Frequently asked questions about AI for mid-sized companies
Who is the AI knowledge section for?
For decision-makers in mid-sized companies who want to understand AI as a tool for concrete processes rather than a buzzword – from quote costing to document review.
Where should a mid-sized company start with AI?
With a process that occurs often, is clearly described and eats time today. Quote costing, invoice checking and enquiry qualification are the three entry points that pay off fastest.
What does a first AI use case cost?
We offer the potential analysis at a fixed price; a first productive use case typically sits in the low five figures. The deciding factor is how clean your data is.
Do I need a data warehouse for AI?
Not necessarily, but a central data platform helps. Without a reliable data base, any model produces results that nobody quite trusts.
How do I stay compliant with the EU AI Act?
First classify which risk category your use case falls into. Most mid-market cases carry transparency and documentation duties – we plan those in from the start instead of retrofitting them.
Does our data stay in Europe when we use AI?
Yes, if you set it up that way. We work with European providers such as Langdock and with models operated inside the EU – or locally, if the data demands it.
Does AI replace employees?
In our projects AI takes over routine parts, not roles. The noticeable effect is that established teams handle more volume without quality suffering.
What is an AI agent as opposed to a chatbot?
A chatbot answers, an agent acts: it reads data from the ERP, makes a decision based on rules and writes the result back – supervised and logged.
How do I measure whether an AI project paid off?
With a metric fixed before you start: throughput time, error rate or cases handled per employee. Without a baseline, any later assessment is a matter of taste.
What is the next step after reading?
An AI potential analysis: two weeks, fixed price, ending in a prioritised list of use cases with effort and expected effect.
