AI automation for SMEs: 5 steps to your first success
No big-bang project, no data science team: how small and mid-sized businesses start with AI automation pragmatically and measurably.
Consulting, workshops & training
AI strategy without the buzzwords
Not every problem needs AI – but many companies leave huge potential on the table. We help you find the right use cases, assess risks realistically and get started with a clear plan.
Why it matters
AI consulting & strategy
Our consulting is hands-on: we come from engineering and know what works technically, what it costs and how long it takes. Instead of endless slide decks you get a prioritised list of use cases with effort, benefit and next steps.
That includes the guardrails: privacy under the GDPR, obligations under the EU AI Act such as AI literacy for staff, and internal policies for using AI tools safely.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who is your AI consulting for?
For SMEs and enterprises that want to introduce AI in a structured way – whether you are just starting out or already use some tools and are planning the next step.
Does the EU AI Act affect us?
Very likely, at least in part: companies that deploy AI systems must, among other things, take measures to support AI literacy among their staff. We give you practical guidance – it does not replace legal advice.
Do you offer on-site training?
Yes – on-site in and around Vienna, and remotely across Europe. We tailor the content to your industry and tools.
What is the best way to start?
