MING Labs

What MING Labs does

MING Labs is a Munich-headquartered, bootstrapped enterprise AI agency that has operated since 2011 under the same three founders (Matthias Roebel, Sebastian Mueller, Marc Seefelder) and delivers two integrated service pillars to large European enterprises: Hybrid Organisation (restructuring an enterprise's operating model around named AI agents as colleagues alongside humans, using the proprietary ABC Framework for role decomposition and a Comprehension Obligation governance clause) and Agent Experience (making enterprise brands discoverable, trustworthy, and transactable to AI agents through schema, structured data, and machine-callable endpoints for pricing, quoting, and booking).

The technology stack combines client-facing applied AI products — AI Product Finders (e.g., MANN+HUMMEL 3,000-SKU conversational selector), AI Companions (session-persistent assistants for Bosch and Nui), and AI Sales Enablement (buyer-context aggregation for Voith) — with two in-house venture products: Hyperize (an Agent Surface Engine that benchmarks enterprise brand visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini and powers the free DAX 40 Agent Readiness Index) and a Knowledge Graph that grounds LLMs in structured enterprise truth (pricelists, test reports, expert rules). An Agent Formation Studio (browser-based wizard) productises MING Labs' own internal process for designing and deploying named agents. Integration reach includes CRM, email, messaging, analytics, product configurators, pricing engines, quote systems, and booking flows.

Commercially, MING Labs sells on a tiered professional-services pricing model — €9,500 half-day Hybrid Organisation workshop (entry point), €20–25K workshop-plus-first-agent build, and quote-based full transformation programmes — with a free Agent Readiness Score tool as a freemium lead-generation funnel. GTM is founder-led, with personal 24-hour inbound response and no BDR or sales team, supported by an Insights content engine. Logistics span offices in Munich (HQ), Berlin, Shanghai, Suzhou, Singapore, and New York City, with marquee enterprise customers including Bosch, Siemens, MANN+HUMMEL, Voith, Henkel, ZEISS, EnBW, TÜV SÜD, Wacker Chemie, Stöckli, Nui, Oikos Group, Johnson & Johnson, INSEAD, UOB, and IMI, and a self-reported 50+ enterprise client base and €50M+ in cumulative delivered contract value over fifteen years.

Core offering

MING Labs is a boutique enterprise AI agency that designs, deploys, and operationalises AI agents for large enterprises. Its two core service pillars are Hybrid Organisation (redesigning internal operations around human-agent teams) and Agent Experience (making enterprise brands discoverable and actionable by external AI agents). Revenue comes from tiered professional-services engagements — workshops, agent build-and-deploy projects, and full transformation programmes — supplemented by two internal venture products (Hyperize, Knowledge Graph) and proprietary frameworks.

Product overview

MING Labs operates as a European enterprise AI agency with two core service pillars — Hybrid Organisation (internal AI agents as colleagues) and Agent Experience (external brand visibility to AI agents) — supported by proprietary frameworks (ABC Framework, Comprehension Obligation) and two venture products (Hyperize, Knowledge Graph). The product portfolio includes AI-native enterprise tools: AI Product Finders (conversational product recommendation for industrial catalogs), AI Companions (session-persistent contextual assistants), and AI Sales Enablement (pre-call buyer intelligence). Service offerings span workshops (€9,500 half-day entry point), Workshop + First Agent engagements (€20-25K), and full Hybrid Org Programmes. The company runs its own hybrid organisation as proof-of-concept, with agents (Lola, Cody, Martin, etc.) operating in production since January 2026 alongside three human founders. Agent Formation Studio provides a browser-based environment for agent design and deployment. Hyperize (Agent Surface Engine) powers both external client work and MING Labs' own Insights surface, with the DAX 40 Agent Readiness Index serving as industry benchmark.

Products and services

• Hybrid Organisation Methodology and implementation service for deploying AI agents as autonomous team members alongside humans. Agents receive named roles, defined remits, and measurable outcomes. Built on the ABC Framework (A: judgment/relationships, B: structured expert work, C: routine operations) and Comprehension Obligation. For enterprise leaders responsible for operations, digital transformation, and AI adoption.
• Agent Experience Service opening three doors for brands: Discover (agents find you in AI answers), Trust (verified claims and structured data), and Act (machine-callable endpoints). Includes Agent Readiness Score diagnostic and Agent Surface architecture. For CMOs, heads of digital, and chief digital officers at enterprise brands.
• AI Product Finders Conversational AI product finder that guides users through complex selection or configuration requirements to the optimal product recommendation from large catalogs. Deployed at MANN+HUMMEL (3,000 SKUs), Stöckli (ski selection), and Oikos Group (CASAI prefab home advisor). Now built to be agent-accessible as well as human-facing.
• AI Companions Session-persistent AI companion that maintains context across interactions, remembers where users left off, and builds cumulative understanding over time. Deployed at Bosch (technical documentation companion) and Nui (window-system purchase decisions).
• AI Sales Enablement AI-powered sales preparation tool that aggregates buyer journey data (touchpoints, documents downloaded, questions asked) into pre-call briefings with context and talking points. Deployed at Voith. When the buyer is an agent, the same context becomes the API response.
• Hyperize Agent Surface Engine venture making brands visible and usable by AI agents. Platform tracks brand visibility across major AI systems for real purchase queries. Includes Agent Readiness Score, scanning fleet, DAX 40 Index, and Knowledge Graph infrastructure. For enterprise brand and digital teams.

• Agent Formation Studio Browser-based environment for assembling, configuring, and managing AI agents. Includes step-by-step wizard (Identity, Agent context, JD, Foundations, Schedule, Review, Deploy), Skill Builder, Agent Analyzer, JD Analyzer modules, and live agent management dashboard. Offered to clients as part of the Hybrid Organisation engagement.
• Agent Readiness Score Free diagnostic tool scoring brand performance when AI agents search for products or services. Evaluates across 40+ criteria covering Discoverability, Completability, Actionability, and Evidence. Delivers a free report in 48 hours; used for prospecting and baseline assessment before full Agent Experience engagement.
