Tübingen · Reutlingen · Rottenburg · Stuttgart
On your doorstep
The Handwerk runs this region. The paperwork shouldn't run you.
Neckar-Alb is built on its trades: electricians, landscapers, insulation and SHK crews, painters, and roofers keep the region working. The hard part isn't the craft, it's the quotes, the documentation, and the Förderung and GEG questions piling up after a long day. That's where a bit of AI, set up properly, gives you your evenings back.
We're local. Sessions happen at your Betrieb across the region, in German or English.
Reutlingen & Rottenburg
A strong trades, manufacturing, and family-business base, the Betriebe and Mittelstand at the heart of regional Handwerk.
Stuttgart
The wider Stuttgart region just north, a large market of Betriebe and customers, where we also work on-site.
Förderung
Förderung, where the paperwork bites hardest
Energy retrofits, heat pumps, and insulation come with BAFA and KfW Förderung and the GEG rules behind them. It's where customers have the most questions and where the documentation is heaviest. We help trades answer it in plain language and get the quote and the paperwork out without losing an evening to it.
Who we help
From the solo Meister to a full crew.
Get your evenings back.
When it's just you, the quotes and the paperwork happen after hours. A simple workflow drafts the Angebot and the Rechnung so the office work stops eating your evenings.
- Draft quotes and invoices in minutes
- Voice notes from the van turn into records
- Tools that keep customer data private
Lift the whole crew, not just the office.
Turn the one person who's good with the computer into shared templates the whole Betrieb uses, so quotes and customer replies stay consistent whoever sends them.
- Shared quote and email templates
- Consistent wording across the crew
- Simple, written ground rules

- AI literacy for your team
- GDPR-conform data handling
- Workflows that scale across trades
Trades
Built around your trade.
We start with the work your Betrieb actually does. Here's how it lands for the trades we know best, each one set up so customer data stays where it belongs.
01
Elektriker
Photo of a fuse box or a room becomes a draft Angebot. Ask a DIN or VDE question and get a plain-language answer. Voice site-notes turn into tidy documentation, and you get clean smart-home explainers to hand customers.
Photos and customer data stay in EU-hosted, contract-bound tools.
02
Garten- & Landschaftsbau
A garden photo plus a few measurements becomes a planting and material plan with a quote. Seasonal reminders go out to customers, before-and-after posts write themselves, and maintenance routes get easier to schedule.
Customer photos and addresses stay on EU infrastructure.
03
Dämmung & Isolierung
A customer-facing energy-savings explainer, BAFA and KfW Förderung guidance in plain words, GEG (Gebäudeenergiegesetz) questions answered, and a draft quote straight from photos of the building.
Building photos stay confidential, processed on EU infrastructure.
04
SHK · Sanitär-Heizung-Klima
Heat-pump and Förderung explainers your customers actually understand, plus a photo-to-quote draft for a bathroom or a boiler room you can finish in minutes.
No sensitive data in consumer tools; a human signs off.
05
Maler & Lackierer
Area and material calculations from a few photos, and tidy colour and material quotes that go out the same day instead of next week.
Works from your photos; customer data stays with you.
06
Dachdecker
Roof assessment notes dictated from the scaffold turn into a record, and solar upsell explainers come ready to hand the customer.
Site photos and notes stay behind your access controls.
The everyday wins, across every trade.
Whatever the trade, the same handful of jobs come up. Each one can be done in a GDPR-conform way, with you signing off before anything reaches a customer.
Instant Angebote
Turn a short note, a voice memo, or a couple of site photos into a clean, on-brand quote ready for you to check and send.
Customer data stays in EU-hosted tools; you approve before it goes out.
Aufmaß & documentation
Talk your measurements and site notes into your phone and get back tidy, structured documentation instead of scribbles.
Records stay on your side, behind access controls.
Customer comms
Draft WhatsApp and email replies to enquiries, follow-ups, and scheduling, in your own tone, in German or English.
A person reviews anything before it reaches the customer.
Rechnung drafting
Turn a finished job into a clear invoice draft with the right line items, ready for your tax tool.
Numbers stay yours; you check every invoice before sending.
Regulation lookups
Ask DIN, VDE, GEG, or Förderung questions in plain language and get a straight answer with the gist, not legalese.
Plain-language guidance, not legal advice; check the source where it counts.
Reviews & local marketing
Reply to reviews, write Google and social posts, and keep your local presence active without it becoming a second job.
Works on public content; no customer data needed.
Tools we've already built for the trade
We don't just teach AI, we ship apps for Handwerk. Two you can download today:
Your data stays yours
Your data stays in your shop.
Plenty of Handwerker are right to be wary of where their customer data ends up. We set things up so it stays yours, GDPR-conform, and so you can answer that question honestly when a customer asks.
Your data stays yours
We choose tools that run on EU infrastructure, don't train on your data, and come with a proper data-processing agreement (AVV). Customer photos and addresses don't wander off.
AI literacy is now required
Since 2 February 2025, the EU AI Act requires businesses to ensure staff who work with AI have sufficient AI literacy. A workshop at your Betrieb is the straightforward way to meet it.
A human stays in the loop
AI drafts; you decide. Every quote, invoice, and customer message gets your eyes on it before it goes out. Nothing reaches a customer on autopilot.
Clear ground rules
Simple written guidelines for the crew on what to use, what to never paste in, and when to ask first. Plain enough to pin up in the office.
