Penny's Zagreb tip
Zagreb, as Croatia's economic heart, faces unique challenges and opportunities for AI transformation. The competitive landscape means efficiency isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. I recently worked with a small architecture firm in Centar struggling with project management and client communication overload. They had a junior project manager/admin role costing them around €1,300 per month in salary alone. By implementing AI tools for scheduling, automated client updates, and initial query handling, they reduced the need for that full-time role. The AI alternatives cost them a mere €75 per month. This allowed the firm to reallocate their budget towards design talent, improving their core offering. The Zagreb AI advantage is clear: by automating high-frequency, low-complexity tasks, businesses can significantly reduce operational costs and free up valuable human capital to focus on strategic growth and innovation, especially in areas like Radnička cesta where costs are higher.
