2. How long does it take to ship an AI system?

A focused pilot is live in 2–4 weeks. A fully integrated system takes 6–12 weeks. A working first version is usable in weeks, not months.

3. What ROI should I expect from an AI project?

60–85% time savings within 3–6 months on administrative work. One reference project (Novetex) cut admin load by ~80%. Typical payback: 4–9 months.

4. Who is this service for?

SMEs of 5–250 employees with repetitive admin, customer-service or data-entry workloads. Typical industries: retail, accounting, insurance, logistics, professional services.

5. Is the solution GDPR compliant?

Yes. EU-hosted infrastructure, contractually no-training API endpoints. Customer data is never used for model training. On-premise or private cloud available.

6. Can it integrate with my existing ERP / CRM / accounting software?

Yes. Standard API integrations (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, SAP, Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.). For legacy systems without an API I use RPA (Playwright, Selenium).

7. What happens if the AI makes a mistake?

Every system includes human-in-the-loop checkpoints, audit logs and reversible actions. The AI proposes critical decisions; a human approves them.

8. Do you only use ChatGPT or other models too?

Model-agnostic. I work with OpenAI (GPT-4o, o1), Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini and open-source (Llama, Mistral) — always picking the best price/performance fit.

9. Can you train my team?

Yes. Developer AI training (e.g. CLB Insurance Brokers) and strategic workshops for decision-makers. Topics: prompt engineering, AI agent architecture, business use-case discovery. Day rate: ~€1,200.

10. Do you work outside Hungary?

Yes, with EU and global clients in Hungarian or English. ~90% remote, optionally combined with on-site workshops.
