One week in Superset. One day in MotherDuck Dives. Our Data Visualisation Specialist Ana built the same kind of dashboard twice: once as custom Apache Superset plugins, once as a MotherDuck Dive. 🧩 Superset: 5 custom plugins, 30+ prompt revisions and a redeployment for every change. ⚡ Dive: 2 prompt revisions and a first working version after 30 minutes. One test, not a benchmark, and the data was already cleaned and joined. Her takeaway: the data layer first, the prompt second. 👉 The full article with her sample prompt is on Medium.

Plan first. Tests second. The agent writes the code. ✍️ 🧑‍💻 That’s how Felix summed up his part of our Impact Days. His task: rebuild the Android app for a label printer whose original app hadn’t been updated in years. Writing no code didn’t mean doing nothing. Felix started with a plan. First, the agent listed every feature of the old app. Then came the tests: before anything was built, the new app had to produce exactly the same print data as the old one. With that in place, the agent built the app overnight in a single session. On day two, Felix tested it on a real phone with a real printer, while parallel subagents reworked the interface. A final pass took care of motion and design details. The result after three days: a working app close to production, where every step can be traced back to the plan and the tests. What Felix would do differently next time: 🔸 Test on a real device from day one 🔸 Plan the work so several agent sessions can run in parallel 🔸 Capture the rules from this run so the next project starts faster Many companies have apps like this: still in use, but too costly to maintain and too risky to touch. When the plan and the tests come first, a prototype in days and a production version in weeks become realistic. Want to see how this could work for one of your apps? We’re happy to walk you through it. #AgenticAI #LegacyModernization #Android #ImpactDays #arconsis

Most production incidents aren’t new. They’re the same few problems, showing up at the worst possible time. 🤔 A crashing pod, a stuck rollout, a bad deploy on a Friday evening. Known problems, known fixes, and someone still gets paged. During our Impact Days, one team asked: what if an agent took the night shift? The result is KGuard, an agent on call for Kubernetes clusters. It watches traces, metrics and pods, collects evidence from logs and events, and finds the root cause. Then it decides who should fix it: KGuard itself, a coding agent that opens a pull request, or a person. The AI only proposes. Fixed rules decide what it may change. It has read-only access, tightly scoped permissions, never touches databases or secrets, and every fix passes a policy check before it runs. Afterwards, KGuard verifies that the fix actually worked. New fixes go into the runbook, so it gets better every time the team solves something new. Today, KGuard handles safe restarts, rollbacks and clean-ups on its own. And by design, the language model never decides freely. It follows the runbook, and the rules have the final say. What this means for the team: no night shifts for routine incidents, and no dropping everything during the day because a pod restarted. Instead of hunting for issues in the cluster, people can stay focused on their actual work. The biggest lesson: a good knowledge base matters more than the model. Routine incidents get handled within clear limits, and people can focus on the problems that actually need them. KGuard keeps things running. Your team keeps things moving.👋 Curious how it works in practice? We’re happy to walk you through the demo. #Kubernetes #AgenticAI #SRE #ImpactDays #arconsis

Speed is cheap. Proof is not. In one of our previous posts, we showed how a team during the arconsis Impact Days rebuilt the Apple apps for a label printer. Patrick took a different approach: he created one shared core for all four apps. The approach: Kotlin Multiplatform. 👍️ Printer connection, label format and rendering live in one code base for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows. A new shared interface sits on top. If a customer prefers to keep native interfaces, those can run on the same core. The real question wasn’t whether the agents could write the code. It was how to prove that nothing changed. So the old app became the referee: 🔸 416 real labels opened and saved again, nothing lost 🔸 Printer data byte for byte identical to the old app 🔸 From library to printed label on all four devices, on real paper Our favorite moment: the agents kept working overnight. Every change still had to pass tests and an independent AI code review against the old app before it was merged. Printing on the real printer stayed blocked until a human approved it. Not everything worked. Letting too many agents run in parallel brought the machine to its limits. Autonomy needs clear boundaries. One engineer and three days were enough to cover a large part of the original app’s features. #AgenticAI #LegacyModernization #KotlinMultiplatform #ImpactDays #arconsis

