We help organisations integrate AI into what they already do.

We work alongside your team — from discovery through production.

Discovery

Workshops, stakeholder mapping, technical feasibility, ROI modelling.

Prototype

Custom model development — vision, LLM, forecasting. Evaluation-first.

Production

MLOps, deployment, monitoring, failover. On-prem or eu-central-1.

Retainer

Embedded engineering, long-term partnerships, knowledge transfer.

AI without the marketing Austrian Staatspreis Consulting 2022, a sub auspiciis PhD in AI, and one of the first AI-assisted lectures in Austria — backed by four shipped patents and production deployments running since 2013.

Recent examples we can share publicly:
