meinGPT is an AI platform specifically optimised for German and European businesses, offering GDPR-compliant access to state-of-the-art AI technologies. As a central platform for all AI applications, meinGPT brings together various models and functions in a secure environment hosted in Europe.

The platform encompasses a wide range of AI tools for different application areas – from text generation and meeting management through to image and video production. One particularly valuable feature is its customisable workflows, which let you automate recurring tasks and build AI-driven processes.

The combination of GDPR compliance, versatile AI functionality and a user-friendly interface makes meinGPT the ideal solution for companies wanting to harness the benefits of artificial intelligence without compromising on data protection.

Key use cases: Google Vertex AI (Gemini) and meinGPT in action

Multimedia content analysis and creation

The challenge: Companies frequently need to efficiently analyse large volumes of mixed media content (text, images, video) and use it to create new, consistent content.

The solution with Google Vertex AI (Gemini) + meinGPT: An integrated workflow could be triggered by a Make trigger that detects new media files in a storage location (e.g. Google Drive or Dropbox). These files are passed to a meinGPT workflow, which:

Forwards the files to Gemini via the Google Vertex AI API, with variables such as {{Analyseziel}} (analysis goal) and {{Ausgabeformat}} (output format) controlling the process.
Gemini processes the different media types simultaneously – text, images, video and documents – and generates a comprehensive analysis.
The meinGPT workflow structures these results according to the defined specifications and uses them to create new content such as summaries, reports or marketing copy.
The finished content is automatically exported to CMS systems, social media or other target platforms.

The key benefit: Combining Gemini's ability to generate text from visual media with meinGPT's structured workflows enables highly automated media analysis and content creation that would otherwise require enormous manual resources.

Document processing with intelligent extraction

The challenge: Processing structured and unstructured documents (such as contracts, invoices, forms) is time-consuming and error-prone.

The solution with Google Vertex AI (Gemini) + meinGPT: An automated workflow can include the following steps:

Documents are received by email or via a portal and forwarded to meinGPT through Make.
A meinGPT workflow with access to the Data Vault (which contains company-specific document templates and rules) sends the documents to Google Vertex AI.
Gemini analyses the documents and extracts the relevant information, taking into account variables such as {{Dokumenttyp}} (document type) and {{Extraktionskriterien}} (extraction criteria).
The workflow compares the extracted data against internal specifications and carries out different follow-up steps depending on the result.
The processed data is automatically fed into enterprise systems such as CRM, ERP or databases.

The key benefit: Combining Gemini's advanced document analysis with meinGPT's workflow capabilities drastically reduces manual document processing and minimises errors.

Multilingual customer service assistant

The challenge: International companies need to handle customer enquiries in different languages efficiently and consistently.

The solution with Google Vertex AI (Gemini) + meinGPT: An integrated workflow could look like this:

Customer enquiries from various channels (email, chat, social media) are collected via Make and forwarded to meinGPT.
The meinGPT workflow first categorises the enquiries and then passes them to Gemini with specific variables such as {{Sprache}} (language), {{Thema}} (topic) and {{Priorität}} (priority).
Gemini can respond in numerous languages, making it ideal for multilingual customer interactions.
The responses are checked within the meinGPT workflow against company guidelines and adjusted where necessary.
The finished responses are sent back to the relevant output channels via Make.

The key benefit: This approach enables consistent, multilingual customer service with fast response times, without the need for specialised staff for every language.

AI-driven product development and market research

The challenge: Product development teams need timely market insights and creative ideas in order to develop competitive products.

The solution with Google Vertex AI (Gemini) + meinGPT: An integrated market research and ideation workflow could run as follows:

Initial product concepts or market questions are captured in a meinGPT workflow.
The workflow sends targeted research queries to Gemini, using variables such as {{Produktkategorie}} (product category), {{Zielmarkt}} (target market) and {{Wettbewerbsparameter}} (competitive parameters).
Vertex AI Search supports this with AI, natural language processing and large language models (LLMs) that deliver highly relevant search results and understand user intent.
The results are structured within meinGPT and enriched with internal company knowledge from the Data Vault.
In a second workflow step, Gemini generates creative product ideas based on the market insights.
The final proposals are automatically transferred into project management tools or presentations for decision-makers.

The key benefit: Combining Gemini's research and creative capabilities with meinGPT's structured workflows significantly speeds up market research and ideation.

Use case	Complexity level	Setup time	Maintenance effort	Ideal for
Multimedia content analysis	Medium	Medium	Low	Marketing, content teams
Document processing	High	High	Medium	Legal, finance and administrative departments
Multilingual customer service	Medium	Medium	Low	International companies with a global customer base
Product development	Low	Low	Minimal	Innovation and development teams