Data Mesh tells you who owns your data. It doesn’t tell an AI how to make sense of it. Our AI Solutions Architect Thimo Bess explains why good data governance alone doesn’t make data products accessible to AI. His answer is a knowledge graph as its own semantic layer. It gives an AI agent more than similar documents. It shows what a dataset depends on, what it feeds into and where it sits in the bigger picture. Data Mesh organizes responsibility. The knowledge graph organizes access. The full article is available at SIGS. Link in bio. Congrats on the publication, @drag0ndust​! 👏 #KnowledgeGraph #DataMesh #GraphRAG #DataArchitecture #SoftwareEngineering #EnterpriseIT #AI #KnowledgeSharing #WeLoveSoftwareEngineering #arconsis

The printer works fine. The software that runs it is the problem. 🧐 In our previous posts we showed how our Impact Days teams rebuilt the apps for a label printer. Gerd looked at a different question: what is the real value of the software, and how do you get it out? Until now, the printer only worked through an old Windows app and a custom driver, with no documentation. Everything the printer needs was buried in legacy code. But the value is not in the old app, it is in the ability to use the printer. Gerd didn’t port the old app. He had an AI agent review the parts of the legacy codebase relevant to the printer and document how they actually work. Based on that, he rebuilt only the necessary functionality as a small, modern library and tested it on the actual printer. The result: the printer now works as a modern standard Windows printer, over USB and Wi-Fi. Design a label in any tool, hit Print, and it comes out. No vendor software needed. What we learned: Agents are a very good tool for code archaeology. They read unfamiliar legacy code fast and accurately. Without the right guidance, though, they chase dead ends or dig too deep. The old code isn’t always right: in some cases the printer answered differently than the code suggested. The final check still happens at the desk, with a person at the real device deciding when to deviate from the old code. Many companies run hardware or systems whose know-how only lives in code nobody maintains anymore. Agents can dig it out in days instead of weeks, as long as experienced engineers guide them and keep the goal in mind. More from our Impact Days to follow. 💯 #AgenticAI #LegacyModernization #ClaudeCode #ImpactDays #arconsis

Most accessibility checks look at code. Your users look at the product. Since June 2025, the European Accessibility Act applies to many digital products in the EU. Yet most automated checks still run static scans that miss what real users run into. Product teams often have to choose: build the next feature or invest in accessibility. During our Impact Days, one team asked: what if AI agents made that choice unnecessary? Their approach: Build a dynamic set of skills and agents, which are capable of analyzing and evaluating the whole application using different perspectives. The team tested this on a website and an iOS app. The result is comply-on-the-fly, a Claude Code plugin that: ✅️ evaluates the product as people actually use it, rather than merely scanning it. ✅️works across platforms and adapts dynamically to the technology in use, whether it’s a website, an iOS app, or an Android app. ✅️ checks text size, contrast, screen reader support, navigation, keyboard access, and captions. ✅️catches details static scans miss, including low contrast in text embedded in images. ✅️ groups findings by root cause, giving you one ticket per underlying problem instead of hundreds of individual issues. A full scan of our own website ran on our existing AI subscription, with no additional tooling. Stay tuned for more details about the Impact Days projects!😀 #ImpactDays #Accessibility #AIagents #welovesoftwareengineering #arconsis

