Three founders. Three disciplines.
We founded Soneo AI in Vienna in 2025 — with backgrounds in AI, mechanical engineering and entrepreneurship. Mid-size industrial companies want to use AI but rarely find solutions built for their documents, their standards and their data protection. KoAssist is our first product.
Built for teams that work with standards and drawings.
In conversations with engineering teams across the DACH region, we kept seeing the same pattern: the knowledge is there, but scattered — in PDFs, in people's heads, in folder structures only one person understands. New hires need months to learn where anything is; experienced engineers search instead of design. That's the problem we set out to solve — verifiably, with file and page reference.
Who's behind it.
Andreas Schaubmaier
MSc Artificial Intelligence (JKU Linz), BSc Mechatronics. Previously Data Science at Danube Dynamics, automation at Bosch. Responsible for strategy, product development and AI project delivery.
Lukas Ebermann
FH Campus Wien, Computer Science with focus on AI, Data Science and IT Security. Previously AI Engineer at ESG-Chain. Responsible for technical architecture, RAG systems and secure deployments.
Yanik Yeganehfar
MSc Impact Entrepreneurship (Nova School of Business), BSc International Business (WU Wien). Previously Executive Assistant to CEO at Journi. Responsible for business development, sales and partnerships.
Started broad. Focused on mechanical engineering.
Soneo AI started as an AI agency: RAG systems, process automation and LLM integration for companies across industries. Over ten-plus projects, we learned where AI holds up in practice and where it doesn't.
One pattern stood out: in mechanical engineering and design, the most valuable knowledge sits in standards, drawings and internal specifications — and that is exactly where it is hardest to reach. So we committed: KoAssist is built for this one domain, not for as many as possible.
Let's talk.
