Bernhard Götzendorfer
01 /Bernhard Götzendorfer · AI builder based in Vienna

10 years in IT, 4 of those running my own company.

250+ AI prototypes built hands-on. I design and build with AI, and pass on what works for me and my clients.

Background

I build AI prototypes with the tools I use myself every day. Vienna as a base, selective engagements as the format. What I pass on has first proven itself with me or with clients.

Before that: Austrian Post AG (01/2024 to 02/2026, IT project management in the branch network). My own GmbH RocketWM (04/2019 to 12/2022, 400+ websites, team of four to five). International paper-trade group (2023, webshop relaunch across 11 countries, 16 websites, 8 webshops). Started in IT in 2015 at BBRZ Vienna.

Since late 2024, a daily focus on LLMs, multi-agent architectures, and rapid prototyping. 250+ AI prototypes, 10,000+ AI Engineering Sessions, 20,000+ commits across 66+ repositories. In April 2026, first place at the BitGN PAC Hackathon Vienna, solo, 79 out of 104 points, 3 hours on-site. EU AI Act Art. 4 AI-literacy training with certificate (ki-fit.at). I work in German and English and prefer engagements with clean handover, documentation, and training.

session-orchestrator

Open Source

Open-source Claude Code plugin for multi-agent session orchestration

  • Multi-agent dispatch with scope enforcement
  • Wave-based execution (Discovery → Impl → Quality → Finalize)
  • Inter-wave quality gates & session persistence

control-plane

Open Source

Open-source dashboard above the agent fleet, companion to session-orchestrator

  • Reads the .orchestrator/session.lock leases across every repo and machine
  • One board shows live which agent sessions are running and which are stale
  • Read-only, no database. MIT-licensed, a fork of Paperclip

AgenticCutter

Live

Local, agentic video cutter for the Mac · internal, in daily use

  • Transcript-driven editing: the agent proposes the full cut, I approve, ffmpeg renders. Filler words, pauses and flubs drop away – 100% local, the LLM never touches the cloud.
  • Cuts the real "Vibecode together" YouTube series: from cut to upload in one command.
  • Stage 1 of a two-stage content engine (Cutter for YouTube; FeedFoundry for Instagram). Connecting both stages is roadmap, not wired today.

Showcase

I edit these videos with AgenticCutter

The clips on my channel @AgenticBuildersAT are made with AgenticCutter: transcript in, filler words and pauses out, I approve the cut, the cutter renders and uploads, from cut to upload in one command. Built locally, shown openly, anyone can rebuild it. Below, my latest video plays automatically.

Other projects

More tools, experiments and frameworks from my workshop.

The Agent Fleet

Sven, the personal scout, feeds a daily and weekly content radar into a vault – BuilderBob, the 24/7 worker, picks it up and executes. session-orchestrator is the loop that coordinates both; control-plane is the cockpit from which I see live which agent sessions are running. A real, operating fleet of autonomous agents – on its own open-source foundation. That is Agentic Engineering in practice, not as a claim.

EventDrop

Live

AI-curated event photo galleries with QR sharing and video rendering.

Risk Mitigation for Solo Engagements

Solo engagement does not mean solo risk. Three structural safeguards apply from the start: from the contractual IP clause to the documented hand-over path.

Code in Your Repo from Day 1

You retain control over every commit. No vendor lock-in, no code escrow required.

Contractual IP clause, before the project starts.

Your Team Can Take Over Anytime

ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) and a runbook are created from sprint 1, not only at project end. So your team can keep building or take over operations whenever you choose.

Hand-off-First, not Hand-off-Last.

A Defined Path if I Am Unavailable

If I become unavailable at short notice, an emergency runbook with a defined escalation and hand-over path takes effect: clear contacts, open items and next steps are documented in writing.

Documented in writing, not in one person's head.

AI Factory Austria

Since 05/2026 also active as Venture Builder at AI Factory Austria. AI Factory Austria is an innovation center: signals become hypotheses, hypotheses become prototypes, prototypes become ventures. This role runs in parallel to my solo work and has no impact on you: my solo practice stays primary, and my own projects and client mandates are handled to the same quality and security standards as before.

Availability: selective AI engagements. I discuss requests personally.