AI can write code. Most people believe that by now. The question our customers ask is a different one: "How do we know the new software still does the same thing?" That's what we explored during our Impact Days, using a real example: the apps for a label printer, built separately for four operating systems. Three teams took on three platforms: Apple (iOS and macOS as one app), Android and Windows. On the Apple side, we faced two challenges that anyone who works with legacy software will recognize: 🔸 The old code wasn't a good basis for translation. So we rebuilt it with AI agents, testing two approaches in parallel. 🔸 The legacy project no longer builds. Instead of reviving old toolchains, we used Claude Code to recreate the existing app's screens. That gave us a reference the new app has to match. One insight stood out: today’s AI models understand how migrations work. Without detailed instructions, they planned the work and orchestrated it across sub-agents. The lesson for us: the real value lies in choosing the right path and setting a clear benchmark for the result. And the benchmark isn't "does it run?" but "does it behave the same?" That's the standard we hold ourselves to when we modernize software with AI. #AgenticAI #LegacyModernization #ClaudeCode #ImpactDays #arconsis

Three days, five teams, one motto: Build. Break. Learn. 🚀 Last week we hosted our first “arconsis Impact Days.” Five teams spent three days working alongside AI agents to solve real-world engineering problems. What we took away: 💡 • Three focused days on one problem get further than many short slots spread over weeks • AI agents are fast, but they need clear rules and checkpoints to deliver results you can trust • Breaking things is part of it: not every approach worked, and those insights were just as valuable as the ones that did Last Friday every team presented its results. We'll show some more projects details one by one soon: what the teams built, what worked and what didn't. It was a lot of fun facing great challenges with an awesome team. A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of our first Impact Days. #arconsis #ImpactDays #AIagents #AI #SoftwareEngineering #noplacelikearconsis

☕ Breakfast Club In today's Breakfast Club session on "Persönlichkeit zählt: Ausdruck und Wirkung", Ina-Carola Enseroth from funfair & ice showed us how our body language, voice and presence shape the way others see us, often before we've said a single word. Within seconds, people ask themselves two questions: Can I trust this person? Can I respect them? The good news: a lot of what drives that impression is something we can actively work on. 💡 Key takeaways: Your role is the frame, your own style fills it Poor body language can tear down what good arguments have built When words and body don't match, trust suffers The basics matter: upright posture, steady stance, eye contact, clear gestures, and a smile Oscar Wilde knew it already: "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." So we're taking these impulses straight into our daily work, after a morning of great exchange and, of course, coffee. ☕ A big thank you to Ina-Carola and everyone who joined! #BreakfastClub #arconsis #PeopleDevelopment #communicationskills #softskills #noplacelikearconsis

How do you actually build with AI agents? Our Agentic Pattern Series gives you an overview of six patterns for six different problems: Orchestration puts seven specialist agents to work on one feature, each with exactly one job, planning, building, and reviewing like a real dev team. Paperclip takes it further with a whole simulated company of agents, CEO, CTO, and developers, moving tickets from request to pull request on their own. The Debate Pattern lets several agents argue a decision out before settling on one answer, catching blind spots a single agent would miss. The Sequential Pattern solves a different problem: instead of one agent juggling research, planning, coding, and review in a single pass, four specialists each own one phase and hand off in a fixed order, no router, no branching, no surprises. The Parallel Pattern asks five specialists the same question at once instead of taking turns, and the Self-Critique Pattern has an agent catch its own mistakes before a human ever sees them. Six patterns, six different ways to make AI agents more reliable.

Welcome to the arconsis team, Fabio! 🎉 We're happy to welcome Fabio Eletto as our newest Software Engineer, focusing on Cloud and ML. Fabio studied Computer Science at @hochschule_karlsruhe​ and first got an insight into arconsis through Adrian Wörle's App-Programming lecture: "I was drawn to the chance to gain experience across different products." His first days have already been a great start: "Everyone has been very welcoming and kind. I'm looking forward to working here!" Outside of work, Fabio enjoys padel, going to the gym, and reading. 💡 Fun fact: Fabio loves going to hackathons. That same passion for building things is exactly what we love. Great to have you on board, Fabio! 🌟 #arconsis #newemployee #welcomeonboard #noplacelikearconsis #softwareengineering #techjobs #karlsruhe

