strg+a

We enable business owners and expert teams to use AI effectively. Together we automate workflows in your existing business software or system landscape and extend it with functions that improve your service.

>_code your business

Your business software can do more than it shows you. If your system has an API, we extend it together with you: data entry by dictation, automated workflows, documents in the recipient's format, or whatever else you need to work more efficiently and deliver better results.

We enable you to use a coding agent such as Claude Code and set up the technical infrastructure and security standards together with you. Together we develop an optimisation concept and put you in a position to optimise and extend your systems on your own.

>_code your team

Several people, the same projects, one shared context. We set up your team so that concepts, analyses and automations are built with coding agents instead of in slides and tool collections: a context system based on repositories, a sandbox with rules, permissions and cost limits, and the enablement of everyone involved.

We create room by automating administrative work and enable your team to design and implement entirely new solutions. For expert teams that need more than standard AI platforms offer.

“My new system allows me to broker about twice as many properties.”

Project duration around six weeks. Voice agent for recording properties by dictation, connected directly to onOffice. Property valuation as an automated calculation that draws on several external data sources (API). Automations for property preparation and marketing strategy.

“Before, the question was: can it be done? Now it is: what do we need?”

Project duration around 12 weeks (including the system migration from Plancraft to Odoo). Voice agent for quotes and work reports by dictation, connected directly to Odoo. Custom solutions for proof of work, logs and price lists per client. Automations for correspondence and month-end closing. Lower costs, because technicians no longer need their own business software licence.

Frequently asked questions

What we do

What exactly does strg+a do?

We set up a working environment in which you extend your own IT with a coding agent such as Claude Code: automating workflows, connecting systems, producing documents and analyses. This includes the technical infrastructure, a context system, security rules and your enablement. The first solutions are built during the project, all further ones you build yourself.

What is a coding agent?

A coding agent is the combination of an AI model and a program that gives this model tools: reading and writing files, running commands, calling interfaces. The two are matched to each other. Such an agent writes software, and beyond that it uses existing programs, your computer and any kind of interface (API, CLI, MCP). You describe in plain language what you need; the agent implements it, tests it and connects it to your systems. We work with Claude Code; a tested, comparable open-source alternative is OpenCode.

I cannot program. Is this still for me?

Yes. The agent writes the code. Your job is to know what your business needs and to decide: what gets built, how it should behave, whether the result is right. What you need to bring is the willingness to engage with the technology. Our reference clients are an estate agent and a structural drying company.

How is this different from ChatGPT or Copilot?

Chat assistants answer questions and write texts; they work inside one application or are (web) applications themselves. A coding agent works across your entire system landscape: it creates records, generates documents, connects programs and builds functions that run permanently. For texts and research, your AI platform remains the right tool. We start where it stops.

Is this vibe coding?

No. Vibe coding means telling an agent roughly what you want and running the result unchecked. That is legitimate for a prototype, but not enough for day-to-day operation. With us, the agent works within a fixed framework of infrastructure, rules and context. Everything is versioned and documented, and you understand what has been built.

Do you build for me, or do I have to do everything myself?

We build with you. In addition to a coding setup and your general enablement, we work out optimisations and automations together. AI allows us to use digital technology in an entirely new way and at a new speed. Together we build a technical foundation and key functions; after that, you are able to develop and extend your digital infrastructure yourself.

What can actually be built with it?

In principle, almost anything. Common use cases are: voice agents for data entry by dictation directly into your business software, automated workflows for enquiries and correspondence, and documents in the format that clients, insurers or authorities require. Lead generation and sales funnels can also be implemented very well and connected to existing CRM and ERP solutions. In teams, data pipelines, analyses and reporting are added.

Requirements and process

What do I need to bring?

As an owner-managed business, a business software with an API, that is, an interface through which other programs can read and write data. Suitable examples are onOffice with the API module, Propstack, Lexware Office from XL upwards, Odoo, casavi, HubSpot and Pipedrive. Excel and desktop software without an API cannot carry the project; we support a change of system on request. Teams need Git hosting, a cloud project or a server under their own administration, and Claude accounts with team administration.

How does a project work?

In four steps. In the free initial call we clarify your requirements and your situation; afterwards you receive an offer with a project plan. Then we set up the infrastructure together and derive an implementation concept from your processes. In the build phase, the agreed functions are built together, with a growing share on your side. After the handover, we are available for questions for two months.

How long does it take?

That also depends on how much time you can free up for the joint work. A project duration of about four to six weeks is usual and manageable for most.

What does it cost?

We work for a fixed price; price indications can be found in the details that you can download on this page. In addition, there are running costs for the services used: the Claude subscription, a small cloud infrastructure and, depending on the provider, the API module of your business software. There are no licences from us and no maintenance contract as a condition.

What happens after the project?

The system belongs to you and runs in your accounts; we keep no access. Everything is documented in such a way that you and your Claude Code instance know all the details. You make extensions and corrections yourself.

Do you work on site or remotely?

Our projects work very well fully remotely. In-person meetings within Germany, Austria and Switzerland are possible by arrangement.

Security and risk

What happens to my data?

Business software, cloud project and repositories run in your accounts and in your name. What the agent works on is sent to Anthropic, the provider of Claude, for processing; in the business plans, this content is not used to train the models. In an open-source setup (OpenCode), you are free to choose the model provider. We advise on all elements of the system with regard to the GDPR and the EU AI Act. The responsibility for what you implement remains with you, however.

How are credentials and keys protected?

The agent needs access to your systems, and this access is the most sensitive part of the whole setup. Passwords and API keys are kept in a password vault and never in files, in the code or in the repository; programs fetch them from there only at runtime. We set up this secrets management together with you and establish the rules the agent follows.

What if the agent makes a mistake?

Your business software remains the core and handles business logic and bookkeeping as before. What you build is an extension next to it, with limited permissions. Every change is versioned and can be reverted, and during the project we review everything you build thoroughly and also establish test mechanisms.

Do I lose the support of my software provider?

No. The extension uses the official interface that the provider offers for this purpose. Nothing is changed in the software itself.

Do I become dependent on Claude?

Hardly. What is built consists of open standards: scripts, a database, repositories and a context system made of simple text files. All of this can be continued with another coding agent such as OpenCode.

For agencies and teams

We already have Copilot or ChatGPT in the company. Why this as well?

The platform covers the breadth: texts, summaries, search in documents. Our approach is aimed at the few teams whose tasks go beyond that, for example analyses across several data sources or concepts that need the state of three weeks and four heads. Both can exist side by side.

What is the role of our IT department?

It sets up permissions, cost limits and secrets management with us and keeps control of the environment. Within this framework, the team works independently.

Who is this not for?

For anyone looking for an AI that does everything without their own involvement. Our offer requires that you or your team want to take your own digital infrastructure into your own hands.
