Legacy to Innovation
Your grown industry solution is rethought stage by stage and rebuilt AI-supported: from WinForms, WPF, VB6 or Classic ASP to Blazor and ASP.NET Core.
To the legacy journey →Our process
AI Assisted Software Engineering: AI speed with engineering discipline.
We have developed our own process for the AI-supported new development of applications. It combines the speed of AI tools with what good software has always needed: architecture, reviews and quality assurance. Explicitly no “vibe coding”, no prompting away.
Why AI alone is not enough
Prompting away delivers demos. Not an industry solution.
AI tools today generate code in minutes that looks impressive at first glance. For a weekend prototype that is enough. For an application your customers use every day in a business-critical way, it is not. Because without guidance you get exactly the problems you know from your legacy application, only faster:
- Code is created without a sound architecture, and every extension becomes a risk
- Nobody checks whether the solution really does what your process needs
- Bugs only surface when customers find them, because tests are missing
- In the end nobody on the team understands what was actually built
That is why we treat AI as what it is: an extraordinarily fast tool that needs guidance. That guidance is our process.
How the process works
Four steps that turn AI speed into reliable software.
1 · Architecture first
Before the first line of code is written, the target architecture is in place: modules, interfaces, data model. The AI works within these guardrails, not into the blue.
2 · AI-supported implementation
Our developers implement the application AI-supported. The AI takes over large parts of the writing work, our developers set the context, the domain knowledge and the direction.
3 · Review by senior developers
No AI-generated code reaches your application unchecked. Senior developers review every result: readability, maintainability, fit with the architecture.
4 · Quality assurance & tests
Quality assurance is part of every step: tests safeguard the behavior, so the application still holds up in the next stage.
The result: the speed of AI, without its risks. We are precise about the wording here: we speak of the AI-supported new development of the application, not of individual screens, because it is about the whole: domain, processes, architecture.
Where we use this
Lived daily practice, not a lab experiment.
ODYSYS – industry solution for heavy-load rental
- At our customer Odysys we are rebuilding the application AI-supported in Blazor, stage by stage, following exactly this process.
- Architecture, reviews and quality assurance run there every day; the process was born in day-to-day project work and proves itself in day-to-day project work.
- A long-term partnership: from the first architecture sparring through to ongoing development.
Frequently asked questions
Answered clearly.
What sets your process apart from “vibe coding”?
Vibe coding means: prompt away, take the result and hope it holds. Our process puts the architecture at the start, every AI-supported implementation goes through a review by senior developers, and quality assurance with tests is part of every step. The AI delivers the speed, the process delivers the discipline.
Does the AI write the code at your place, or your developers?
Both. Under the guidance of our developers, the AI takes over large parts of the implementation. The responsibility, however, stays with people: architecture decisions are made by André Krämer or one of our senior architects, and every result goes through a review by senior developers before it reaches your application.
Do you already use the process in real projects?
Yes. At our customer Odysys, an industry solution for heavy-load rental, we are rebuilding the application AI-supported in Blazor, stage by stage. There the process is lived daily practice, not a lab experiment.
Does AI automatically make development cheaper?
AI mainly speeds up the implementation. Architecture, reviews and quality assurance still cost time, because it is exactly they that make the result sound. What your project specifically costs is therefore something we clarify through a roadmap and stages with a defined scope, not through a blanket promise.
