Your people are already using AI. The only question is: with what?

Usually a chat window in someone else's cloud: convenient, but with no control over where the data goes or what comes back. Habicht puts the same benefit under your control: recurring tasks as fixed workflows your team builds itself, data on your own servers or in the EU, every answer with a source.

Habicht at a glance: from shadow AI to verified workflows (product film in German, no sound). Created with AI assistance; the product views show Habicht.

What sets Habicht apart

  • Audited AI workflows for business teams

    Fixed steps, review and approval. Your team builds the workflows itself, without code.

  • On-premise for mid-sized companies too

    Operation in your own house, not only at enterprise scale.

  • Hosting in Austria

    No US hyperscalers. Open-weight models, model choice by data sensitivity.

  • Test free for 30 days

    Workflows, knowledge base and compliance included. Prices and calculator on the pricing page.

A chat window is not a process.

Since 2023 we keep hearing the same two sentences from our customers: “Are we even allowed to do this under data-protection law?” and “How do we get the AI to work reliably?” An open chat window answers neither. The results are hard to trace and impossible to audit, and the data usually ends up in a US cloud. Fine for occasional experimenting. Not for operational use.

One platform for both: data sovereignty and dependable results.

01

Reliable workflows instead of improvisation.

Your business team assembles recurring AI workflows itself: with building blocks, without a line of code. Fixed steps, checks and approvals instead of an open chat.

02

Your data stays where you want it.

On-premise, hybrid or in the EU cloud. Local AI models, no silent data outflow, no training on your data. Sovereignty you can verify.

03

Compliance is part of the product, not an afterthought.

Every use case is automatically classified under the EU AI Act; data protection and audit evidence run along. Documentation for auditors at the push of a button.

What Habicht does differently

AI chat platforms are strong at open conversation. Habicht is built for recurring work whose result someone reviews before it is used. The differences at a glance:

From prompt to process. Without developers.

One builder, many places to use it.

What your team builds in Habicht doesn't stay in a test window. Every assistant and every workflow can be used where the work happens: on your website, in the intranet, in existing systems.

Assistants & apps with a visual builder

Business users create their own assistants and mini-apps in the visual editor: forms, review steps, approvals, notifications. An AI co-author suggests the structure. Approved apps land in an internal catalogue the whole company uses.

Chat endpoints for website & intranet

Every assistant can be embedded as a chat: as a widget on your website, in the intranet or a customer portal. With your content as the knowledge base, source references in every answer and the access rights you define.

Connections to your systems

Via custom tools, Habicht accesses your systems in a targeted way: query databases, create reports, create records in ERP or CRM, update tickets. You decide per assistant which tools it may use.

Open interfaces

Habicht speaks the standards your IT expects: an OpenAI-compatible API for your own applications, MCP for connecting external tools, SharePoint/OneDrive and web sources for the knowledge base. No vendor lock-in.

Compliance

AI that thinks about the AI Act from day one.

Habicht automatically classifies every AI use case by EU AI Act risk class and produces an exportable compliance documentation, aligned to the AI Act, GDPR, NIS2 and CRA. You document your due diligence as you go instead of piecing evidence together after the fact.

  • Automatic risk classificationEvery app and AI endpoint is classified transparently, with traceable reasoning.
  • Audit evidence at the push of a buttonOne compliance documentation per version, ready for internal review and auditors.
  • Complete audit loggingEvery AI action is traceable, retained for 7 years; every result carries a transparency marker.
  • Data-subject rights without a ticket queueAccess, export and deletion under the GDPR are handled by your users directly in the application.
Annex VII fields for technical documentation, an SBOM snapshot per release, transactional deletion cascades across all data stores, breach notification within 72h, and a supply chain designed for NIS2/CRA with signed container images.

Answers from your data, not out of thin air.

Habicht works with your own documents and shows, for every answer, what it relates to, down to the right page in the PDF. Upload files, connect websites and SharePoint/OneDrive, and control fine-grained which employee has access to which data.

The same knowledge base also feeds your embedded chats: one source, the same sourced answers everywhere.

Every answer with its source, down to the page in the PDF.

Built for organisations that want to use AI responsibly.

For SMEs that want to use AI without building their own IT department. For companies that want a controlled rollout instead of shadow AI in every department. For regulated professions such as law firms, tax advisory and medicine, where confidentiality is an obligation. And for public administration, which has to work without the US cloud and needs proof.

Why we are building Habicht.

“We have been building products and solutions for national and international companies for ten years. We followed machine learning and the first language models from the start, and in 2023 we launched Croppy, an AI of our own. That taught us one thing: an impressive demo is built quickly. A process a company relies on is something else. Habicht is our answer. No US cloud, no black box, but a platform we operate ourselves and whose answers can be verified.”

The right moment is now.

Most obligations under the EU AI Act have applied since 2 August 2026. Organisations need verifiable AI compliance, not declarations of intent. At the same time, according to Bitkom, 78% of companies want less dependence on US cloud providers, and public bodies are encouraged to prefer open, European solutions. Habicht is built for exactly this environment.