One agent handling everything can lead to shallow, unspecialized outputs, lost complexity and consequential errors. A solution? Each agent gets his own task, handing it off cleanly to the next as soon as they are done 📋☑️ That is called the sequential pattern 💡 In the last part of our Agentic Pattern Series, our colleague Jonas explains how chaining agents in sequence unlocks a new level of structure and reliability in complex AI workflows. Watch the full video about this and other agentic patterns on our arconsis YouTube Channel. Link in bio ✨ #AI #AgenticAI #AIAgents #AgenticPattern #SoftwareEngineering #welovesoftwareengineering

Multiple agents, one conversation, different perspectives challenging each other toward a better answer. That's the group chat pattern in action. In part 5 of our Agentic Pattern Series, our colleague Max takes a closer look at how this debate-driven approach works and why it leads to stronger results than a single agent working alone. Because using one AI means one perspective. And that's the problem: 🫸 No pushback, no blind spots caught 🙋 Your question frames the answer 🤷‍♀️ Confirmation bias baked in from the start The group chat pattern changes that. Multiple agents challenge, debate, and pressure-test each other's outputs, so the final answer is actually earned! Watch the video and the other parts of our series on YouTube.

Ever wonder if an AI agent could catch its own mistakes before you even see them? That's exactly what Michael, one of our Software Engineers, explores in this edition of our Agentic Pattern Series: The Self-Critique Pattern. The idea is simple, but the effect is not. The agent writes a first answer, then steps back and asks itself what's still weak or unclear. That critique gets checked against a few fixed standards: clarity, correctness, completeness. And from there, it writes a better version. It keeps looping until the answer actually holds up to its own standards. By the time a human reviews it, the agent has already caught its own obvious mistakes. And since every step is logged, you can always trace back why the final answer looks the way it does. In short: fewer surprises, and more confidence in the result. 🎥 You can find the whole series on our YouTube channel 👉️ link in bio. #AgenticAI #AIAgents #AgenticPattern #welovesoftwareengineering

Why ask one expert when the decision actually needs five? That's exactly what Patrick, one of our Software Engineers, takes us through in this edition of our Agentic Pattern Series: the Parallel Pattern. The idea is simple, but the effect is not. Instead of one agent trying to play all five roles, or five specialists taking turns, the same question goes out to all five at once: technical, financial, market, risk, and UX. Each one comes back with a different answer, and each of them is right, just from its own angle. A sixth call, from a coordinator, pulls those five answers together into one decision you can actually act on. By running everyone at the same time instead of one after another, the whole thing gets roughly three times faster, for the cost of just one extra call. In short: five honest perspectives, merged into one answer, without the wait. 🎥 You can find the whole series on our YouTube channel 👉️ link in bio. #AgenticAI #AIAgents #AgenticPattern #welovesoftwareengineering

Thinking seriously about multi-agent architecture? Adrian, Software Engineer at arconsis, has published Part 2 of the Agentic Pattern Series. If you’re exploring multi-agent systems and their architectural patterns, it’s definitely worth to watch. He walks through Paperclip: a multi-agent framework organized like an actual development team. CEO agent, CTO agent, developer agents, each with a defined role and a clear mandate. Tickets come in, agents implement and review against acceptance criteria, pull requests go out. No manual handoffs, no single-agent bottleneck. Worth watching if you're evaluating agentic workflows for your development setup.

Most AI coding demos stop where the interesting problem starts. A snippet compiles. Great. But can AI agents contribute to a real production codebase, with strict conventions, migration discipline, and a definition of "done" that survives contact with a code reviewer? Georgios, one of our Software Engineers, built a multi-agent workflow to find out. Seven specialist agents, every slice planned, reviewed, and audited before merge. He ran it against one of our own Kotlin Multiplatform projects and let it ship a real feature end to end. The bar wasn't "faster." The bar was: output the team would recognise as code we'd have written by hand. This is Pattern 1 of our new Agentic Pattern Series. Watch the video on our YouTube channel and 👉️ 👉️👉️link in bio.

