For example
New room, same foundation.
The ERP integration built for invoice checks can also prepare the reply to a supplier query. For each new application, we check which data, rules and access it needs.
Your AI infrastructure partner
Your own AI infrastructure.
We develop AI applications for your workflows and the foundation they run on. Independent of any single AI vendor, flexible on models, hosted in the EU cloud or on your own premises.
- Agreed scope at a fixed price
- Your code. Your choice of operator.
Our main lesson from more than 50 AI projects
What matters is not which AI model you use. What matters is who owns the foundation.
Your business is the house. AI is the electricity.
What your AI does
Check invoices · Prepare enquiries · Analyse product data
The foundation you own
Knowledge · Workflows · Integrations · Rules
What you already have
ERP · CRM · Email · Documents
The electricity comes from AI models: OpenAI today, Anthropic tomorrow, perhaps a local model after that. Changing your electricity provider does not mean rebuilding the house.
Understand AI infrastructureSometimes the right platform is enough.
If existing software covers your needs, we recommend using it. Check where your knowledge, workflows and integrations end up: whatever you build on a vendor's platform stays there, under its rules and prices. Custom development makes sense where your workflows need their own logic, system connections or specific controls.
Case studies
Where AI can take your business further.
Some projects start with a time-consuming workflow, others with a new feature for your customers. Here are three of them, starting with invoice checks at babyartikel.de.
Client project · FinanceAI reconciles the data. The team reviews exceptions.
Invoice & goods receipt
The workflow uses information from invoices, goods receipts and agreed terms.

Master data matched · case created in the CRM
An enquiry becomes a case to work on.
For Burgenland Messe, Eva reads exhibitor enquiries from emails, PDFs and forms. It compares the details with master data and creates the case in the CRM.

Sleep data analysed · following sleep² guidelines
Product data becomes personal insight.
In the sleep² app, sleep data turns into tens of thousands of personal analyses every day, in more than 15 languages. The terminology and guidelines defined by sleep² shape the content.
Explore the sleep² projectWorking together
You know what you are commissioning.
We establish the value and technical feasibility before you commission the build. Together we define scope, acceptance criteria and responsibilities.
Discuss your goal
Bring a workflow, a product idea or an open question. We look at where you are today.
Assess the project
We test data and systems using real cases. This informs the business case, technical concept and proposal.
Build and accept
We build the agreed scope at a fixed price and review the result with your business and IT teams.
Run and keep building
You receive code and documentation. Together we agree the handover, ongoing operation and possible extensions.

AI Compass
Several ideas, or none that is clear yet? In the AI Compass you assess possible use cases with us before any budget goes into a build.

Sometimes your leadership team first needs a shared picture of what AI can do in a company today and where its limits are. Sebastian Podesser covers this in a keynote, with examples from project work.

What people say after working with us
The workshop with thirdmind showed very clearly: AI is not for lazy people, but for those who want to do more. Many small adjustment screws became tangible because the big picture was clearly organized.
Katrin PascherProduct Owner / Brand Management · Wien Energiethirdmind helped us develop the AI-based sleep coach for our sleep² app with strong technical care. The structured project management, clear scoping, and specific implementation for our application were especially valuable. Without thirdmind, we would not have reached this level of quality.
Dr. Thomas WinklerCEO · nukkuaa GmbH / sleep²Finn does not replace accounting for us. It takes over the preliminary checks. That is exactly the part that takes time every day: comparing invoices with goods receipts, master data, and conditions, and surfacing only the cases that need attention.
thirdmind quickly developed a clear architecture, structured data logic and a functioning GenAI-first prototype from complex requirements. The collaboration was pragmatic, technically strong and always focused on implementation.
Samir ShehataHead of Product · Wertstatt8 / Energie AGHow we work
Four commitments that keep you independent.
Fixed price
The price for the agreed scope is set before we start. We do not bill by the hour. Additional requirements are agreed separately.
The code is yours
At the end of the project, we hand over the custom source code and documentation. Third-party software and models retain their own licences.
Developers on site
In the key phases, our developers work at your premises: process mapping, integration, joint testing. Direct contact instead of long rounds of back-and-forth.
Your choice of operator
You run the solution yourselves, we run it, or another provider does. We agree the handover together.
A partner you can replace at any time has to earn its place every month.
Your implementation partner
Working with the people who know the workflow.
Your operational team and IT are involved from the start. Together, we define requirements, test real cases and prepare for operation. Sebastian and Lukas are your points of contact.
Lukas Salchner
Co-Founder & CTOResponsible for architecture, system integration and engineering.

Before we start
What else you may want to know.
How do we find a suitable use case?
Start with recurring work that takes time or holds up a process. We look at the data, systems and exceptions involved. The use-case check establishes whether implementation is worthwhile.
Can we keep our existing systems and AI tools?
We build around your existing environment and check which interfaces are available. An existing AI platform may cover part of the need. Custom workflows can complement it.
What do our team and IT department need to contribute?
We need a process owner, representative cases and agreed system access. Together we define approvals and test the application. Required contributions and on-site sessions are included in the proposal.
How are scope and price agreed?
The use-case check prepares the basis for an individual fixed-price implementation proposal. Scope, responsibilities and acceptance criteria are agreed in advance. Changes and ongoing operation are arranged separately.
Where is our data processed?
That depends on the agreed architecture. We clarify which data is processed in which system and by which model provider before implementation. EU cloud and local setups are assessed with your IT team.
Can we switch the AI model later?
Yes. Knowledge, workflows, integrations and rules form your infrastructure, and the model plugs into it. If you move to another vendor or a local model, this foundation stays in place. Technical adjustments and a test with your own cases may be needed, but not a rebuild of the application.
Can we operate the solution ourselves or switch providers?
You receive the custom code and agreed documentation and access. Your IT team or another provider can take over, subject to the required technical skills and third-party licences. We agree the handover and responsibilities.
First conversation
30 minutes is enough for the first step.
Together we look at a workflow that costs you time today. Afterwards you know whether a closer assessment is worthwhile. No obligation and no follow-up costs.
