AI · Product Development · SME

Develop faster. With AI that takes work off your team's hands.

We go inside your engineering and show you exactly where AI actually makes a difference, even where knowledge lives only in the heads of two or three people. Requests sort themselves, reports write themselves almost automatically. GDPR-compliant, processed in the EU.

See how we work together

Free, 30 minutes, no sales pitch.

In the pilot, we measure the time saved on one process. We check the quality too.

The engineering day-to-day

Does any of this sound familiar ?

Collecting figures in Excel, updating status slides in PowerPoint, writing minutes after the meeting. The actual engineering work has to wait.

We look at these time-consuming tasks with your team and assess which preparation AI can take on. Figures, statements and decisions must remain verifiable.

QKT / Development
QKT triangle: quality, cost, timingQualityCostTiming
Three connected measures. One development process.

What matters to your development team

Faster development must pay off.

Time pressure, rework and tight budgets are connected. We assess an AI application against all three measures.

Reach decisions sooner.

Pre-sort requests, flag missing information and prepare decision documents so your team can respond earlier.

What we compare in the pilot

How long does it take from receipt to a reviewed result? Where do delays remain?

Walk through an unclear requirement

How we work together

From the first call to a result

At every stage, you know what happens, what you receive and what it costs. You decide whether to take the next step afterwards.

  1. Initial call

    30 min

    You tell me where the friction is. I tell you honestly whether AI helps, and if not, that too.

    Free

  2. AI Landscape Map

    1 day, report in 3 to 5 days

    One workshop day with your team. Result: 2 to 3 prioritized use cases with an ROI estimate, ready to present internally. "We should do something with AI" becomes a plan with a price tag.

    From €1,900

  3. Pilot

    4 weeks

    We automate one process and compare the time it takes before and after. We check quality together. Then you decide whether to expand.

    €4,900

  4. Implementation

    2 to 12 weeks

    From a single workflow to a multi-agent system built on your company knowledge. Final sign-off always stays with your engineer.

    From €5,000

    Plus €200 to €800/month

  5. Ongoing support

    Ongoing

    After go-live I remain your contact for questions, adjustments, and new ideas.

    Optional

A clear starting point

The first step: your AI Landscape Map

One workshop day with your team. We collect your engineering pain points, check your data and systems landscape, and prioritize the 2 to 3 use cases with the best ratio of effort to impact, each with an ROI estimate. You can present the result to your management. Fixed price, one day, no project commitment.

Before / after

Less preparation.
More development.

AI takes on searching, sorting and drafting. Your team reviews results and makes the decisions. Here is how a process could change.

Illustrative process

Why was this component changed?

TodayManual preparation
  1. 01

    Open folders

    Search drawings, emails and reports separately.

  2. 02

    Ask colleagues

    Who remembers the original decision?

  3. 03

    Reconstruct the answer

    Check versions and rationale yourself.

With AIAssisted, with review
  1. 01

    Connect sources

    Approved documents, respecting access permissions.

  2. 02

    Ask a specific question

    AI retrieves relevant passages with sources.

  3. 03

    Check the answer

    Your team checks evidence and currency.

From searching to a supported answer.

Without reliable evidence, the question stays open.

We measure time saved and check result quality in your pilot.

The smallest sensible start: a pilot

You already know exactly which process costs you time every week? Then you can skip the landscape map and start directly with a pilot. We take that one process and automate it. Fixed price, clear timeline, defined outcome. Then you decide whether more follows. And if the pilot shows that AI brings nothing for your case, you will know that too. Then this insight cost you exactly one pilot, not an annual budget.

  • ✓One process, chosen by you
  • ✓Fixed price 4,900 euros, 4-week timeline
  • ✓Your data stays in the EU, GDPR-compliant

By the way: the EU AI Act already applies

Since February 2025, Article 4 requires demonstrable AI literacy from employees who use AI. Since August 2026, penalties are enforceable. No reason to panic, but a good reason not to push training into next year.

About us

20 years of product development. No armchair consultant.

Two worlds in one person. No translation needed.

You know the problem with consultants: some understand AI but not your development processes. Others know your world but bring someone else in for AI. With me you get both in one person.

For 20 years I worked in product development myself and led teams. I know where time is really lost in an engineering department, because I sat in exactly those places myself: in project reviews, in change loops, searching for that one report from three years ago. And AI has been my passion for years, not just since the hype. That combination is AImation: I translate between your engineering world and the AI world. You do not need an interpreter in between.

Who I am in 4 sentences

I know your processes, not from books, but because I lived them myself for 20 years.

If AI does not make sense for you, I will tell you that. Even if it costs me the project.

Built for the Mittelstand: fixed prices, short timelines, running next week instead of next quarter.

Training, consulting, implementation from one hand. One contact, one call.
