What we said about each
Our take on Dr. Mark Wernsdorfer
AMPEL is the engagement that carries this listing: an AI clinical decision support system for laboratory diagnostics, deployed across more than 1,500 beds at University Hospital Leipzig. Deployment scale is the rarest figure in this register, and it is stated plainly. DoppelCheck, built for Media Lab Bayern, runs machine learning locally in the browser to flag disinformation in real time and was a finalist for an international journalism innovation award in 2024.

A decade of conversational AI, and the client list reads like the German enterprise directory: Telekom, VW Group, Deutsche Bahn, BVG, Merck, Gothaer, sipgate. Two engagements are published in real depth. The sipgate chatbot is integrated across every service channel, serves customer-service agents as well as end users, and comes with a downloadable whitepaper on how it was built.

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Dr. Mark Wernsdorfer
Strengths
- A clinical decision support system in production across 1,500+ hospital beds—deployment scale, published, which almost nobody in this register states
- Research and public-sector clients (Fraunhofer, BMBF Prototype Fund, Bavarian State Chancellery) whose selection processes are documented and slow
- Award-recognized applied work: DoppelCheck was a 2024 finalist for an international journalism innovation award
Watch-outs
- A single practitioner, so capacity is the binding constraint—confirm availability and what happens if the project outgrows one person
- Contact runs through a personal email address and no company entity is published; ordinary for an independent consultant, but procurement teams will ask
Lautmaler
Strengths
- Two case studies published with genuine technical depth, including how conversation quality is measured and improved after launch
- Enterprise references at scale—Telekom, VW Group, Deutsche Bahn, BVG, Merck—across six industries rather than one
- Builds its own tooling (imPersonator for agent persona design, a Unity-to-dialog-manager bridge for XR) and partners with Cognigy and Parloa rather than reselling one platform
Watch-outs
- Outcome numbers live inside downloadable PDFs rather than on the case pages—ask for them before comparing against agencies that publish openly
- No team size or founding year is published, so scale has to be established in the first call
