With an unique approach, Politagents
combines senior expertise in politics, technology and communication to help organizations move beyond AI experimentation and integrate artifical intelligence as an integral part of their daily work.
The work of Politagents spans concept development to finished software to change management.
In our event formats, we bring together startups, engaged citizens, and decision-makers to solve challenges in media, education, and democracy. We believe that what you initiate inside your organization creates ripple effects beyond it, contributing to solutions for broader societal challenges.
Founded in early 2025 in Karlsruhe, Politagents combines startup spirit with years of hands-on leadership expertise. Alongside David Fischer, Co-Founder Eric Dauenhauer advises organizations on practical AI implementation, AI compliance, balancing between data protection and innovation.
Dauenhauer brings over 15 years of leadership experience in software development and digital product design. He led 60 developers as Head of Shop Development at 1&1 Telecommunication SE and previously held leadership positions at idealo and ImmobilienScout24.
His international petition for responsible AI development gathered over 210,000 signatures worldwide, making it one of the largest petitions globally for ethical AI.
Politagents offers end-to-end AI implementation, from enablement and strategy to execution and cultural change.
The process starts with legal analysis to ensure compliance with GDPR and the EU AI Act. Our workshops and training form a multi-stage series from fundamentals to automation, including keynote impulses, hands-on sessions, and open Q&A.
Strategy development identifies AI potential in your processes and creates realistic roadmaps with clear priorities. For implementation, we build custom software solutions and integrate AI tools into your existing systems. Change management includes individual coaching, virtual office hours, and organizational guidelines.
After the workshops, you receive a toolbox with ready-to-use AI tools, prompting guides, and legal compliance overviews. This approach moves you past experiments to real implementation, focusing on what your organization actually needs.
Three out of four companies failed to scale their AI pilots in 2025, according to Deloitte's "State of AI in the Enterprise" study published at the World Economic Forum 2026. A significant gap remains between wanting AI and actually implementing it. Politagents exists to close this gap - moving organizations from experimentation to real implementation.
Many mid-sized companies, associations, and political organizations hesitate due to complex regulations like GDPR and the EU AI Act. Others start experimenting but struggle to move forward because they lack a clear roadmap and practical implementation knowledge. Politagents bridges this gap by guiding you through the entire process, determining which areas to transform, which tools fit your organization, which investments deliver returns, and how to shape change so your teams work with greater satisfaction.
This approach ensures legal compliance, avoids costly missteps, and focuses on practical implementation rather than theoretical strategy. You gain hands-on expertise from media, politics, and technology leadership, strategic thinking from people who have led teams through digital transformation.
Politagents serves as a partner who understands that technology exists to serve people.
And we understand how to use tools - wisely.
