Behind the scenes.

How we work, what drives us and who is behind it. A team spread across countries and cultures that meets when it matters.

Mission

We bring AI to where it makes work noticeably easier. Dependable, pragmatic and with people who take responsibility.

Values

What drives us.

No warm words. Six principles you can hold us to during a project.

  • Dependable.

    A commitment is a commitment. We keep to deadlines, quality and agreements without anyone having to chase us.

  • Curious and open.

    We keep asking until we have understood. Criticism is a tool for us, whichever direction it comes from.

  • Order and responsibility.

    Clear roles, clear processes, clear decisions. Everyone answers for their own result, and we stand up for each other.

  • Pragmatic.

    A good solution today beats a perfect one in three weeks. Perfectionism slows you down, pragmatism delivers.

  • The courage to report mistakes.

    Like on an aircraft carrier: if someone finds a loose screw, the whole team stops and helps look until it is clear where it came from. Whoever raises a mistake prevents the next one. That is how we learn.

  • Discipline over talent.

    Talent helps. Discipline delivers. Together they produce results, wherever you are.

How we work

Solve it yourself first. Then sharpen it as a team.

  1. Solve it yourself

    Whoever sees a problem takes it on. With their own research, their own approach and a first working result.

  2. Sharpen it as a team

    The solution goes to the team. There it is reviewed, questioned and improved before it reaches the client.

  3. Decide tactically

    Clear roles, clear ownership. Whoever is responsible decides. Fast enough to move forward, careful enough not to do it twice.

AI and people

8020

We use AI everywhere it saves time. The last 20 per cent comes from people: judgement, context and responsibility.

Attitude

AI is like an instrument. Whoever practises, stays disciplined and masters their craft the way others read sheet music will end up playing the violin well too.

Everyone here works with AI.

A permanent core team, backed by a network of specialists, teachers and creatives we bring in depending on the project.

Working hybrid and internationally

We work remotely and meet when it counts.

We work mostly remotely, as an international team of women and men from different countries and cultures. We see each other regularly and come together in small sprint groups whenever a project calls for it.

  • Remote first
  • Sprint groups on site
  • German and English
  • Cooking together
  • Visiting events and trade fairs
  • Hosting our own events
  • Trips together
  • Celebrating Christmas
  • Celebrating Norooz
  • Many countries, one team
