About us

We’re building the AI operating system for manufacturing service teams.

The service business offers manufacturing companies a major strategic opportunity: it can contribute up to 50% of revenue and is also characterised by significantly higher margins than new business. To tap this potential in the long term, scalable processes and the effective use of existing product and process knowledge are crucial.

Our AI operating system for manufacturing service enables the automation of service processes such as ordering spare parts, planning on-site visits by service technicians or answering technical questions. Our AI agents are end-to-end integrated into the customer's IT systems and based on existing expert knowledge. As a result, service employees can focus on the truly complex cases, and processing times for customers are significantly reduced.

The best possible work environment: A modern office next to Olympiapark, MacBooks, benefits such as Wellpass and the Deutschlandticket and every tool you need to excel at your work. And of course, the best colleagues you could image: We make sure that fun is at the heart of everything we do.
