Chat AI | Fair Start Model
With flexible entry over 3 months
Ask-Maria for conversation, appointment logic, and structured forwarding.
With the Chat AI - Starter Model Fair-Start, your company gets a professional introduction to the world of Ask-Maria – with a reduced minimum term of 3 months. Maria takes over initial conversations, accompanies inquiries in dialogue, provides orientation, and ensures that a contact leads to a clear next step.
This model is ideal for companies that not only want to make digital communication visible but also want to test and build Ask-Maria in real-world use over a clearly defined introductory period of 3 months. Maria answers inquiries, guides through defined conversation flows, can take appointment requests, and prepare calendar entries or appointment handovers.
The integrated Human-in-the-Loop escalation is particularly valuable. If an issue cannot be resolved directly in the chat or requires additional processing, the request is structured and forwarded to your team. This ensures that no case gets stuck, and your support can take over processing smoothly.
The Starter Model Fair-Start is therefore not just a simple chatbot, but an intelligent entry into digital customer communication with real process impact – at a simultaneously reduced entry barrier.
This is included:
- Up to 2,000 chats per month
- Conversation with brand-appropriate Chat AI
- Structured dialogue guidance on website or landing page
- Calendar entries and appointment handovers
- Human-in-the-Loop escalation via email to support
- Transfer of relevant conversation content for further processing
- Brand persona & tonality profile
- Multilingual in DE / FR / IT / EN
- Updates during the contract term
- GDPR ready
How escalation works
When Maria recognizes that an issue requires additional processing, the request is not simply terminated. Instead, it is structured and handed over to your team.
For example:
- Email to support or the responsible department
- Transfer of contact details
- Summary of the request
- Documentation of the previous conversation flow
- Preparation for quick further processing
This way, a usable next step directly emerges from the chat.
How Fair-Start works
The Fair-Start model runs for a minimum period of 3 months. During this time, a higher monthly subscription is charged, which already accounts for the initial setup costs within the model.
If the model is extended after the first 3 months, the setup remains included, and the regular monthly price of the Starter Model then applies.
If the model is terminated after 3 months, the setup costs have already been covered by the increased monthly price during the Fair-Start phase.
This provides a fair entry with clear calculation – both for the start and for the decision thereafter.

We'll bring your Ask-Maria live in 6 phases.
Phased implementation:
Phase 1 | Creating
Identify opportunities.
In the first phase, we lay the groundwork for Frag-Maria. Together with your team, we identify meaningful use cases, relevant channels, languages, and data sources. This transforms initial ideas into a clear starting point with prioritized opportunities, defined goals, and a realistic foundation for further development.
Phase 2 | Shaping
Refining ideas.
In this phase, a good idea becomes a precise MVP. We condense the use case to its essence, define the most sensible entry point, and check whether we can start with an existing solution or partner integration. At the same time, we clarify data, security, and framework conditions to ensure a viable, realistic start for the idea.
Phase 3 | Betting
Priorities & Roadmap.
In this phase, the MVP evolves into a robust business case. We test the defined use case in a real-world context, measure initial impacts, and verify where Maria delivers genuine added value – for customers, teams, and processes. This creates a solid basis for decisions regarding rollout, scaling, and future investments.
Phase 4 | Develop
Build, test, improve.
In this phase, Maria is built, tested, and specifically improved. We technically implement the MVP, connect flows, prompts, knowledge base, and integrations, and test with real cases in staging. This results in a functional, secure, and practical use case with clear fallbacks, handover rules, and a go-live basis.
Phase 5 | Go-Live
Operating, Fine-Tuning.
In this phase, Maria goes live on the defined channels. We monitor the initial interactions, measure key metrics such as response speed, transfer rate, satisfaction, and conversion, and specifically adjust the tonality, routing, and response quality. This transforms the MVP into a robust live operation with clear quick wins for the next expansion stage.
Phase 6 | Handover
Empowering Employees.
In this phase, we empower your team for the ongoing operation of Maria. We train departments and employees, hand over documentation on flows, data sources, roles, and KPI logic, and establish clear guidelines for maintenance, escalation, and further development. At the same time, we retain technical responsibility for 1st-level support – including maintenance, patches, and security and compatibility updates.
