What thinkers.ai does

thinkers.ai operates an AI-powered market intelligence platform that processes millions of text-based sources—websites, public budgets, business reports, and news—to deliver structured insights on construction projects, investment plans, competitive moves, and B2B account changes. The core technical differentiator is a model-agnostic architecture combining semantic analysis, automated context enrichment, and multi-stage data quality control that the company claims holds AI hallucination rates below 2%. Information outputs are cited to source documents with automated reasoning. The platform exposes 200+ modular use cases across sales, innovation, strategy, and marketing workflows, including the recently launched AI Use Cases Map for tracking AI applications globally.

The company monetizes through a hybrid usage-based model priced at €0.10–€3.00 per delivered result, supplemented by tele-services (€25–€160 per task) for telemarketing and expert outreach, plus a partner referral program paying 15–25% lifetime kickbacks. A €300 minimum starting credit and 14-day money-back guarantee support a self-serve product-led growth motion, while an enterprise tier adds account management and additional language support. Distribution spans three channels: self-serve web, direct enterprise sales, and a partner ecosystem that includes DIGITALL, ONTEC AI, and vesecon.

thinkers GmbH is registered in Vienna, Austria with an R&D presence in Leipzig, Germany, operates with 1–10 employees, and is led by managing directors Dr. Isabell Claus-Polster and Maxim Derhachov. The firm holds early validation from SpinLab / HHL Accelerator, has received Austrian government innovation recognition (Staatspreis Europa), and serves a customer base spanning Deutsche Telekom, Fraunhofer, Wirtschaftskammer Österreich, Internorm, and DIGITALL across construction, IT, telecommunications, research, and public sector verticals on all continents. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external venture capital.
