About Cherry Pie Labs

A young German startup with a clear mission.

We want to help European companies become world-class at adopting AI, by building out their own strengths in an AI-native way, with solutions as individual as they are.

What we believe.

If you buy the same software as everyone else, where is your edge supposed to come from? Off-the-shelf AI tools bring efficiency, but no advantage. Real competitiveness only shows up when a company builds out its own strengths in an AI-native way.

That is why we start by listening. DeepListen interviews your entire organisation and makes visible how your company actually works: the processes, the workarounds and the knowledge that only lives in people's heads. On that basis we build what genuinely carries weight for you — as individual as in-house software, as fast as off-the-shelf. Run it locally if you like, always under EU law.

How we work

From listening to a solution built for you.

  1. 01DeepListen

    We listen — to everyone

    We come to you. And we listen to the whole organisation: DeepListen interviews any number of people at once, by voice or text, in a single morning rather than over months.

  2. 02Analysis

    We find the potential

    The answers turn into a clear picture of how you work: what runs well, where the friction sits, and which knowledge is about to leave the company.

  3. 03Assessment

    We tell you straight

    We tell you openly what's worth doing and what isn't. No buzzword bingo, just an honest assessment, as an equal partner.

  4. 04Delivery

    We build what lasts

    A first prototype is usually up within weeks — built around what the interviews actually surfaced. You see early whether the solution delivers.

The people behind it

The people you'll meet.

The three founders of Cherry Pie Labs at a table
Christoph, Thomas and Stephan (l. to r.)

Meet the three founders: a physicist, a German-studies graduate and an economist. Three perspectives, one standard. We put AI to work in European companies as a real lever, not a buzzword.

Christoph is a trained physicist with 15 years in software development and consulting. Thomas (German studies) and Stephan (economics) have been building software for over ten years and previously ran a consulting firm together. AI has been our focus for several years now. All three have run their own businesses for some time, and in 2026 they brought that expertise together in Cherry Pie Labs.

Let's talk about your edge.

Tell us where things get stuck. We listen before we suggest anything — and tell you openly what is worth doing.
