Codex Community Meetup
Hello everyone!
We're excited to announce **Vienna's first official** **Codex Community Meetup**, co-hosted with **Vienna AI Engineering** on Monday, April 27!
For this meetup we are returning to **Greentube** who will generously host us at their HQ on **Wiedner Hauptstraße**.
Catch up on the latest Codex updates, see live demos, and learn best practices from power users.

VDSG meets WiAI Austria: Building AI-Ready Data in Insurance & Healthcare
Dear Data Enthusiasts,
Come to the joint event with Women in AI Austria at UNIQA on the **29th of April** to explore how fragmented, heterogeneous data can be transformed into governed, AI-ready foundations that drive real impact. This evening we will hear how these challenges play out in two very different domains: managing workforce data at scale in insurance, and unifying multi-modal clinical data to support better patient outcomes in healthcare.
**From Fragmented to Foundational: People Analytics at UNIQA**
How do you turn fragmented People Data into a trusted, AI‑ready data foundation? This session shows how UNIQA uses Databricks as a core data platform for people analytics, integrating multiple sources into a governed People Datawarehouse. We will explore how to enable a single source of truth for workforce data to support responsible analytics, scalable dashboards, and AI‑ready datasets.
[Stefanie Blaschke](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanie-blaschke/), Head of group people analytics at UNIQA
Stefanie is Head of Group People Analytics at UNIQA Insurance Group, specializing in turning complex workforce data into clear, actionable insights.
**Scaling Clinical Intelligence with STETHOSCOPE**
As healthcare faces a post-pandemic capacity crisis exacerbated by aging demographics, the industry's fragmented data—spanning clinical tables, medical imaging, and ECG recordings—remains its greatest untapped asset. We introduce STETHOSCOPE, an AI-driven framework built on Databricks that unifies these multi-modal streams to alleviate administrative burnout and drastically reduce the risk of misdiagnosis. This session demonstrates why the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform is the definitive backbone for high-stakes healthcare LLMOps, enabling the transition from chaotic data to actionable clinical insights. Through real-world case studies and field experience, we show how agentic architectures transform patient care and operational efficiency.
[Monika Hujter](https://www.linkedin.com/in/monika-hujter-65802512b/) and [Zsofia Prager](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zsofia-prager-data-science/), Data Scientists at Hiflylabs
Monika and Zsofia are Data Scientists at Hiflylabs, and work at the intersection of machine learning and real-world impact, with a current focus on healthcare AI.

Austrian School of Economics Salon CVII
Dear Austrians,
**Stable Money?**
As simple and harmless as our next topic sounds, it is all but.
What is "stable", really? Stable to what exactly? What are the different dimensions of stable? Can money be truly stable? Why is there an illusion of stability? Why do people wish for it? What type of money can be stable? What stabilises money, what destabilises it? What's the role of expectations? Who are the losers of unstable money, who the winners?
Our next salon will commence with a short impulse keynote, followed by a Socratic debate. The hosts provide complimentary drinks, you provide your thoughts and questions.
As usual, we will meet in the "Hayek Saal" at Vienna's Hayek Institute.
I look forward to a lively debate.
Yours,
Hubertus

ABOUT OPENCLAW
Forget simple Q&A. We are entering the era of proactive AI. OpenClaw (formerly ClawdBot) is an open source framework that closes the gap between generative AI and real operational execution. AI agents operate inside everyday messengers such as Telegram or WhatsApp and autonomously perform complex business workflows. This event provides a deep dive into the architecture, capabilities, risks, and future implications of agentic systems that will fundamentally reshape how companies operate.
WHY OPENCLAW
OpenClaw represents a major milestone. For the first time, AI truly acts as a proactive assistant. It does not just respond to commands. It informs you, prepares briefings, and executes tasks autonomously within familiar interfaces such as WhatsApp or Telegram. This marks the transition from passive tools to operational AI agents.

**Talk Details:**
**Talk 1:** **TiRex: Zero-Shot Forecasting Across Long and Short Horizons with Enhanced In-Context Learning**
TiRex is a compact pre-trained forecasting model for zero-shot time series forecasting across both short and long horizons. Built on an xLSTM backbone, it combines recurrent state tracking and strong in-context learning with contiguous patch masking and masked inference, enabling robust forecasting and efficient uncertainty estimation. This talk outlines the key architectural and training choices behind the model, including data augmentation strategies and large-scale pre-training. Results on public benchmarks show strong zero-shot forecasting performance together with fast inference and a low memory footprint. The talk also highlights how TiRex representations transfer to downstream tasks such as time series classification, illustrating the promise of forecasting models as broader foundation models for time series.
**About the speaker:**
Sebastian Böck is Lead Researcher at NXAI, specializing in Deep Learning, Sequence Modeling, and Time Series Forecasting. He received his PhD in Computer Science from JKU in Linz and his diploma degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the Technical University in Munich. Long before his current focus on the efficiency and scalability of foundation models, he pioneered the application of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) in Music Information Retrieval—spanning onset detection, beat tracking, and polyphonic transcription. This early work cemented his deep expertise in state-tracking and recurrent architectures. Today, his research at NXAI centers on overcoming the fundamental scaling and inference bottlenecks of modern AI through the extended Long Short-Term Memory (xLSTM) paradigm and its application across diverse modalities.
**Talk 2:** **Combining technological precision with social responsibility in training data preparation**
This presentation introduces Responsible Annotation Services (RAS), a specialized All-Austrian provider of high-quality data processing. Founded as a spin-off of the non-profit Responsible Annotation, RAS leverages a unique workforce of neurodivergent experts to deliver exceptional attention to detail, pattern recognition, and perseverance - helping to create reliable, ethical, and effective AI systems.
Three distinct case studies will be presented demonstrating the versatility across modalities and industries:
Bank Foyer Safety: A strategic collaboration with KEBA to refine their AI assistant, KeBob. This involved the meticulous labeling of human postures and mobility aid usage to enhance real-time emergency detection in semi-public banking environments.
Text Annotation: A dive into our natural language processing project with Newsadoo, showcasing how our team structures complex textual data to train advanced language models with high semantic accuracy.
Air-Vehicle Surveillance: A large-scale project with Frequentis involving the annotation of approximately 5 million video frames for airport monitoring, transforming raw footage into precise training data.
**About the Speaker:**
Andreas Schachl is a seasoned tech leader and open source enthusiast who believes that creating a better future requires action — not just ideas. Together with his friend Hans‑Peter Kranewitter, Andreas co‑founded Responsible Annotation Services, an AI‑focused venture that streamlines the entire data pipeline. Their key to success is a neuro‑diverse team of annotation experts who consistently deliver top‑tier results at high speed, even over prolonged periods.
We are looking forward to welcoming you at our April Meetup.
