AI Integration for Websites and Shops

What AI Integration Means Here

In an AI integration I build an AI feature into a system that already runs or is being created. I do not build or operate the AI itself. I connect existing AI services (API and cloud providers, including providers from the EU) and make sure they fit cleanly into your website, shop or web application.

The work includes technical advice inside the project: which provider and model fit, where the data sits, and which costs arise in operation. We decide location and model choice together. General strategy and process consulting is not part of what I offer.

Who I Do This For

My work is for small and medium-sized businesses in the DACH region that already have a website, a shop or a web application and want to add an AI feature to it. I also work with agencies that need a developer as a subcontractor for the AI parts of a project.

My AI Services

Each service has its own page with process, limits and questions:

  • AI Chatbot Development - a chatbot on your website that answers from your own documents (RAG: the model consults a knowledge base outside its training data before it answers)
  • AI for WordPress and TYPO3 - AI features in existing content management systems, also in PHP and Laravel applications
  • AI Agents and MCP Servers - AI agents that carry out tasks in your systems, and MCP servers (an open standard that lets AI applications reach data sources and tools)
  • AI Developer for Agencies - implementation of the AI parts of your client projects, agreed briefly and technically
  • AI Document Processing - read documents automatically and review the results in an editor before anything is processed further

How I Work

An AI feature takes shape in this order:

  1. Clarify the project: What should the AI feature do, and where is conventional programming the better choice?
  2. Look at what exists: I check your system, your data and the document type.
  3. Choose provider, model and location: We decide together; I prepare the options technically.
  4. Build and test: I build the feature, secure the core flows with tests and plan human review in from the start.
  5. Operate: On request I take over hosting, updates and further development.

I use AI tools in my own work as well. How that looks is described under AI-Driven Development. It is a different topic from the AI features your users will use later.

Location and Model Choice

As soon as an AI feature sends text or documents to a service, the question arises where that data is processed. There are providers based in the EU that offer AI models through an API. Whether a particular provider suits your project is something I check with you before we decide. An EU location does not replace a review: contracts, legal basis and embedded third-party services need separate review. For that I recommend a legal review by a qualified person. The technical questions are covered under AI and Hosting in the EU.

Maintenance of Existing AI Features

An AI feature is not finished at launch. On request I take over maintenance of existing AI features, including ones I did not build: bug fixes, updates and adjustments. Operating the website itself is covered under Hosting and Maintenance.

Limits

I do not want to raise false expectations:

  • An AI feature does not work correctly in every case. Where a mistake would have consequences, a person reviews the result.
  • I do not give legal advice.
  • I implement AI features. Independent strategy and process consulting and general process automation are not part of what I offer.

An Example from My Own Development

pdf-in-zugferd.de is my own product (SaaS), developed by me. The portal reads uploaded documents with AI. Users check and change the detected values in an editor before anything is processed further. Technically it shows tenant separation and encrypted storage of saved files. It serves as a verifiable example of my work, not as an offer.

Discuss AI Integration

You have an existing website or web application and wonder whether and how an AI feature fits? Tell me briefly about your project: which system you use, which data or documents are involved and whether an EU location is required. Then I will tell you what can be done.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does AI integration include?

I build AI features into websites, shops and web applications: chatbots, answers drawn from your own documents, document reading, AI agents and MCP servers. It comes with technical advice inside the project on provider, model, location and costs. That advice ends when the implementation ends.

Do I need to rebuild my website for this?

No. Usually I extend an existing system such as WordPress, TYPO3 or a PHP or Laravel application. Whether that works without a major rebuild is something I check on your system before I suggest anything.

Where does my data run?

We decide the location together before I build anything. A server in the EU is a good basis, but it does not replace a review. This is not legal advice. More on this under AI and Hosting in the EU.

What does an AI integration cost?

There is no flat answer. The price depends on the scope of the connection, the data sources, the chosen provider and the ongoing operation. After a short conversation about your project you get a concrete estimate from me.

How reliable are the answers of an AI feature?

That depends on the task, the data and the model. I do not promise a percentage. That is why I build human review into the process from the start: the AI makes a suggestion, and the decision stays with you.

Do you also take care of an AI feature that is already running?

Yes, maintaining existing AI features is part of what I offer: bug fixes, updates and adjustments. Tell me briefly what you run today, and I will tell you what I need to know.
