Learn moreGDPR, the EU AI Act and hosting: what German companies watch for
Data protection (GDPR): As soon as personal data is processed, you need a legal basis, clear responsibilities and, with external providers, usually a data processing agreement. Good AI consultants plan for this from the start.
EU AI Act: The European AI regulation classifies AI systems by risk. Many typical business applications mainly face transparency obligations; high-risk applications, for example in hiring decisions, must meet much stricter requirements.
Hosting & sovereignty: Many solutions can run in German or European data centres, and open-source models can run fully in-house. Put these requirements in your project description so matching takes them into account.
AI expertise in demand across Germany
Beyond classic development, profiles for governance, sovereign AI and enablement are increasingly in demand nationwide. After free registration, matching suggests suitable vetted experts.

Freelancer vs. AI agency vs. Die KI Plattform
For a single, well-scoped task, a freelancer is often the cheapest option. An AI agency takes management and liability off your hands — at a higher cost. Die KI Plattform combines both worlds: vetted freelancers and agencies, compared for free, GDPR-compliant, and in days instead of months.
