AI that takes root.

Welcome to the Software Garden
Software and process development, with AI from the roots up.

Everyone's talking about AI. But where should it actually grow?

Every week a new model, a new agent, a new promise. Your company has a few AI licenses, a few experiments – and lots of open questions: Where does AI really pay off? What about data protection? And who makes sure the experiment turns into a result?

Three beds, one garden.

Software development is our test bed: we work with AI there every day and know what bears fruit – and what's just hype. We plant that experience wherever you need it. Because in the end, processes are your company's software.

We build

Software with AI

“I need software.”

We build your software – much faster with AI, but just as carefully. Clean, maintainable and well looked after afterwards.

  • Custom development with an AI-assisted SDLC: coding agents, automated tests, code reviews
  • Clean architecture, CI/CD and documentation from day one
  • Handover to your team or ongoing development & maintenance
  • Backed by a trusted team from my network when needed

We set up

AI in your dev team

“Our team should really develop with AI.”

Handing out a few licenses isn't an AI workflow yet. Analysis, setup, support and licenses – all from a single source.

  • SDLC assessment: where does your development process stand, where does AI help most?
  • Selection & setup of AI tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, coding agents) incl. guardrails for quality, security and data protection
  • Toolchain integration: AI wired cleanly into repo, CI/CD, tickets & co.
  • Toolchain licenses directly through us – no procurement maze
  • Training, ongoing operation & support

We reshape

AI in your workflows

“My team is drowning in routine work.”

We find the workflows where AI really gives you time back, put it in place – and keep making sure everything runs smoothly afterwards.

  • Process analysis: find the 2–3 workflows with the biggest leverage
  • Delivery with AI assistants, automation and agents – integrated into your existing tools
  • GDPR & EU AI Act covered, EU-hosted models on request
  • Training for your team
  • Aftercare & support – we stay on it as things keep growing

You get the consulting personally from me. For delivery and ongoing operation, I bring in a trusted team whenever needed.

How we work.

Humour

IT doesn't have to be dry – and AI certainly doesn't. We water the topic with a pinch of garden humour – tasteful, relaxed and always on eye level.

Grounded

We're not based just anywhere, but in Salzburg. That means we know our way around EU regulations like GDPR and the AI Act and sit in the same boat as you on data protection.

Transparent

We advise you honestly – even when the answer is "better no AI here". No gatekeeping, just shared knowledge and honest exchange.

Who's doing the gardening.

Profile of Daniel Ultsch, owner of the Software Garden

Hi, I'm Daniel – the person behind the Software Garden. I'm a software developer and work with AI every day. What I learn there, I bring into your software, your dev team and your business processes – so that AI genuinely helps instead of just looking like progress. You do the consulting directly with me; for delivery and operation I bring in trusted support from my network whenever needed.

Tell me where things should grow.

Software, dev team or business process – no strings attached. A first conversation costs nothing but a little time.

Let AI take root with you. 🌱
