How we work

Together first. Then we build.

Every project starts from what your business actually needs.

  1. Workshop with a client team at a glass wall
    Client team working around a laptop
    Client team and studio at one table

    Kickoff with your team

    With you and your team, on site or remote, we agree who it is for and what it has to do.

  2. Trainees testing the tablet prototype
    Three people trying an app

    We build and test

    Then we take over: design, development with AI under senior oversight, and tests with real users before anything is final.

  3. Mindtrek in the App Store
    Filo on a Mac

    Launch and handover

    Your product launches under your name and on your accounts, with the code and everything you need to run it.

Who we are

PioneerSight is an independent zero-to-one product studio in Munich.

It was great working with you on this hackathon. I was impressed to see how much was achieved in only 48 hours. The positive feedback I received from participants and colleagues speaks for itself.

Questions

What do you build?

Apps, connected products, internal tools and AI agents, from the first idea to a product people use.

Who do you work with?

Small and mid-sized companies with a service, a process or an idea. Also experienced professionals who want to turn an idea into their own business, and teams that have developers or an agency but nobody who owns the product.

How fast?

A tested prototype in two weeks, a first version of a focused product in about six. The exact plan is agreed in the first call.

What does it cost?

You get a price range in the free 30-minute call, once we understand the scope, and a fixed price in writing before we start. AI and senior experience make it far more cost-efficient than classic product development: senior quality for much less.

Who checks what AI builds?

Our founder reviews and tests every release, and nothing goes live without your approval. Every product also gets automated security checks and proven protection for its setup, and products that handle sensitive data get a simulated attack, a penetration test, before launch.

Who owns AI-built code, and do we have to label it?

You get the code and the full rights to use it, like any other product we build. Labelling only matters where your product itself uses AI to talk to people, for example a chatbot, and we build the notice the EU AI Act requires right into it.

How much of our time does it take?

A kickoff with your team, then a short check-in, usually once a week. The rest is on us.

Does it work with the tools we already use?

Usually yes. We connect to your existing tools where they allow it, and we check this in the first call.

Who owns the product?

You do. It runs on your accounts, and you get the code and the documentation, so anyone can maintain it later.

And after launch?

We stay on for hosting, maintenance and the next features, if you want us to. If something breaks, we fix it, on terms agreed up front.

Have an idea you want to make real?

One call, 30 minutes, no commitment. You leave with a first assessment of your idea, the next steps and a price range.
