AI Consultant in Austria: Strategy meets Implementation

Looking for an AI consultant in Austria? r.digital combines AI strategy consulting with hands-on implementation — based in Graz, available for all of Austria and beyond. No PowerPoint-only consulting. We implement what we recommend, train your team, and ensure EU AI Act compliance. Practical AI solutions that deliver measurable results.

Why you need an AI consultant

Artificial intelligence is transforming every industry — from manufacturing to professional services, from retail to healthcare. Austrian companies face a dual challenge: leveraging AI for competitive advantage while navigating the regulatory landscape of the EU AI Act.

Since February 2025, Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires every company using AI systems to demonstrate adequate AI competency among its staff. This applies to every business using ChatGPT, Copilot, or any other AI tool — and the penalties for non-compliance are substantial: up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover.

An experienced AI consultant helps you navigate this complexity. Not with theoretical frameworks and slide decks, but with practical strategies, hands-on implementation, and measurable outcomes. That is exactly what r.digital delivers — from Graz, for companies across Austria and the DACH region.
