1-minute summary

Christoph Standl talks in this episode about the closing of Tourismus Interaktiv's twelfth financial year and the start of the thirteenth on October 1st. He explains that the past year was demanding, yet it was during this year that the company made its most important decision since its founding: rather than growing by hiring more staff, Tourismus Interaktiv will grow by giving every department, from sales to technology, its own AI agent. This so-called TI Company Brain will officially go live on October 5th. Standl compares the company to a house, where people on the ground floor make decisions while agents work on the first floor, and where growth means adding new floors rather than expanding the ground floor. He outlines three future scenarios: seamless guest information everywhere, small municipalities getting full-service digital infrastructure as a subscription, and entrepreneurs outside tourism becoming interested in the AI approach. Finally, he asks customers, partners, employees and shareholders to join him on this journey through 2034, naming three goals: working profitably, bringing the Company Brain to first customers, and building the second floor.

Description

Today is the last day of our twelfth fiscal year. Tomorrow the thirteenth begins – since we started in Kufstein in September 2014.

In this special episode I talk about the most important decision since our founding: Tourismus Interaktiv is no longer growing through ever more staff, but with AI agents alongside every department. Humans decide, agents prepare. On October 5th we officially switch on the TI Company Brain.

I share the image of the house with its floors and three pictures of what our work could look like in 2034, when Tourismus Interaktiv turns twenty. And I ask you for something: walk this path with us – three years, eight years. As a customer, partner, team member, shareholder, or simply as a listener.

Big changes often begin with small daily steps.
