In this OMR Podcast episode, host Philipp Westermeyer interviews Judith Dada, co‑CEO of LangDoc, a model‑agnostic AI platform that provides a routing layer, Auto‑Mode, and a suite of chat, agent and workflow products for enterprise customers. The conversation begins with Dada’s personal background (Munich, CDTM/TUM, Oxford, Facebook) and her transition into venture capital before joining LangDoc. The interview then details LangDoc’s technology stack, its multi‑tenant and on‑premise deployment options, key customers (Merck, Techniker Krankenkasse, BASF), and its pricing model (license plus usage). Dada explains the company’s recent milestone of exceeding €50 million in revenue and outlines an ambitious long‑term goal of building a €100 billion‑plus enterprise, positioning LangDoc as a European “hyperscaler” for the AI‑workload era. She describes how the AI transformation follows previous digital revolutions (PC, cloud) and how token cost reductions—driven by model heterogeneity and open‑source alternatives—have turned the business profitable with SaaS‑like margins. Dada is bullish on the entire AI stack, emphasizing the importance of independence from single model providers and the value of partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic. She shares her view on where future value will be created (AI providers, chip makers, IPOs) and outlines LangDoc’s geographic expansion plan: Germany first, then the United States and France, with a new European office in the pipeline. The interview also delves into Dada’s personal life, discussing the challenges of balancing a demanding CEO role with motherhood, her reliance on a live‑in nanny, and the emotional toll of long travel periods. She highlights the company’s “Calm Urgency” culture, a five‑day office presence to maintain cohesion during rapid growth, and practices like walking meetings, high step counts, and her athletic background. The episode concludes with reflections on resilience, motivation, and the trade‑offs inherent in building a fast‑growing AI company while maintaining personal well‑being.