☕ Breakfast Club Feedback is one of the most valuable tools for personal and professional growth, if we know how to receive and use it effectively. In our latest Breakfast Club session, Ina-Carola Enseroth from funfair & ice​ shared practical insights on “Umgang mit Feedback und Kritik”. We explored why our first reaction to feedback matters, how to separate emotions from valuable insights, and how constructive feedback can strengthen both collaboration and personal development. 💡 Key takeaways: • First reactions often follow SARA: Shock, Anger, Resistance, Acceptance • The "magic second": pause before you react, that's where the choice lies • Ask, don't defend: questions create clarity, defending shuts it down • Mistakes are prototypes, not flaws: they're data points on the way to a better version, not a verdict As always, the session combined practical insights with valuable exchange and, of course, coffee and breakfast. ☕🥐 A big thank you to Ina-Carola and everyone who joined the session! 🙌 #BreakfastClub #feedback #communication #softskills #noplacelikearconsis

Design and engineering work rarely get the credit they deserve. 👋 At the internal My #Porsche App Tech Day, our colleague Ghassen Ksouri (@ghassenks ), UX Lead & Product Owner at arconsis, had the pleasure of speaking there together with Lutz W.H. Dr. Krauß. They presented the evolution of design fundamentals, approach, and processes, from early products to the scalable design languages they work with today, and showcased the My Porsche App as a living result of this evolution. In a breakout session, Achim Baier, Managing Director at arconsis, presented the AI agent system "Strategy Council." The idea: multiple AI agents simulate different stakeholder perspectives, giving strategic decisions a broader and more considered foundation. Different topics, one common thread: design and engineering delivering real results, not buzzwords, in a regulated, safety-critical environment like automotive. #automotive #productdesign #aiagents #mobiledevelopment #arconsis #mobileenterprise #porsche

🎬 And that's a wrap on arconsis OKR cycle 6! The 6th OKR cycle under the topic "Agentic AI" has now officially come to an end with another review session. Our hybrid format let colleagues in and out the office present their outcomes, talk about what went well and what didn't work out 💬 The results were great articles, videos and other materials we already started and continue to share over the next weeks! Thank you to everyone on board for sharing your work and insights 👏 Now we can't wait for the next cycle, which will have some surprises in store 😉 #arconsis #noplacelikearconsis #OKR #teamspirit #growth #growthmindset

From the Classroom to the Workplace – Welcoming Fritz-Erler-Schule at arconsis 🚀 On Monday, we had the pleasure of welcoming students from the Fritz-Erler-Schule Pforzheim to our Karlsruhe office. These are students in E/3 (the introductory class at the Business High School) who have chosen Business Informatics as their advanced elective. With their Abitur coming up in 2 years and a focus on economics and computer science/business informatics, the visit was a great opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world experience. The day started with an office tour, followed by an introduction to arconsis and our work. Throughout the program, the students gained insights into the day-to-day work of a software engineer, explored the current state of AI and its impact on business and technology, and learned how marketing contributes to shaping our brand. Most importantly, there was plenty of time for questions and open discussions, making the exchange valuable for everyone involved. To wrap up the visit, we shared lunch together and sent the students home with an arconsis T-shirt as a small souvenir of the day. At arconsis, knowledge sharing is part of who we are. We believe that giving young people authentic insights into the professional world helps them make informed decisions about their future and maybe even sparks an interest in a career in tech. A big thank you to the students and teachers of Fritz-Erler-Schule Pforzheim for your curiosity, engagement, and great questions. We wish the pupils all the best for their Abitur in 2028 and every success in the exciting journey ahead. Maybe we’ll meet again in the future. 👋 #KnowledgeSharing #FutureOfWork #AI #SoftwareEngineering #CareerInsights #Pforzheim #Karlsruhe #noplacelikearconsis

Watch a coding agent work on a repo it doesn't know, and you'll see the same loop every time: grep, read, guess, backtrack, repeat. Our colleague Thimo (@drag0ndust) has a theory: the bottleneck was never the model. It's the blind search every agent runs before it touches a single line of code. He's been testing what happens when you stop making the agent search from scratch on every task, and hand it a map instead. Full breakdown on our Medium.

