# Manuel Weichselbaum
Building foundation models that learn software through visual interaction.

## About

Manuel Weichselbaum builds foundation models that understand software through visual interaction. At anyconcept, he explores how AI can navigate interfaces using only pixels, mouse movements, and keystrokes—just like humans do.

Instead of relying on source code, Manuel created the Vision Action Model. This architecture interacts with UIs deterministically and already powers enterprise testing tools in production.

His background spans physics, telematics, and computer science, with over a decade spent researching AI. He is based in Graz, Austria, where he leads architecture for anyconcept.
