Two Ukrainian IT professionals, Sergiy and Yaroslav, who found refuge in the county after fleeing the war, have now launched a local venture.

AIMediaflow is dedicated to helping small and medium-sized Kerry businesses thrive through accessible artificial intelligence (AI).
Sergiy, a programmer with 30 years of experience, and Yaroslav, an IT Support Engineer at Temmler Ireland in Killorglin, met at the Killarney VTOS educational centre. Their shared passion for technology and a desire to give back to their new community sparked an innovative partnership.
After settling in Kerry, the two men spoke with local hoteliers, restaurant managers, and artisans, realising many were overwhelmed by repetitive, time-consuming tasks. "We saw an opportunity to help," Yaroslav explains. "Our goal became to make the advanced AI used by big corporations simple, accessible, and truly useful for our new neighbours."
AIMediaflow is dedicated to solving these everyday challenges. They have developed practical tools, such as intelligent assistants that can answer phone calls and book appointments 24/7, ensuring local guesthouses never miss a potential booking. They also build smart chatbots to instantly answer customer questions on a shop's website, freeing up staff time.
"It's about empowering them," Sergiy adds. "We create tools that handle the tedious work, so owners can focus on what they love, improving their services, innovating, and connecting with their customers."
The venture also offers solutions to automate paperwork, seamlessly connecting website forms to invoicing systems, and provides tools to create professional marketing videos. Sergiy and Yaroslav's work is a quiet reminder that technological innovation is being built right here in Kerry, by newcomers contributing their skills and passion to the community that welcomed them.
