Answers to the most important questions about our services, technologies and collaboration

General

What does elasticbrains do?

elasticbrains is a digital innovation agency based in Munich. We develop AI-powered software solutions, web applications, MVPs and digital strategies for medium-sized companies and corporations. Our focus is on the practical application of artificial intelligence in business processes.

What kind of companies does elasticbrains work with?

We work with companies of all sizes – from startups to mid-sized companies to large corporations. Our clients come from various industries and share the goal of strategically leveraging digital innovation and AI technology.

How does elasticbrains handle data protection and GDPR?

Data protection is our highest priority. All projects are implemented in compliance with GDPR. For AI applications, we pay special attention to data minimization, anonymization and secure data processing. On request, we exclusively use European or self-hosted AI models.

Collaboration

What does a typical project at elasticbrains look like?

We start with a free initial consultation, followed by an analysis phase. Then we develop iteratively in short sprints: concept, prototype, MVP, production system. Each sprint is coordinated with the client. Transparency and regular communication are important to us.

How much does a project at elasticbrains cost?

Costs depend on scope and complexity. For an initial estimate, use our project configurator or schedule a free consultation. We work with both fixed prices and on a time & material basis.

AI & Automation

What is Agentic Coding?

Agentic Coding is the professional approach to AI-assisted software development where AI agents serve as autonomous development partners that independently plan, implement, and test. Humans steer as architects and reviewers. At elasticbrains, we have been using this approach productively since 2023.

Which AI platforms and tools does elasticbrains use?

We work with leading AI platforms such as Claude (Anthropic), GPT-4 (OpenAI) and specialized open-source models. For development, we use Claude Code, Cursor and other Agentic Coding tools. With over 3 years of Agentic Coding experience, we have also built our own Agentic Engineering systems and specialized development servers that we deploy depending on project requirements. The selection depends on the specific use case.

What is n8n and how does elasticbrains use it?

n8n is a powerful open-source platform for workflow automation. As n8n experts, we integrate your existing systems, automate business processes and connect AI models with your data sources – without vendor lock-in.

Technology

What technologies does elasticbrains use?

Our core stack includes Vue 3, Node.js/Express, MongoDB, TypeScript and Python for AI applications. For automation, we rely on n8n. We adapt the specific technology selection to the project requirements.

How quickly can an MVP be developed?

We typically develop an MVP in 2-4 weeks. Through our Agentic Coding approach with AI-assisted development, we achieve significantly higher speeds than traditional development teams – with consistent or higher quality.

Workshops

How large should the group be for a workshop?

We recommend 3-8 participants per workshop. This ensures that each participant receives individual attention while also benefiting from group exchange.

Where do the workshops take place?

Our workshops take place on-site – in Munich or anywhere in Germany at your company. We are flexible and happy to rent a suitable workshop location in your area for maximum flexibility - sometimes it makes sense to step out of the everyday environment to be creative. Workshops can be individually tailored to your requirements and industry.
