Implement AI. First results in days, not months.
Your path to AI. Clearly marked.
TRAIL1 helps mid-sized companies in the DACH region implement generative AI productively – GDPR-compliant, results-driven and vendor-independent.
The percentages are published industry benchmarks, not TRAIL1 project results. The timeframe and the privacy commitment describe how we work.
What we hear from business leaders.
Does any of this sound familiar? You're not alone – and there are solutions.
System landscape
Legacy IT, various tools, no centralized data. How is AI supposed to integrate?
Data Readiness CheckData privacy
Employees use ChatGPT on their own. What data flows where? And who's liable?
An AI usage policy: the minimumPilot → Production
You've experimented, but the step from demo to productive use is missing.
Why your Copilot trial disappointedUnclear ROI
AI sounds promising – but where is the concrete ROI for your company?
Ready-made tools or a custom project?Four stages, one goal: Results.
From first idea to productive AI solution – you decide after each step.
Pilot project
One specific bottleneck, one working solution. No concept paper.
AI strategy
Potential analysis, tech assessment, GDPR evaluation, prioritized roadmap.
Implementation
Workflow automation, RAG, AI agents – production-ready and integrated.
Governance
Policies, works council, EU AI Act, employee training.
AI for every department.
Concrete solutions for the most common bottlenecks in mid-sized companies.
Sales & CRM
Your sales team spends more time on data maintenance and proposal templates than on actual selling.
Customer communication & support
Customers complain about long response times. Simple queries tie up qualified staff.
Administration & operations
Manual processes in document management, reporting and internal coordination consume time.
Finance & accounting
Monthly closings take too long. Invoice auditing is manual. Irregularities are detected late.
Data privacy & compliance
Employees use AI tools on their own. You don't know what data flows where – yet you're still liable.
Where do you stand? Two ways to find out.
Both free, both five minutes, both with instant results. Pick the question that is on your mind right now.
How ready are we for AI?
AI Readiness Check
Seven dimensions from data maturity to governance: you see your maturity level and the three priority areas with the biggest lever.
Assess maturity →What should we actually build?
Data Readiness Check
For everyone whose bottleneck is the data: you get tools, an approach and a sequence – including what you don’t need.
Get your recommendation →Use AI. Protect data. Both.
GDPR compliance is not an obstacle – it's part of our solution.
Privacy by design
Data protection is built into the architecture from the start – not added afterwards.
Data sovereignty
Sensitive data never leaves your infrastructure. Local models or EU cloud.
Transparency
No black boxes. Every AI solution is documented, traceable and auditable.
Vendor-independent. Tailored.
We choose the technology that fits your use case, budget and data protection requirements.
Coding assistants
Claude Code, Codex CLI, Aider, OpenCode
Low-code

Agent frameworks

Regulation
