the software they run on. Since 2010, from Munich.
Let's talk →Things we hear a lot
Mid-sized companies
“We know exactly where the hours go. We just don't have anyone to automate that work.”
An agent can check orders, maintain catalogues or prepare quotes once it is connected to your ERP and your approval workflows.
Founders
“The customers are already waiting. What I don't have is someone to build the first version.”
We build the first version, run it, and keep building when customers ask for more.
Domain experts
“I can see what AI could change in my field. I just don't know how to build it.”
You know better than any developer where a model would get it wrong. We develop the system. You decide what counts as correct.
All three start the same way: we listen and tell you whether AI solves the problem or a good database will do. Then we build it.
First
A conversation
About your problem, no slides.
Then
A prototype
Within a few days, something you can click through. After that both sides know what gets built.
After that
Running it
We keep it running and improve it.
Funding
Companies in Bavaria with fewer than 50 employees can get up to half of the cost as a grant through the Digitalbonus. Digitalbonus Bayern explained →

Let's talk.
Tell us where things get stuck. The boss still writes every reply here.
