The goal is to develop open, modular AI middleware that enables SMEs to integrate various AI services in compliance with the GDPR, host them locally, or orchestrate them via secure access points. This is no ordinary middleware; instead, customers receive scalable, understandable AI integration and an independent, transparent infrastructure. Customers retain data sovereignty and decision-making power instead of being dependent on platforms and a black box.

To jointly implement an innovative AI middleware solution that combines open-source principles, digital self-determination, and modular AI technology in a secure, scalable architecture concept, we are looking for a technical project partner (IT service provider, SME, startup) who can perform and supervise the following services.

Core idea: An AI-supported business plan generator with a knowledge database that is more than just a planning tool thanks to its integration into a project management system, automatic integration into an open source ERP system, and data archiving, which enables easy migration of the ERP system and archive so that everything can be taken along.

Middleware and database: All modules are open source, allowing for full self-hosting or cloud use. The middleware connects ERP, archive, and other modules, ensures data security, and enables flexible extensions. There is a protected area for sensitive data, and all documents can be moved between systems in a controlled manner.

Tasks

Architecture and development of modular middleware

Integration of internal and external AI solutions
Development of a central semantic knowledge database
Provision of infrastructure or hosting (optional)

Requirements

Expected qualifications

Experience with middleware and API development
Knowledge of AI integration, NLP, semantic databases
Knowledge of containerization, DevOps, infrastructure
Experience with open source technologies

An AI and IT security expert will develop the security concept and take on other areas. Comprehensive collaboration on the overall concept should be possible. To ensure that the Estonian start-up is not assigned a German permanent establishment due to its residence in Germany, it would be important for the IT partner to be based outside Germany.

Benefits

Participation in the development of an open source-based ecosystem

I have seen how great innovative AI solutions on the market, or not even on the market yet, have quickly become obsolete. In order to quickly integrate or replace new AI agent solutions, AI middleware with a knowledge database is needed, also for future challenges such as IoT, CO₂ footprint, etc.

Based on my many years of experience as a controller, finance manager, tax expert, coach, and management consultant, I can now combine all my expertise and use AI to develop practical concepts. My degree in economics with an IT background, extensive practical experience in software implementation, and numerous assignments over the past 15 years as a management consultant for large companies solving a wide variety of problems now enable me to design solutions specifically from the user's perspective and efficiently solve complex challenges.
