„We have three vendors, four contracts and no roadmap."
One retainer, every question
One invoice, one contract, one team. From strategic sparring through implementation support. €2,000 per month — no need for three different providers anymore.
A team on call for everything AI can move in your business. We find, build and run what saves you time and brings revenue — and check every result before it reaches you. One contract, one fixed price.
Six numbers from current studies. Each one is known. Together they make the case for a retainer instead of a third consultancy.
“Companies don’t fail at AI — they fail because their own knowledge is invisible, scattered and tied to individual heads.”
— Materna, 2025What you’re missing isn’t another AI tool. What’s missing is a team that makes sure AI delivers real impact in your business every day. One team, one retainer, every question.
What you get when you put us on a retainer — and what you don’t need anymore.
„We have three vendors, four contracts and no roadmap."
One invoice, one contract, one team. From strategic sparring through implementation support. €2,000 per month — no need for three different providers anymore.
„Before we build it, we want to know if it already exists."
90% of mid-market AI needs in 2026 can be solved with existing tools. We look at the market first, the keyboard second. We earn from the retainer, not from the build — no tool-selling temptation.
„Who’s liable when the AI talks nonsense?"
Every output that reaches you has been read by a human on our team. AI hallucinates. We know it. That’s why we sit in between — if something goes wrong, it goes wrong on our side.
„Our data can’t leave the plant — but we still want AI."
Some data belongs in the cloud. Some on your servers. Some on both. We decide with you, neutrally — local, EU-cloud (Hetzner, IONOS, Aleph Alpha) or hybrid. We don’t host ourselves, so no vendor lock-in.
Deeper view per discipline at /expertise.
From the first click to a finished recommendation, we work in days. We deliver a clear decision and put it into practice with you.
Diagnosis is the work. Delivery comes only once the engagement is properly defined.
You drop your question into the portal or — at first contact — through the trial form. Within one business day you get a reply, not from a bot but from your account lead.
The work starts here. We define the engagement — what is the problem, what constraints, what counts as success. Buy-vs-build, EU-AI-Act classification and GDPR implications are clarified before anyone builds.
Concrete tools with prices, trade-offs and a compliance check. You get a clear recommendation with price and compliance check — ready to implement.
Implementation support, human review on every output. Quarterly recheck. Larger initiatives are discussed in the running conversation, not pre-packaged into bundles.
Consultants start every engagement from zero. We don’t. What we learn about your company, plus what Autopilot Ventures feeds in daily — it all lands with you when it fits.
We don’t forget anything we’ve learned about your company.
A living company profile: strategy, departments, taboos, hosting constraints, past decisions — grows with every ticket. You see what we know. You can correct it.
Whatever Autopilot Ventures researches finds its way to you — when it’s relevant.
AV scans 165+ sources daily and produces podcast, newsletter and reports. As soon as something matches your Mandant-Memory, a targeted note reaches your account lead — not your inbox.
Examples and guarantees for each mechanic at /methode.
What it concretely delivers, we capture each quarter in three hard numbers — time saved, errors reduced or revenue effect. Details under "How we measure impact".
One monthly flat fee. One team. Every AI question. Cancel monthly. Larger projects emerge from the working relationship and are agreed individually as needed.
Your ongoing access to the team. Strategy, tool selection, small builds, human review. One contract covers everything — fixed point of contact, quarterly review, implementation support.

Optional building blocks, booked when you need them: Tech-DD — a pre-launch check of your AI stack (health, security, compliance) as a fixed-price module. Quick-Wins — curated immediate measures with a template, ready in week one. Custom-Build — larger multi-month delivery, scoped to you. Every block is named and priced on its own — you see what it delivers before you book it.
After hundreds of projects we recognise what’s coming next at your company. AI-first in our own toolbox — we use every day what we sell. You get a fixed account lead, a fixed implementer and specialists we bring in deliberately. Never an unknown face for you.
