OctopusGenius

OctopusGenius is the AI agency for the German Mittelstand. We help companies with 30 to 500 employees turn artificial intelligence from a gimmick into a real productivity lever in everyday work — strategically sound, technically clean and culturally embedded.

Our principle: enablement, not just delivery. We build with you, not only for you. Instead of keeping you dependent, we train 5 to 7 AI champions inside your own company — people who understand your business better than any external consultant. When we leave, it's not over — that's when it really begins. We work with clear fixed prices per project (we carry the risk of reality), we're on-site with you every month instead of in a webinar, and we set everything up GDPR-compliant — with local LLMs and your own infrastructure if you want. Your data stays your data.

Our four service areas can be booked individually or combined:

• AI Consulting & Strategy — from use-case audits to establishing internal AI leadership.
• AI Workshops & Training — from the leadership team to the front-line staff.
• Automation — quick wins that free up days of work per week, within a few weeks.
• Tool & Software Development — custom tools and SaaS whose code belongs to you.

If you want to embed AI systematically across your entire organization, our AI-Ready Program bundles all of this into an 8-month transformation program: assessment, enablement, implementation and anchoring.

More than 50 successfully delivered projects, 100% custom-built, typically under four weeks to the first production-ready solution. Founded in 2025, based in Cologne. Led by Marco Morinello (strategy) and Manuel Frambach (enablement), who also show every day on the KI-Snack podcast what really works in the world of AI — and what's just hype.
