FAQ

Frequently asked questions about KIKOM

Which companies is KIKOM the right partner for?

KIKOM works with mid-market companies, agencies and corporations across the European Union. We are a particularly good fit for companies that do not see AI as an end in itself but want to solve concrete business problems – whether process automation, customer communication or knowledge management. Industry focuses are tourism & hospitality, industry, financial services and knowledge-intensive service providers.

What does a typical engagement look like?

Every project starts with a free initial call in which we understand your situation. If there is interest, an impulse workshop follows in which we identify and prioritize use cases together. We then develop a pilot (in a short time) which we scale after successful validation. At every stage you have full transparency over effort, cost and expected ROI.

What sets KIKOM apart from other AI consultancies?

At KIKOM you get strategy and implementation from a single source. We do not deliver PowerPoint presentations, but working solutions. Through the combination of commercial know-how (MBA), legal understanding (LL.M.) and technical implementation skills, we can accompany AI projects end-to-end – from the idea to productive use.

How are data protection and compliance ensured?

Data protection is not an afterthought for us but integrated from the start. We rely on EU hosting, encrypted data transmission and data minimization. For sensitive data, on-premise solutions are possible. The founder holds an LL.M. in Digital Business & Tech Law – the AI Act, GDPR and industry-specific requirements are considered already in the concept phase.

What does working with KIKOM cost?

The first call is free. The AI Impulse Workshop (3 h, up to 8 people) starts at € 1,710. The GEO Audit starts at € 735. Follow-up projects and ongoing strategy support are quoted individually on request. We always calculate transparently: effort, running costs and expected ROI. All rates are net of VAT (EU B2B reverse charge applies on a valid VAT-ID).

Does KIKOM also work remotely or only on-site?

Both are possible. We are happy to run workshops and kick-off meetings on-site – it fosters personal exchange. The actual implementation often happens remotely, which speeds up the work and saves costs. Based in Hall in Tirol, Austria, we are well placed for on-site appointments across Europe.

How quickly can an AI project start?

After the initial call we can usually start a workshop within a few days. A first pilot is ready in a short time. For urgent projects, faster timelines are also possible – just talk to us.
