Consulting.
We support you with market analyses, workshops, concepts and customer-specific consulting to achieve real results with Artificial Intelligence.
Market Analysis
In-depth research on trends & challenges, related solutions and the current state of the art to get a comprehensive market overview. This allows us to identify potential disruption from new players and technologies as well as innovative growth potential for your company.
Conception
Potential analysis workshop: analyzing your company-specific value chain for potential AI use cases, including foundational AI knowledge and evaluation of all use cases based on technical feasibility and business impact. Conception workshop: derivation of product features, overview of data needs and a technical solution sketch including effort estimation.
Consulting
“From idea to production.” Consulting on all topics around disruptive innovation – from building company-wide AI capability and strategic positioning to market-near business modelling to unlock economic potential.
State-of-the-art AI solutions.
Our experienced, broadly skilled AI expert team enables rapid validation of the identified use case and the technical build-out into a market-ready product. By combining your company-specific data assets with Generative AI, LLMs, NLP or Computer Vision, we generate sustainable added value.
Proof of Concept
By creating a PoC, we test and demonstrate the technical feasibility of the previously defined core functionalities of the later product, usually without a user interface. An important signal for investors to boost confidence in the AI-based solution.
Minimum Viable Product
From the technical core created in the PoC, a first tool ready for live operation at pilot customers emerges, including a user interface and user management with a limited feature scope. The MVP collects valuable feedback from real users in real-world use.
Market-Ready Product
By incorporating user feedback and implementing additional features, the solution becomes ready for broad market launch. After go-to-market, performance and usage are continuously measured to achieve the best possible product-market fit.

Any questions?
How do we start?
You already have an idea or challenge you want to tackle with AI? In an initial meeting we get a feel for our partners and their day-to-day business. With this information we move into market research and scrutinize the idea. If it passes our scoring, we develop a concept for the Proof of Concept in a joint workshop and get started with development right away.
You don't have an AI idea yet?
You want to start your first project but don't have a concrete idea yet? No problem! In our workshop we introduce you to the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence and jointly identify the use cases with the highest potential for you.
Who covers the costs in venture building?
Within our corporate venture model we share, as entrepreneurial partners, costs and risks – from concept development to spinning off the startup.
Who owns the solution?
You don't want to spin off our joint solution as a startup but only use it inside your own company? Then you have the option to acquire the IP exclusively.
Can DDG help with commercialization?
