01 How do AI agents differ from a regular workflow?
A classic workflow follows fixed if-then rules and stops as soon as a case does not fit the pattern. AI agents also read unstructured input such as emails or PDFs, pull missing details from your systems, and prepare the next step. With us, they work inside a governed workflow: with their own identity and the narrowest possible permissions, only through approved tools, with defined stop points and a traceable run history. Which steps a person approves is set before implementation.
02 What does a first workflow cost?
Implementation is delivered at a fixed price, which we name once the process, source systems, and access are clear. Hosting, AI usage, and maintenance and support are quoted separately. The intro call is free; a deeper process analysis before we quote is commissioned separately.
03 How long does it take to go live?
With a clearly bounded scope, available access, named owners, and completed testing and acceptance, a first workflow is live within days to weeks. If interfaces, test data, or approvals are missing, the start shifts accordingly — we name these dependencies before you commission anything.
04 Where does our data run, and which models are used?
The default is a separate instance per customer at Hetzner, in German data centres. If you want the workflow to run in your own environment, that is possible; we cost the additional effort against your requirements and show it separately. Which model handles which step, and the path your data takes, is set out in writing before implementation. We do not issue blanket compliance guarantees.
05 Who works on our project?
startvisor.AI is owner-run. Your contact for the quote, the implementation, and the acceptance is Gerald Fehringer; for bounded tasks we bring in named specialists. We do not present ourselves as a larger team than we are.
06 Do you also do AI projects that are not process automation?
Yes. A bounded workflow is the most common way in, but not the only one. We also connect AI capabilities where no single process is being automated: indexed company knowledge with source references, extraction and reconciliation across existing systems, or prepared decision material. Scope, acceptance criteria and the fixed price follow the same method.
07 Can you build us a SaaS solution of our own?
Yes. Where a standalone application does more than a workflow, we build it as custom SaaS on AIonicOS — internally for your teams or externally as a product for your customers, with AI Tactical Engineering, automated checks and technical acceptance before it goes live. Lead Pilot for B2B sales is an example from our own house. What makes sense in your case we settle before you place the order.
