Most companies that buy AI consulting get exactly what they paid for, a strategy. Well argued, nicely formatted, presented to the board. Eighteen months later, nothing runs. Somewhere between the steering committee and the backlog, the strategy became a PDF, and the people doing the actual work never noticed anything change.
AI consulting in Vienna that ends in running software
Specialty Tokens is a forward-deployed AI engineering firm based in Vienna, working across DACH, Europe, the UK, and the US. Our consulting is not a separate practice with a separate team, it is the front end of a build, done by the engineers who will ship it. That single fact changes what the advice looks like: nobody recommends what they are not prepared to deliver.
An engagement starts with diagnosis on your real systems, not a maturity workshop. We look at where the hours actually go, in your ERP, CRM, and accounting stack, whether that is Navision, weclapp, Exact, or Salesforce, and identify the processes where AI can carry real weight today. Just as important, we name the ones where it can't yet. An honest "not this, not now" early is worth more than an ambitious roadmap that dies in procurement.
Then we ship. One load-bearing process goes into production first, typically in weeks, with the pattern we use everywhere: AI reads freely, writes go behind a human approval gate. From that point the strategy is no longer a hypothesis. It has a running example, real usage, and internal champions, which is what the second and third processes are built on.
Everything ends in handover. Your team learns to run and extend what we built; the connectors and agents belong to you. No per-seat fees, no vendor lock-in, no consulting retainer disguised as maintenance.
We have run this arc with Nyra Health, a digital-therapy healthtech company, and with Speedinvest, the pan-European VC, different industries, same shape: sharp diagnosis, one shipped process, then scale.
If you want a low-stakes way to test our thinking, start with the free AI self-assessment. It is a readiness check with a written readout, a small, concrete sample of what our consulting sounds like when it is aimed at your business. When one process should become a company-wide way of working, that is a transformation, and we do those too, embedded, end to end.
