Thynkai

What Thynkai does

Thynkai, operating under the legal entity dryven GmbH and headquartered at Europaplatz 7 in St. Pölten, Austria, is a subscription-based SaaS platform that delivers a roster of specialized AI-powered 'digital employees' (digitale Mitarbeitende) to small and medium-sized businesses and solo entrepreneurs in the DACH region. The company, founded in 2024 and self-described as 'the first staffing agency for digital employees in Austria,' ships pre-built AI personas including Sven (social media manager), Ivana (accounting/invoice OCR assistant), Penelope (image producer), Stefan (safety data sheet specialist), Bernhard (official decision evaluator), and Oliver (allrounder), with Nina, Viola, Theo and Paula listed as 'coming soon.' Digital employees coordinate through shared workspace tools — an editorial calendar (Redaktionsplan), news overview, media gallery, invoice table and document inbox — and require human-in-the-loop approval before outputs are published or sent.

Underlying technology combines third-party large language models (Gemini via Google Cloud Vertex AI, Claude via Anthropic) routed through an in-house LiteLLM layer, with automation platforms (n8n, Make), computer-vision/OCR for document extraction, and API integrations into M365, ERP and CRM systems. The platform runs entirely on EU-hosted infrastructure (Lovable for hosting, Supabase on Google Cloud EU for data, Sentry EU for error monitoring, Stripe for payments) under explicit GDPR compliance with an Article 28 AVV (data processing agreement) available to customers and a stated guarantee that customer data is not used to train AI models.

The business model is a credit-based monthly subscription starting at €9 (net of Austrian VAT) for 90 credits per month, with usage-based top-up credit packs, a 30-day money-back guarantee, Stripe payment processing, and no per-seat fees for additional digital employees. Distribution is exclusively digital self-serve through app.thynkai.at and the marketing site thynkai.at, with personalized demos bookable via Microsoft Bookings; no channel partners, resellers or enterprise sales motion are disclosed. The company is managed by Anna Kofler (also Head of Product, GenAI lecturer) and Jörg Summer (Head of Strategy), with a team of approximately 10 members and earned-media coverage across Austrian outlets including KURIER, brutkasten, die Unternehmerin, leadersnet and NÖN.

Core offering

thynkAI provides a subscription-based SaaS platform (app.thynkai.at) that gives Austrian small businesses access to a roster of specialized AI-powered "digital employees" — each with a fixed role such as social media management (Sven), image production (Penelope), invoice accounting (Ivana), safety data sheet processing (Stefan), official decision evaluation (Bernhard), and general-purpose assistance (Oliver). Customers activate the digital employees they need, brief them through shared collaborative workspaces, and consume monthly credits for tasks completed under a human-in-the-loop approval model, all hosted in the EU under GDPR-compliant data processing.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Google Cloud Platform (Google Ireland Limited)coreTechnology or IntegrationthynkAI uses Google Vertex AI for providing certain digital employees. Processing occurs based on customer contract with Google and Data Processing Addendum (DPA). Google processes customer data solely for conducting model requests. Data processing generally within EU-selected region ('EU Residency'). Google is certified under EU Standard Contractual Clauses and EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Gemini models are used.
• Lovable GmbH (EU Region)coreTechnology or IntegrationthynkAI operates its platform entirely in Lovable's EU data centers. Lovable acts as processor under Art. 28 GDPR, providing hosting, infrastructure, database access, and API communication. Lovable commits to GDPR compliance, use of European data regions only, and disclosure of its Sub-Processor list.
• Supabase, Inc. (EU Region via Google Cloud)coreTechnology or IntegrationthynkAI operates a Supabase instance in the EU region of Google Cloud. Supabase stores user and license management data, system prompts (technically necessary), and API configurations. Supabase uses customer data for no own purposes and processes exclusively within European regions per DPA, TOMs and SCCs.
• Stripe Payments Europe Ltd.coreTechnology or IntegrationStripe is used as processor for payment data. For certain legally required checks (e.g., KYC, risk assessment), Stripe is simultaneously its own controller. Stripe stores and processes personal data exclusively per Stripe DPA, Service Terms and EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Lindy AI: Lindy offers a subscription-based roster of AI "assistants" that automate workflows (sales, email, ops) for SMBs via a self-serve web app. Closest direct analog to thynkAI's "digital Mitarbeitende" staffing model and €-style entry pricing.
• Artisan (Artisan AI): Artisan positions named AI "employees" (Ava, Aaron) as replacements for outbound and marketing roles with a SaaS subscription. Directly comparable framing of AI staff leasing and PLG onboarding to thynkAI.
• 11x.ai: 11x.ai sells always-on AI digital workers (e.g., Alice the SDR) on a subscription model targeting SMB/mid-market functions. Direct competitor in the "AI digital employee as a service" category that thynkAI targets in Austria.
• Relevance AI: Relevance AI is a platform for building and deploying AI agents/workers on business data, sold to SMB and enterprise teams. Comparable as a multi-agent AI workforce platform with shared tooling, similar to thynkAI's Redaktionsplan and Digital-Inbox shared workspaces.

Broad incumbents

• Zapier: Zapier is the incumbent no-code automation platform that thynkAI itself builds on (alongside n8n/Make) to access M365/ERP/CRM via API. Overlaps with thynkAI's process automation and integrations layer.
• Make: Make (formerly Integromat) is a visual workflow automation platform named explicitly in thynkAI's tech stack. Comparable as the underlying automation layer enabling thynkAI's digital employees to orchestrate APIs.
• Jasper AI: Jasper is an established AI content/marketing platform with subscriptions for SMB marketing teams. Closely comparable to thynkAI's Sven and Penelope social-media personas, but US-hosted and broader in market.

Emerging players

• Manus AI: Manus is an emerging general-purpose AI agent platform that autonomously completes multi-step tasks across tools. Comparable to Oliver and the multi-agent orchestration in thynkAI, but general-purpose rather than SMB-verticalized.
• Cognosys: Cognosys provides AI agents that break down business workflows into sub-tasks and execute them autonomously. Comparable in being a credit-based agent SaaS, though positioned for productivity users rather than EU SMB verticals.
• Levity: Levity offers no-code AI workflow automation (classification, extraction, email routing) for operations teams. Adjacent to Ivana/Stefan/Bernhard document processing personas, but with a horizontal rather than staffed-agency framing.
