Short answer
Rubra Digital delivers LLM and RAG consulting to organisations in Austria, working across Vienna, Graz, Linz and remotely. Engagements are designed around EU AI Act, GDPR / DSG, NIS2. EU regions in Vienna or Frankfurt.
What is different about delivering in Austria
Austrian procurement resembles Germany’s: thorough documentation, works council involvement for anything touching employees, and a strong preference for EU-domiciled suppliers. Vienna serves as the regional headquarters for a lot of Central and Eastern European operations, so an Austrian engagement often has to account for eight or nine additional country subsidiaries.
How that changes my build
I design for multi-country rollout from the start when the Vienna entity is a regional hub, since retrofitting per-country data segregation is expensive.
Frameworks I design against
- EU AI Act
- GDPR / DSG
- NIS2
- FMA guidance
Data residency
EU regions in Vienna or Frankfurt.
Where I work on site

AI consulting in Austria: FAQ
Do you work with clients in Austria?
Yes. I deliver remotely across CET/CEST with on-site workshops in Vienna, Graz, Linz for discovery, architecture review and handover, which are the points where being in the room helps. My working language is English, and I work with source material in German.
Which regulations shape AI projects in Austria?
The frameworks that most often change how I design a system here are EU AI Act, GDPR / DSG, NIS2, FMA guidance. The primary data protection regulator is Datenschutzbehörde (DSB). I design for multi-country rollout from the start when the Vienna entity is a regional hub, since retrofitting per-country data segregation is expensive.
Can our data stay in Austria?
EU regions in Vienna or Frankfurt. Where a client needs inference to stay inside the jurisdiction, that gets designed in from the start rather than retrofitted, including fully on-premise deployment with open-weight models where no external inference is permitted.
What does an AI consulting engagement cost in Austria?
Discovery engagements start at €22,000 and production builds typically run from €55,000 to €180,000 depending on scope. I invoice in EUR and quote fixed price for defined scopes, with the assumptions written down before you commit.
