DATEV AI Workshop – Shaping the future. Together.
Creation of an experimental online platform for testing generative AI and developing prototypes
The DATEV AI workshop heralds a new era in tax consulting.
DATEV, a leading IT cooperative for the tax, accounting and legal professions, offers software solutions for tax firms, their clients, public authorities and banks.
Under the motto “Shaping the future. Together.”, DATEV develops innovative solutions together with customers and partners, such as the DATEV AI workshop.
The free online platform is used for the experimental testing and development of generative artificial intelligence, provides insights into the future of tax consulting and enables direct user feedback.
This allows the prototypes on the platform to be continuously improved.

MISSION (IM)POSSIBLE:
A tight timeframe for the development of the DATEV AI workshop
The requirement was to create responsive prototypes in a very short time.for the AI workshop.
The aim was to create a functioning platform in the DATEV cloud on which the applications could be tested and further developed at an early stage of development. In addition, a central requirement of DATEV was to ensure compliance with the company-specific design guidelines for the UX (user experience) design.
The solution:
The development of experimental prototypes of QualityMinds
QualityMinds was able to provide a cross-knowledge competence team of experienced development, DevOps, testing, AI and UX experts for the implementation.
Further development of the prototypes based on user feedback.
As part of an agile project approach based on Scrum with sprints, the focus in the first phase of development was on developing functional prototypes and iteratively improving them based on user feedback.
User feedback is crucial for adding new functions to the platform and deciding whether prototypes could leave the AI workshop to be further developed as a finished product. On the other hand, regular communication with daily scrum meetings, regular sprint reviews and feedback loops accelerated collaboration enormously.
