Building AI apps · Vienna, Austria
I'll show you how I work.
I'm Bernhard Götzendorfer, a software developer in Vienna with more than ten years in IT. Three of my products are live, one of them on the Mac App Store. I won the BitGN Hackathon solo, in three hours on site.

What I build
Not a marketing promise, but the method I use every day on real products that are live now. Not the fastest prototype, but one that holds up.

The method loop
The method
AI tools are very good at making something look like it works. They're much worse at telling you what will fall apart in production. Verification is the step most people skip. That's exactly the difference between a demo and an app you can trust.
Why trust this
I don't sell anything here that I don't use myself every day.
10+ years in IT, now deeply focused on AI. AI literacy under EU AI Act Article 4 (ki-fit.at). More than 500 prototypes and my own agentic tools in daily use.
A security analysis of quickly built apps shows how large the gap is: many critical vulnerabilities. Source: escape.tech(opens in new tab)
A reusable method matters more than a fast demo.
