AI with Konrad: AI Startups as Innovation Drivers in Publishing

AI startups often bring new technological developments into practical use especially fast. Without grown structures and with a direct view of concrete problems, they arrive at solutions that established companies often only pick up later.

mintloop is a case in point for what that looks like in publishing: agentic AI already handles tasks that go far beyond individual use cases today, automating processes that used to require a lot of manual work.

That's exactly what Matthias Kraus will address on October 12 in an interview with Konrad Teichert at HSSdigital, the Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung's online series on current topics in business, society and technology.

What the session covers

The session centers on the motivation behind founding mintloop: why a startup, rather than an established company, was the right setting to rethink publishing and content processes with agentic AI.

Matthias Kraus explains what role agentic AI plays in mintloop's approach and shows, through concrete use cases, how publishers can automate research, content processing and editorial workflows without giving up control over quality and decisions.

Who should attend

The session is aimed at anyone interested in AI startups as innovation drivers, as well as publishers and media companies looking for practical insights into using agentic AI in publishing.

Participation is free; registration via the Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung event page is required.
