Business context
Why this project mattered
Many users in Germany need to write formal letters for administrative, contractual, or everyday situations, but writing in the correct tone and structure can be time-consuming, especially for non-native speakers or people unfamiliar with standard German letter formats.
Problem
What was slow, manual, or hard to maintain
- Writing correct, well-structured German letters is time-consuming and easy to get formally wrong.
- A generic AI chat interaction does not give users a guided, repeatable workflow.
- The product needed to stay simple and focused rather than open-ended.
Goal
What success meant
Build a lightweight SaaS product that helps users generate professional German standard letters through a clear form-based workflow and AI-assisted output.
