Custom software and AI agents that keep running in everyday operations
Field-service operations apps
Clock-in, routes, photo proof per job site and hours for the office, in an app that keeps working without reception and syncs once the device is back online.
AI agents for orders and calls
Voice and email agents that take orders, calls and enquiries and hand them to your systems in a usable form, are tested against test cases before going live, and ask instead of guessing when something is ambiguous.
Custom apps and integrations
Web and iPhone/Android applications, interfaces to ERP systems over XML and EDIFACT, on-device image processing and compliant e-invoicing such as XRechnung per EN 16931.
Legacy system takeover
Legacy applications inherited without handover or documentation are secured and made reproducibly deployable first, so changes happen afterwards without outage windows.
Strengths & Pros
+Build-and-operate model: the same team that ships your software keeps running it
+Offline-first field apps and tested AI agents designed for real operational conditions
+On-device and Germany-hosted processing with ISO 27001-certified infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions: dioptify vs VS Code
dioptify has 0 monthly visits, while VS Code has 7,397,370. Traffic estimates describe audience size, not product quality.
Clear process with staged approvals and test cases before anything goes live
+Registered company with published insurance, VAT ID and public-sector procurement access
Limitations
–Not a self-serve product: everything starts with a project enquiry and a written quote, so there is no signup-and-go free tier
–Operated mainly in German and focused on the Hannover region, which limits fit for international teams
–Image, video and style-transfer processing from the old cloud suite is no longer the core offering
–No public price list — budgeting requires contacting the team first
VS Code
Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agent collaboration and orchestration
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Model and harness choice
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
Deep language support
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Full development workflow
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
Strengths & Pros
+Free, open-source editor with a mature extension ecosystem and years of active development
+AI agents work directly on your real codebase with plans, diffs and reviewable changes
+Freedom to mix models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight providers, and to pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness
+One setup covers local development, containers, SSH, WSL, remote tunnels and browser-based editing
+Strong accessibility, enterprise policy and remote-development features for professional teams
Limitations
–AI agent and chat features require a paid GitHub Copilot plan, and heavier agent workflows consume premium request quotas quickly
–The full agent feature set spans VS Code, the Copilot CLI, GitHub Mobile and GitHub.com, which can feel fragmented while the ecosystem matures
–Extensions run with editor privileges, so a poorly maintained or malicious add-on can pose a supply-chain risk
–Large workspaces with many extensions and language servers can get memory-hungry and slow on modest hardware