We are still dwelling in the memory of our 20 years anniversary event a few weeks ago 😍 👉 Take a look at some more impressions from the party by swiping through our carousel.

Our colleague Thimo (@drag0ndust) used to manage 34 Claude Code skills with nothing but a naming convention holding them together. When he tried to fix it with subfolders, he hit a dead end that led him somewhere much better. Turns out Claude Code doesn't do subfolders for skills. So he found another way to bring structure to the chaos, one that didn't cost him his live-editing setup. Full article, including exact structure, on Medium.

A hard decision rarely needs one opinion. It needs several, at the same time, not one after another. That's the idea behind Thimo Bess (@drag0dust) new article on the parallel agent pattern. Instead of running an LLM through four roles sequentially (slow) or cramming them into one mega-prompt (diluted), you fan the question out to several specialist agents running concurrently. Each one owns a single lens and never sees the others' output. A coordinator reads all of it and writes the final call. The result: faster answers and genuinely independent perspectives, since no agent can water down another's take. The key catch: this works great for analysis and review, but breaks down fast once multiple agents start writing to the same code or state. Think in parallel, decide centrally.

🤖 What happens when an AI delivery pipeline gets to build a real feature? In Part 2 of the Medium series, our Software Engineers Evangelos and Alexandros share how the AI agent framework was put into practice by building a "Trending Badge" for a Kotlin Multiplatform application. From backend logic and shared contracts to client integration, UI implementation, testing, and final review, the article shows how AI agents can work together within a structured engineering process, with checkpoints, retries, and human oversight along the way. The result: a fully working feature delivered across the stack, not by autonomous coding, but through a structured pipeline where AI supports engineering teams. 🤝 👉 Link to the Medium article in bio. #AI #AgenticAI #SoftwareEngineering #Kotlin #KotlinMultiplatform #DevOps

📱 AI Powered Testing Automation with Appium MCP UI tests are often missing, brittle, or eventually abandoned because they are expensive to build and maintain. Keeping them stable across platforms and OS versions requires continuous effort. Our Software Engineer Mario Walz shares in his newest Medium article how AI can make mobile UI testing faster and more accessible. With Appium MCP, AI assistants can control simulators and real devices through Appium by translating natural language instructions into executable test actions. Instead of writing every step manually, you describe your intent and the agent handles navigation, element detection, and script generation. The agent can: 🔎 Navigate through screens 🧩 Discover interactive elements 🛠️ Generate structured test suites ⏱️ Reduce manual scripting and maintenance effort Beyond testing, this approach also enables automated app exploration, living documentation, accessibility reporting, and structured analysis of user flows. 👉 Find the link to the Medium article in bio. #AI #TestAutomation #Appium #MobileDevelopment #SoftwareEngineering #Automation

🎄 Donation to the “Kinder- und Jugend Arche e.V.” This year, we continued a tradition that is very close to our hearts: giving back at Christmas time. We are delighted to support the Kinder- und Jugend Arche e.V. (@kinder.und.jugend.arche​) with a financial donation, and to bring additional joy to the children in Karlsruhe and Bretten by donating chocolate Advent calendars. The organization supports children between 6 and 14 years old who grow up in socially and financially challenging circumstances and often lack the support they need at home. For several years now, our Advent calendar donation has added a little extra warmth and joy to their December days – and we are grateful to play even a small part in that. The head of the Kinder- und Jugendarche Karlsruhe, Ms. Petra Hergert, shared a touching detail with us from previous years: Many children place their Advent calendar on the desk where they do their homework and study. After finishing their tasks, they reward themselves with a piece of chocolate. 🍫✨ We’re truly happy that we can support the Arche financially and put a smile on the children’s faces with the chocolate. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Arche team for their valuable work and the passion they bring to supporting children wherever they need it – whether through shared meals, learning support, personal development, or donations of food and clothing for their families. We wish the children and the entire team a joyful Advent season! #donation #affairoftheheart #kids #karlsruhe #bretten #arconsis #christmas

