Automation, chatbot or AI agent?
Not every task needs an agent. Use-case discovery shows where an agent helps, and where simpler automation wins.
| Rule-based automation | AI agent | Chatbot | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it does | Runs fixed steps you define | Plans steps and uses your tools to finish a task | Answers questions in a chat |
| Messy input (emails, documents) | No: needs structured data | Yes | Partly: answers, doesn't act |
| Takes actions | Yes, exactly as scripted | Yes, within the permissions you set, after approval | Usually not |
| Best for | Stable, repetitive rules | Multi-step work across tools | FAQs and simple support |

EU AI Act, GDPR and DORA
This is general information, not legal advice. Your legal adviser has the final word.
EU AI Act
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 applies in phases: bans on certain practices and AI-literacy duties since 2 February 2025, rules for general-purpose AI models since 2 August 2025 and most other rules since 2 August 2026; some high-risk rules apply later. Many business agents are not high-risk, but transparency duties, such as telling people they are dealing with an AI, can apply.
Official source: AI Act (European Commission) ↗GDPR and the BDSG
The GDPR and Germany's Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) apply whenever an agent processes personal data. We plan lawful basis, data minimisation and access limits into every agent.
Official source: BDSG (gesetze-im-internet.de) ↗DORA
The EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act has applied since 17 January 2025. It sets ICT risk rules for banks, insurers and other financial entities, including for their ICT suppliers. We document our part for your review.

Frequently asked questions
AI agent development in Frankfurt: before you book a call.
Do you have an office in Frankfurt?
Yes. UnFoldMart's Frankfurt office is at Taunustor 1, 60310 Frankfurt am Main. You can meet the team there in person or talk by video.
What is an AI agent, and how is it different from a chatbot?
A chatbot answers questions. An agent also acts: it uses your tools to finish multi-step tasks, like updating a CRM record, within the permissions you set.
How much does AI agent development cost in Frankfurt?
Pricing is custom. Cost depends on the number and complexity of tasks, the systems to connect, your data, the risk level and hosting. After a short brief and a free 30-minute call, you get a written estimate. Model and hosting costs are billed by your providers; we estimate them early.
How long does it take to build an AI agent?
Typically: use-case and data review 1 to 2 weeks, prototype 2 to 4 weeks, pilot 3 to 6 weeks, production rollout 2 to 6 weeks. These are ranges, not guarantees.
How do you stop an agent from making costly mistakes?
It starts read-only, shows its evidence and waits for a person's approval. Only actions you list can run automatically, and everything is logged. Test sets built from your own cases run before every release.
Can the agent run in our own cloud account?
Yes. The agent, its logs and, if needed, an open-weight model can all run in your own cloud account. Otherwise we agree regions and providers that don't train on your data.
Does the EU AI Act apply to our agent?
It applies in phases, and most rules have applied since 2 August 2026. Many business agents aren't high-risk, but transparency duties can still apply. We help you classify your use case; legal sign-off stays with your counsel.
Do you build AI agents for banks and insurers in Frankfurt?
Yes. Agents start read-only, show their evidence and wait for a person's approval, and every action is logged. We document data handling, access and testing so your risk and compliance teams can review it, for example under DORA.
Which language do we work in?
The free first call on this page is in English; our German page offers the first call in German. During the project we talk by video in English, and you can also meet us at Taunustor 1.
Can we see AI agent projects you have built?
Our published projects are web, brand and marketing work, so we don't present them as AI agent references. Instead, you judge the work on your own data: the prototype is tested on your real examples before you decide on a pilot.
