01 · About

A young Austrian AI company built for implementation.

synapsyx GmbH is a Vienna-based AI company working across development, strategy, and education. We work mainly with education, research, social-sector, and publicly funded organizations across Austria and the DACH region.

2025 Founded · Vienna, AT

We build custom AI systems for workflows where generic tools fall short: internal knowledge work, document-heavy processes, education platforms, research and innovation projects, and operational decision support.

Our work combines hands-on AI experimentation, software development, context engineering, structured evaluation, and project delivery. We combine strategy, implementation, and education — from identifying suitable use cases to building systems, evaluating them, supporting adoption, and gradually turning proven components into reusable products.

Registered Austrian GmbH, based in Vienna.

Focus
Applied AI

Custom systems, agents, internal tools, platforms, and automation workflows.

Status
Live MVP

ePATH is deployed as an AI counseling MVP in an education-platform context.

Operations
Internal tooling

Structured AI workflows for research, documentation, project development, and quality review.

01 / Applied

Built around real workflows.

We build around real workflows, not generic AI demos. The goal is practical usefulness, reviewability, and fit with existing organizational processes.

02 / Human-reviewable

Review points kept explicit.

Our systems are designed with explicit human review points, structured outputs, source awareness, and clear responsibility.

03 / Implementation-focused

Strategy through to adoption.

We combine strategy, technical prototyping, software development, evaluation, and adoption support in one small team.

02 · Capabilities

What we do.

We work where AI has to fit into real processes, sensitive information flows, and practical implementation constraints — across development, strategy, and education.

03 Pillars

01 / Develop

AI solution development

Custom AI tools, platforms, pipelines, internal applications, agents, and workflow automation for organizations that need more than an off-the-shelf chatbot.

  • Custom AI applications and platforms
  • AI agents and workflow automation
  • Internal tools and dashboards
  • API and platform integrations
  • Prototype-to-implementation development

02 / Implement

AI strategy and implementation

We help teams identify where AI is useful and feasible, then deliver it — including R&D and funded innovation projects, with evaluation built in.

  • AI readiness and use-case selection
  • Feasibility and risk mapping
  • Implementation roadmaps
  • R&D and technical work packages
  • Evaluation, quality control, and funded-project support

03 / Educate

AI literacy and education

We build AI capability inside teams and institutions through hands-on, practical formats grounded in real implementation experience.

  • AI-literacy workshops and guest teaching
  • Prompt- and context-engineering training
  • AI-supported project-management formats
  • Adoption and enablement support

03 · Our work

Selected systems and work.

Many AI projects involve sensitive workflows, data, or strategic plans, so we show selected public examples, anonymized project snapshots, and internal systems we use ourselves. More detail is available where appropriate.

ePATH

AI-supported career orientation and entrepreneurship reflection

ePATH is an AI-supported tool for career orientation and entrepreneurship reflection. It combines structured self-assessment logic with an AI counselor experience to help students explore career direction. Deployed via LTI 1.3 in MoodleCloud within an Erasmus+ education context, ePATH supports reflection and orientation — it does not make admissions, employment, or other high-stakes decisions.

  • Hybrid design combining skippable modular questionnaires with open-ended AI counselor dialogue
  • Questionnaire and AI recommendations benchmarked against O*NET occupational data during development
  • Embedded directly into university LMS environments via LTI 1.3
Internal tool · operational workflow

Internal AI workflows for project development

We use structured AI workflows internally to support research, project development, documentation, quality review, and implementation planning. These systems help us structure complex information, compare assumptions, prepare implementation plans, and keep human review explicit.

  • Research and source organization
  • Requirements and work-package structuring
  • Documentation support
  • Review and quality-control steps
  • Human responsibility kept explicit
Internal R&D · under development

R&D discovery and feasibility workflows

Internal workflows for exploring problem spaces, comparing solution paths, generating technical hypotheses, and identifying feasible AI project concepts.

  • Problem-space exploration
  • Solution-path comparison
  • Technical hypothesis generation
  • Feasibility and implementation assessment
  • Early-stage R&D structuring
Internal tooling · project capability

Agentic research and drafting workflows

Controlled agent workflows for repetitive research, classification, drafting, comparison, and information-management tasks — designed with review points rather than blind automation.

  • Multi-step research pipelines
  • Classification and comparison workflows
  • Structured drafting support
  • Reviewable intermediate outputs
  • Human-in-the-loop control
Prototype · capability demo

Knowledge and document workflow prototypes

Prototype workflows combining document processing, retrieval, structured outputs, and human review for domain-specific decision support.

  • Document processing
  • Retrieval and structured context
  • Domain-specific output formats
  • Review and correction loops
  • Decision-support interfaces

04 · Approach

Fast experimentation, disciplined implementation.

AI projects move quickly, but serious implementation still needs structure. We work in short cycles that make assumptions visible, test technical feasibility early, and keep review points explicit. We keep people in control of meaningful decisions, design for privacy and accessibility, and avoid training proprietary models.

05 Steps
  1. Step 01

    Understand

    We map the workflow, users, constraints, available data, risks, and success criteria before choosing the technical path.

  2. Step 02

    Prototype

    We build quickly to test assumptions, validate technical feasibility, and make the solution tangible.

  3. Step 03

    Implement

    We develop pipelines, agents, interfaces, integrations, and internal tools that fit the real workflow.

  4. Step 04

    Evaluate

    We test quality, reliability, usability, source handling, and business relevance before scaling the system.

  5. Step 05

    Scale

    We improve, document, transfer knowledge, and support adoption so the system can become part of everyday work.

05 · Founders

Founder-led and implementation-focused.
