Independent AI Consulting
for SMEs
We help you find out where AI genuinely makes sense in your company — and put the first use cases into production. Vendor-neutral, GDPR-compliant, from Frankfurt. AI potential assessment from €2.900.
We recommend the best solution — not our own
Sometimes that is our AI platform EuGPT. Sometimes it is ChatGPT Enterprise, Mistral La Plateforme, Microsoft Copilot or a self-hosted solution with Llama. We advise independently and decide together with you what fits your compliance requirements, your budget and your tech stack. Our recommendation follows your requirements, not our sales interest.
You know AI could help. But where do you start?
Most SMEs face the same dilemma: lots of tools, lots of promises, no clear plan for their own company.
Where do you even start?
100 use cases are conceivable — which one delivers the fastest ROI for you? Without analysis, it stays guesswork.
GDPR & data protection
ChatGPT banned? US cloud out? Which solutions are actually compliance-ready for your industry?
What budget is realistic?
€500 ChatGPT subscription or €50k custom build? Without use-case clarity, that cannot be answered.
Bringing the team along
Employees are unsure or sceptical. Without training and clear use cases, the tool fizzles out.
From intro call to a clear recommendation
Consulting produces the basis for decisions — not finished software. If implementation makes sense after the consulting, you move on to our AI development or another provider of your choice.
Intro call
free · 30 minWe clarify without obligation whether a consulting package makes sense for you — and which one. If not, we will tell you honestly.
Outcome: a recommendation on which package (or no package).
Book a consulting package
€1.800 – €7.500 fixed priceFour packages to choose from: AI potential assessment, GDPR audit, team workshop or 12-month roadmap. Fixed price, fixed date, fixed outcome.
Outcome: workshop + written deliverable. Completely vendor-neutral.
Written recommendation
Use-case reportYou get a 10–20-page report with prioritised use cases, tool recommendations, effort estimates and a roadmap. It is yours to keep and use however you like.
No lock-in: implement it with us, with another provider, or yourselves.
Optional: implementation or retainer
your choiceIf you like, we implement the prioritised use cases (see AI development from €4.900) or support you monthly (retainer from €990/month). ~40 % of our consulting clients choose one of these paths — but you do not have to.
Clear separation: consulting ends, development is a separate project.
Advisory with clear prices
Pure consulting — we deliver workshops, reports and roadmaps. No code. If you want to have software built afterwards: AI development or a provider of your choice.

Request roadmapBundle: consulting + implementation
AI Potential Assessment (€2.900) + custom GPT with RAG (from €4.900) together for €6.900 instead of €7.800 (around 12 % discount). Seamless transition from discovery to implementation.
B2B prices are net, plus 19 % VAT; consumers receive a final price including statutory VAT before the contract is concluded. No implementation included in the consulting packages — that runs separately via AI development. For self-service without consulting: EuGPT pay-as-you-go from €5.
What we typically uncover in the assessment
Anonymised examples from real discovery workshops — what usually turns out to be a quick win.
RAG assistant for service manuals
Service technicians needed 4 hrs of research per complex case. Custom GPT with access to 2.000 PDFs — response time now 5 min.
Recommendation from the assessment: EuGPT self-hosted (sensitive design data).
BMF circular analysis & client letters
Two custom GPTs: BMF circulars (German Ministry of Finance guidance) are summarised in 3 min instead of 45 min. Client letters from templates in 5 min instead of 30 min.
Recommendation from the assessment: EuGPT (client confidentiality, § 57 StBerG — German Tax Consultancy Act).
Doctor's letter structuring & coding assistance
Doctor's letter creation reduced from 25 min to 8 min. ICD-10 coding with a suggestion list — the GP now only validates.
Recommendation from the assessment: EuGPT self-hosted (§ 203 StGB — German confidentiality law, no external AI providers).
Sales email automation & lead triage
Inbound leads are automatically classified and prioritised. Personalised first responses via API in HubSpot.
Recommendation from the assessment: ChatGPT Enterprise — the client already uses it, no compliance showstopper, easier integration.
All examples anonymised. Actual use cases in the assessment are tailored to your company.
One assessment in detail — Healthcare MVZ
Here is what the outcome of an AI potential assessment looks like in practice — with findings, recommendation and figures.
AI Potential Assessment — Doctor's Letters & Coding
Management knew AI could help — but where to start? Doctors wrote discharge letters via dictation (25 min each), ICD-10 coding was error-prone, and US cloud tools were not approved because of § 203 StGB (German confidentiality law).
1-day on-site workshop: interviews with management, IT leadership, 2 doctors and medical assistants. Review of the doctor's-letter workflow and coding process. Use-case longlist (12 items), top 3 prioritised by impact × feasibility. Written report with vendor-neutral tool recommendations.
Clear roadmap: doctor's-letter structuring as a quick win (self-hosted EuGPT), ICD coding assistance as phase 2. Estimated savings potential: 3,5 hrs/doctor/week — with no compliance risk.
Anonymised example — real references available on request.
From Frankfurt — substance, not buzzwords
Behind the AI consulting is intercolo GmbH, a Frankfurt IT studio with many years of infrastructure and software experience. Among other things, we operate the AI platform EuGPT on our own GPU infrastructure in Frankfurt — but our consulting is independent of that.
In other words: we do not sell you a platform just because we operate one. We only recommend it when it is the best choice for your use case. Just as often, we recommend ChatGPT Enterprise, Mistral, Microsoft Copilot or self-hosted setups — depending on compliance requirements, existing systems and budget.
