WAVECT vs WUNDERWERK

Wavect or wunderwerk. AI as a standalone capability, or AI inside a product.

wunderwerk is an AI specialist for German-speaking SMEs. They ship AI capabilities into existing operations: automation, document processing, named-entity extraction, RAG. We ship full products that happen to have AI inside. If the brief is a contained AI capability for a German-language enterprise, they are a sharp pick. If the brief is a multilingual product where AI is one of several pillars, we are.

“We thought we needed an AI agency. We actually needed a product team that knew how to ship the AI part. Different problem.”

When each is the better call

// 01

When Wavect is the better call

  • AI is one feature of a larger product you are shipping. You need a team that owns frontend, backend, infra, and the AI piece.
  • You want an English-speaking delivery partner alongside German, or your customer base extends beyond DACH.
  • You need product judgement around the AI feature, not just the AI implementation.
  • Your product also needs IoT or mobile capability alongside the AI.
// 02

When wunderwerk is the better call

  • Your need is a contained AI capability inside an existing system (RAG over your documents, automation over your spreadsheets, classification over your incoming requests).
  • You are an Austrian SME and the KMU.DIGITAL co-funding programme is a budget gate. wunderwerk is set up for that path.
  • Your team is German-speaking and your customer base is too, and a DACH-native vendor is what your stakeholders want.
  • You already have a product team and just need the AI specialism plugged into it. You do not need an end-to-end product partner.

If the bullets on the right describe your project, wunderwerk is the sharper pick. If the bullets on the left describe it, talk to us.

FAQs

FAQs

No. We are a full-stack product team that ships AI as part of products. wunderwerk is an AI specialist that drops AI capabilities into existing systems. Both are valid models. They solve different problems.
Yes, but it is not our sharpest fit. If your need is RAG over a document store or a classifier on top of an existing pipeline and nothing else, an AI specialist will usually deliver that faster and cheaper than we will.
Wavect is not a registered KMU.DIGITAL consulting partner. If KMU.DIGITAL co-funding is a hard requirement on your side, wunderwerk and similar certified partners are the right path.
We have shipped AI products end-to-end: PromptID (0 to production in 6 weeks, pilot and investor demo ready), Twinsoft AI (vibe-coded prototype rebuilt to enterprise MVP), Hyperstate AI (stateful AI music production platform). Our case studies focus on AI inside shipped products. wunderwerk’s case studies are typically AI capabilities inside enterprise operations.
Those are publicly displayed wunderwerk clients, not Wavect clients. Our client base is documented on our case-studies page and is predominantly international.
