Applied AI for companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
Give AI a number to own.
We build AI engines that take over one business metric, like lead response time, vendor spend or on-time delivery. They work inside your systems, your team stays in control, and the result is measured in euros.

Use cases
Which number is yours?
Most companies already pay for AI. Few can point to a number it moved. We start with the one that hurts most.
- The problem
- Inbound leads wait hours for a first reply. The hot ones go cold.
- What the engine does
- Qualifies, routes and follows up on every inbound lead until it converts.
The number it owns
Lead response time
Every lead answered in under 5 minutes
- Reads every inbound request
- Qualifies and routes it in your CRM
- Replies and follows up until a meeting is booked

How it works
From one number to a live engine.
- 1
Pick one number.
Together we choose the metric, agree the baseline, and write down what the engine may never do.
- 2
Connect and rehearse.
The engine connects to your CRM, ERP, email and Teams, then replays past cases so you can check its judgement before anything goes live.
- 3
Go live, earn autonomy.
At first you approve every action. As it proves itself, routine work runs on its own and only sensitive decisions wait for you.
Autonomy is earned
Weeks 1–2 · You approve every action
From week 3 · Routine runs on its own, sensitive actions wait for you
Every action is logged. Illustrative timeline.
