Our Story

About TheGenAI

Independent AI studio based in Amsterdam, founded in 2026 by Dima Kalachniuk.

Principal-Led AI Engineering & Architecture

Founded in 2026 in Amsterdam by senior engineer Dima Kalachniuk, TheGenAI operates as a lean, independent AI studio. Rather than traditional agency overhead with junior handoffs and layers of account management, clients partner directly with a principal builder who designs, architectures, and ships every system.

From architecting production agentic workflows and reverse-engineering complex legacy codebases to launching live MVPs in rapid 8-hour sprints, we combine deep engineering rigor with pragmatic speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our AI solutions.

Can you really build a prototype in 8 hours?

+

Yes. By focusing on the "magic" feature and leveraging pre-built components, we deliver high-quality, focused results that solve real problems.

Do I need a technical background?

+

No. Our workshops and prototypes are designed to bridge the gap between business ideas and technical reality for everyone.

What happens after the 8 hours?

+

You receive a working prototype of your core feature along with the complete source code. Production hardening — adding automated tests, CI/CD, security audits, logging, and production infrastructure — is a separate, scoped follow-up phase so you only invest once value is proven.

Where does TheGenAI operate?

+

TheGenAI is based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and serves clients across all of Europe with on-site and remote workshops and consulting.

How do I book a workshop or order an MVP?

+

Email us at info@thegenai.nl or fill in the contact form on our website to get started.

How does TheGenAI handle enterprise data security, privacy, and EU AI Act compliance?

+

We prioritize enterprise-grade security and full compliance with the EU AI Act and GDPR. All solutions can be deployed 100% privately within your enterprise VPC (AWS, Azure, GCP) or on-premise air-gapped environments. We enforce zero data retention policies with zero training on your proprietary data. Learn more on our Security and Data Handling page.

How do you reverse-engineer and document undocumented legacy codebases?

+

We employ specialized static analysis engines and private LLM agents to map service boundaries, data flows, database schemas, and API contracts into living architectural diagrams and OpenAPI specifications. We also create context layers (AGENTS.md, llms.txt) allowing modern AI coding assistants to work safely with your legacy code without hallucinations.

What do your services cost?

+

We work with fixed, transparent pricing: AI Readiness Scan (€3,900 fixed), 8-Hour Proof-of-Value Sprint (€2,900 fixed), Legacy Codebase Intelligence (pilot from €5,500, full codebase from €15,000, with pilot fee credited toward full engagements), Production Hardening (€1,000/day or €4,750 for 5 days), and Developer Workshops (half-day €2,000, full-day €3,500). Website as a Service (WaaS) offers dedicated plans starting from €0 upfront.

Who owns the code?

+

You do. The client owns 100% of the deliverables and custom source code, as agreed and stipulated in our contract. There is no vendor lock-in.

What is the AI-literacy session?

+

The AI-literacy session is a half-day interactive workshop covering the AI-literacy obligation under the EU AI Act for organisations using or deploying AI systems. It provides practical, non-technical and technical guidance on safe, compliant AI usage.

How does Codebase Intelligence prevent high-risk 'Big Bang' rewrites?

+

Instead of freezing feature work for a multi-year rewrite that risks omitting undocumented edge cases, our codebase intelligence maps dependencies and data flows so you can safely apply the Strangler Fig pattern — incrementally migrating isolated modules with zero downtime.

How do you eliminate key-person risk ('sleutelpersoonrisico') in legacy systems?

+

We extract tribal knowledge directly from git history, undocumented business logic, and code paths into living architectural maps, OpenAPI specs, and AI context layers (AGENTS.md, llms.txt), ensuring no single engineer is a single point of failure.