On November 25th, we observe the International Day for the Elimination of Femicide and Violence Against Women. Violence against women - including femicide - is still a reality, even at the heart of our society. In 2023, 155 women in Germany were killed by their (ex-)partners. That’s almost one woman every other day losing her life due to intimate partner violence. At arconsis, we stand for respect, equality, and a community free from violence — online, at the workplace, and in everyday life. 🧡 Silence protects the wrong people.

B2Run Frankfurt! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ This year, our team went to the start with numbers 1, 2, and 4. Not with the expectation of crossing the finish line first, but having those numbers certainly gave us a little motivational boost. 💪 Even though fewer arconsians could make it this time (some of our customers didn’t plan their key project milestones around B2Run day 😉), we still shared a great experience full of energy and team spirit. A big thank you to all participants and organizers for making this year’s B2Run season another great success. We are proud of everyone who took part. We are already looking forward to the B2Run season 2026! #frankfurt #b2run #event #running #teamactive #health #arconsis #teamspirit #jointheteam #noplacelikearconsis #gemeinsamaktiv

From marketing theory to practice – J11 pupils visit arconsis 💡 Two weeks ago, we had the pleasure of welcoming the advanced economics class of the 11th grade from Melanchthon Gymnasium in Bretten to our Karlsruhe office. It was already the fourth visit by pupils from the school - an experience that has become a valued tradition. These visits offer pupils valuable insights into real-world marketing at a tech company, while giving us the opportunity to challenge some of our ideas about employer branding with Gen Z and Alpha digital natives. After a brief introduction to arconsis by Achim, one of our managing partners, and a tour through the office, Martina, Head of Marketing, gave the pupils a deep dive into the marketing world of arconsis: strategic marketing, content creation, social media strategy, and campaign planning. A particular highlight was the interactive workshop on the use of generative AI in marketing. Together with Paul - responsible for video editing at arconsis - the pupils explored genAI tools and created their own content, showcasing their imagination and creativity. Throughout the day, the pupils demonstrated great curiosity and engagement, asking thoughtful questions that led to inspiring discussions. The day concluded with a shared lunch, rounding off the visit in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Knowledge sharing is important to us. We aim to foster it not only in software engineering, but also across other disciplines – including Marketing. By giving young people hands-on insights into the working world early on, we hope to support and inspire the next generation. It’s something we truly care about. A big thank-you to all participants for making this visit possible. We wish the pupils all the best for their Abitur next year and their future careers. And who knows – maybe some of them will return as future team member. 😉 #arconsis #MarketingInPractice #CareerOrientation #Karlsruhe #MelanchthonGymnasium #FutureOfWork #AIMarketing #TechCareers #noplacelikearconsis

@letsdev.de - UX Meetup am 23.07. – „Consumer UX vs. Enterprise UX“ 📱🎯 Auf den ersten Blick scheint alles ähnlich: Menschen bleiben Menschen, Human-Centered Design folgt universellen Prinzipien, und der UX-Prozess – Verstehen, Gestalten, Evaluieren – ist bekannt. Doch wie wirken sich die unterschiedlichen Kontexte von Consumer- und Enterprise-Software tatsächlich auf unsere tägliche UX-Arbeit aus? In diesem Meetup wollen wir gemeinsam mit euch die feinen, aber entscheidenden Unterschiede beleuchten – anhand konkreter Beispiele aus beiden Welten. Wir diskutieren, wie sich Nutzererwartungen und Nutzungskontexte auf UX-Strategien und Designentscheidungen auswirken – und was das für uns als UX Professionals bedeutet. Bringt eure Erfahrungen mit ein, denkt mit, diskutiert mit! Wir freuen uns auf eure Perspektiven – ob aus B2B, B2C oder irgendwo dazwischen. – Jetzt kostenlos anmelden und beim UX Meetup dabei sein!

