AI consulting and engineering for European enterprises, scaling from strategy to production
appliedAI Initiative builds AI solutions for mid-market and large enterprises across Germany and EU, moving from consulting and use-case validation into production scaling and workflow automation. The tech stack (Python, LangChain, Azure, AutoGen, RAG, Kubernetes) reflects a hands-on engineering practice, while active adoption of LangGraph and CrewAI signals a shift toward agentic AI systems. Hiring velocity is decelerating but skews senior (6 senior, 5 principal roles open) — typical of a services firm pivoting from labor-intensive consulting toward productized or platform-led delivery.
