Context Studios

What Context Studios does

Context Studios UG (haftungsbeschränkt) is a Berlin-Charlottenburg-based, founder-led AI-native development agency founded by Michael Kerkhoff in 2024/2025. The company designs and delivers custom AI software, autonomous agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, chatbots, computer vision applications, and enterprise web and mobile applications for startups, small and medium-sized businesses, and large enterprises across 11+ industries including healthcare, retail, professional services, and venture capital/private equity.

The technical stack is built around modern AI orchestration tooling — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, and open-source LLMs are integrated through LangGraph, LlamaIndex, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), with Langfuse used for LLM monitoring. Applications are delivered on a Next.js, TypeScript, React Native, Convex/Supabase foundation deployed on Vercel/AWS with Docker/Kubernetes and GitHub Actions CI/CD. The agency also integrates with mainstream enterprise systems (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, HubSpot) and automation platforms (Zapier, Make, n8n), and operates proprietary processes branded as the AI-Accelerated Development Methodology and Transparent Build Loop.

Revenue is generated primarily through fixed-price project engagements across three tiers — Starter (€2,000–€8,000), MVP Sprint/Fast Track (from €18,000, 4-week guaranteed delivery), and Enterprise (from €50,000, with annual frameworks of €150,000–€400,000) — supplemented by AI strategy workshops (from €1,500) and recurring maintenance subscriptions (from €1,500/month). The company is bootstrapped with no external institutional capital, operates with a core team of 1–10 augmented by contractors, and sells exclusively through direct sales anchored on a free 30-minute discovery call plus a self-service Solution Finder. Service delivery is offered in German, English, French, and Italian, and the company maintains GDPR, SOC 2-ready, ISO 27001 (via providers), and EU MDR compliance postures for relevant client segments.
