These are offered as public events or private institutional engagements for universities, cultural institutions, and businesses. Sessions cover Context Engineering, AI Literacy, and Agentic Engineering.
2. Professional Services – AI Consulting & Co-Intelligence: On-demand consulting engagements for institutional AI strategy, promptotyping, and agentic system design. Includes Promptotyping as a bespoke methodology: the company either trains clients to use the approach or delivers the promptotyping work directly as a consulting engagement.
3. Research Software Development & Digital Editions: Custom development of web interfaces, dashboards, and digital scholarly editions for research projects. Services include data modelling, Linked Open Data integration, and long-term archiving in the GAMS OAIS-compliant repository (Universität Graz). DHCraft also offers a paid conversion service for TEI data into the MHDBDB schema.
4. Research Project Partnerships: DHCraft acts as a consortium partner in grant-funded research projects (Förderprojekte), providing the digital component and supporting proposal development. This is both a revenue stream and a strategic GTM mechanism for building academic credibility and network.
5. Patreon Membership: A curated membership on Patreon providing access to current AI developments, practical promptotyping templates, and curated AI content. Some content is free, with premium content for paying members. This represents a recurring revenue stream from individual supporters and practitioners.
