Uhrwerk.AI as a Langdock alternative for ERP processes
Uhrwerk.AI is an AI workflow platform for ERP systems in mid-sized companies. Langdock is an AI platform with chat, agents, workflows, a library, tools, skills, and integrations.
With Uhrwerk.AI you run work in your ERP as cases, with a responsible team and clear deadlines. Your business data stays useful over time, and supported actions reach your systems once you approve them. Here you can see what that means in practice and how it relates to Langdock.

In short
- Uhrwerk.AI focuses on ERP work: processes with ownership and deadlines, datasets maintained over time, and specific actions in ALPHAPLAN, Odoo, and DATEV.
- 55 ready-made connectors link your systems: from SAP, Business Central, oxaion, and ALPHAPLAN to DATEV, Lexware Office, Exchange, SharePoint, and Salesforce.
- You decide with the evidence in view: values extracted from PDFs appear in the approval right next to the highlighted region of the document. You can also create, read, and technically validate e-invoices in XRechnung and ZUGFeRD.
- Run it yourself from 25 users, per Locomind GmbH's offer, on your hardware or in your cloud; Langdock's Enterprise page states 5,000 seats for this.
- Uhrwerk.AI covers the basics too: AI chat with model choice, workflows, approvals, knowledge bases, and Office files. Langdock offers these as well.
What Uhrwerk.AI brings to your ERP work
These building blocks are dedicated modules in Uhrwerk, so you do not have to assemble them first. That says nothing about what can be built with Langdock, which offers its own workflows, integrations, APIs, and MCP. Availability depends on package and release.
Processes: cases with a responsible team and deadlines
Track orders, invoices, or requests as cases with phases, steps, responsible teams, and a status. Processes are a dedicated module above workflows. Deadlines run in working or calendar days, with escalation and an overdue state, and My tasks shows everyone what is open at a glance.
Undoing a process step does not reverse an action already carried out in another system, such as a posting.
Datasets: your business data outlasts the chat
Maintain your data as typed tables with schemas, keys, and queries right inside Uhrwerk. When importing into an existing dataset, you see the column mapping first and pick individual rows. This month's supplier file? Given a defined source key, Uhrwerk shows per source what is new, changed, or absent, and leaves other sources' records untouched.
Review before import applies to existing datasets; creating a dataset from a file works differently.
The evidence sits right next to the decision
No need to go looking: values extracted from PDFs appear in the approval next to the highlighted region of the source document. If a result is incomplete, Uhrwerk says so explicitly.
Scans or missing information can leave an extraction incomplete.
Create, read, and technically validate e-invoices
Create e-invoices as XRechnung and ZUGFeRD/Factur-X, read received invoices, and validate them technically, all in one place. Uhrwerk computes the totals and shows the validation status.
Technical validation, not legal or tax advice. The supported formats and profiles apply; a validation can also remain incomplete.
Actions directly in your ERP
ALPHAPLAN 5 and 6: read, write, and files, with changes after approval. Odoo: a draft quotation from a template after approval. DATEV: transfer documents to DATEV Belege online after approval.
Depends on ERP version, enabled interfaces, and licences; not every ERP function is covered. Odoo: a draft, no automatic sending and no order confirmation. DATEV: document upload, no postings.
Traceable decisions and changes
Later on, you still know who decided what: person, team, comment, amount, and the state shown at the time are recorded. Approvals can include a partial amount or a clarifying question. You improve processes while they run: open cases stay on their version or are moved deliberately, and replay lets you run through a new version first. The audit history is built as a hash chain with signed checkpoints.
Replay is not a test of live AI quality. Not every action is logged in every operating mode; retention and protection depend on configuration.
Your existing systems stay where they are
Connect Windows network drives over encrypted SMB3: live browsing and reading, plus scheduled indexing. Use Exchange On-Premises over IMAP, SMTP, and EWS, with no need to move the mailbox to Exchange Online.
Network access and credentials are required; the available functions depend on the protocol.
55 connectors for your systems
Uhrwerk.AI talks to the systems you already use: 55 ready-made connectors, 8 of them for open interfaces such as REST, OData, and SQL. Odoo comes on top as a separate connection.

Where Uhrwerk.AI and Langdock differ
We only count points on which Langdock itself publishes information. Each row names its source, so you can read it yourself.
| Criterion | Uhrwerk.AI | Langdock | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Running on your own hardware or in your own cloud accountEntry thresholds, not a price comparison; users or seats as stated by each vendor. Individual offers may differ. | From 25 users per Locomind GmbH's offer, on-premises or on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud; terms set out in each offer. | From 5,000 seats according to the Enterprise page, on-premises or on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Single-tenant deployment managed by Langdock starts at 2,000 seats on the same page. Standard SaaS on Azure in the EU is also available. | L04 |
| Who gives approvalsRefers to the documented approval mechanism in Langdock workflows, not to every solution built through integrations. | In Uhrwerk processes, members of the team responsible for the step answer tasks and approvals. Rights to edit or manage the process are separate. | According to Langdock's human-in-the-loop documentation, people with editor access to the workflow answer paused user inputs and action confirmations. | L03 |
You decide which services process your data
When Uhrwerk runs on your hardware or in your cloud, the application runs with you. You choose and configure language models, embeddings, research, and media services separately. So your own hardware alone does not keep all data in-house, which is why we disclose which services process data before you start.
Both include the basics
All of this is part of Uhrwerk.AI too. It is publicly documented for Langdock as well, so it does not decide the comparison.
- AI chat with a choice of several language models (L04)
- Your own model-provider credentials (Enterprise offering at Langdock) (L04)
- Visual workflows, also created and edited in natural language (L02, L12)
- Scheduled and event-triggered execution (L01, L02)
- Human approval before changes in connected systems (L03)
- Knowledge bases and connected data sources (L17)
- Custom, reusable skills (L09)
- Creating Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files (L09)
- Web search (L01)
- Custom APIs and MCP tools as workflow steps (L04, L07)
What Langdock does well
That belongs in an honest comparison too.
- Add-ins for Excel and Outlook (L01, L04)
- A dedicated interface for evaluating agents, Agent Evals (L18)
- According to its security page, ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II audited (L05)
- A catalogue of ready-made integrations, plus custom APIs and MCP (L07)
We are building Uhrwerk.AI with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II as our target. We do not hold a certificate or audit report today, and our target does not replace an independent audit.
Frequently asked questions about Langdock alternatives
