Building AI since
before it was cool.
Austrian engineering firm. AI practitioners since 2016. We built intelligent calendar systems and recommendation engines years before the ChatGPT era — and we haven't stopped shipping since.

A decade of AI, not a year of hype
Founded — AI from Day One
Launched Ahoi Kapptn! in Austria with a clear bet on artificial intelligence. Our first projects included an AI-powered calendar system and intelligent automation tools — years before the mainstream AI wave.
Enterprise AI at Scale
Trusted by Red Bull, the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB), and the Austrian Bundesliga to build production AI systems — from intelligent content platforms to data-driven fan engagement tools.
Own AI Products & Platforms
Built and launched proprietary AI platforms, expanding our work with SAP, Rotax, and Vinzenz Gruppe. Moved from project delivery to product thinking — shipping AI tools used by thousands.
AI-Native Practice
Formalized our AI-native methodology. The 21-Day Sprint was born from eight years of rapid delivery — a structured way to go from idea to deployed AI system in three weeks.
The Agentic Era
Fully embraced the agentic paradigm. Custom AI agents now accelerate every phase of our work — from development and testing to deployment. Our clients get autonomous systems, not just chat wrappers.
What we stand for
Engineering Over Consulting
We ship code, not slide decks. Every engagement produces working software you own — no PowerPoints, no alignment workshops, no billable brainstorming.
Human-Reviewed Always
AI writes. Humans verify. Every agent output, every code commit, every deployment gets reviewed by senior engineers before it ships.
Reliable Outputs
No hallucination, no guesswork. We build systems with validated outputs, reproducible results, and quality you can stake your business on.
Superpowers, Not Replacements
We don't replace your team. We give them tools that multiply their effectiveness by orders of magnitude.
Built on a decade of shipping
Since 2016, we've delivered AI-powered web, mobile, and platform solutions for organizations like Red Bull, the Austrian Football Association, and SAP. Ahoi AI is the evolution of that practice: focused entirely on agentic systems and AI-native software.
Ready to work with us?