Back to the 80s – arconsis BBQ 2025 🔥🌈 What an amazing evening! On July 4th, we held our annual arconsis BBQ – this time under the motto “Back to the 80s”. And it was a blast! With retro outfits, our managing directors Achim and Wolfgang truly stole the show. 🕺🕶️ We enjoyed delicious food grilled by the professional BBQ master Mr. Gropp from Bretten, as well as cool drinks, cocktails, and great conversations in a relaxed summer atmosphere. There was also a retro gaming corner featuring classics from the 80s – a place where both young and old had a great time. Guests included arconsis employees, their families and partners, alumni, and scholarship recipients from the Begabtenstiftung Informatik Karlsruhe at the KIT. The KIT students received a special highlight: our brand-new Welcome Backpack by GotBag, filled with arconsis gear, including a T-shirt, hoodie, notebook, pen, keychain with a bottle opener, sticky notes, and a unique arconsis puzzle. In the future, all new team members will receive this awesome backpack. Thanks for coming by - we're already looking forward to the next one! 🌟 #arconsis #noplacelikearconsis #teamspirit #summerbbq #karlsruhe #BackToThe80s #companyculture #grillparty #softwareengineering #techcompany

From the classroom to the creative world of UI/UX! What’s it like to work as a UI/UX designer? What skills matter most? And how do you design a portfolio that really stands out? As part of the end-of-year seminar week at the Lothar von Faber Vocational School (FOS) in Nuremberg, students from the 12th grade design track got a hands-on introduction to the world of user experience and interface design. 🎓 8 hours, 2 days – 50% theory, 50% practice: The seminar covered everything from UX principles and design tools to creating a personal portfolio website. It was led by Sebastian, UI/UX designer at arconsis, who shared his knowledge, real-life insights, and a lot of inspiration. 👏 Big thanks to the pupils for their creative energy – and to FOS Nuremberg for inviting us to be part of this amazing week of knowledge sharing! #KnowledgeSharing #UXDesign #UIUX #DigitalCreativity #PortfolioDesign #FOSNuremberg #arconsis #DesignEducation #FutureDesigners #ClassroomToCareer

🔁 KI trifft Datenschutz – Vol. 2 After presenting this topic at the Karlsruhe Entwicklertag 2025, Adrian and Lars will continue with their talk today @hochschule_karlsruhe (Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences) . 🎤 As guest lecturers in the “Data Mining & Machine Learning 2” course (Data Science program, Faculty of Computer Science & Business Information Systems), they will share practical insights on having privacy in mind when using AI with tomorrow's tech professionals. 🚀 We believe in active knowledge transfer, not only within the industry but also at an earlier stage with students and pupils. Building AI responsibly starts with education. #AIatScale #Privacy #KnowledgeSharing #arconsis #KItrifftDatenschutz #MachineLearning #DataScience #HKA

We were there – at the „Entwicklertag Karlsruhe“! 🙌 Adrian and Lars, Software Engineers at arconsis, took the stage with their talk “Secure AI Usage through Local Anonymization of Sensitive Data”, sharing practical insights from real-world projects on how to use AI responsibly. In recent years, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and in particular large language models (LLMs) has increased significantly. However, this poses risks for personally identifiable information (PII), as AI systems could store input text and use it for future training purposes. Adrian and Lars presents an innovative method to de-identify prompts by replacing sensitive information with neutral, semantically identical data. For this purpose, the input is first anonymized by a self-hosted backend, then passed on to the actual LLM and finally the answer is brought back into its original form by re-identification and sent to the user. Engaging discussions and a great day together with the tech community made the day truly rewarding. Huge thanks to andrena for organizing a great event! We’re already looking forward to next time! #etka25 #AI #DataPrivacy #arconsis #Anonymization #PII #SecureAI #LLMs #PrivacyByDesign #ResponsibleAI #KnowledgeSharing #Entwicklertag2025
