About anima:machina

anima:machina develops an AI architecture that enables machines to maintain situational awareness in complex, dynamic scenarios. If a child cries in the kitchen while someone shouts and a glass shatters in the next room, a system needs to identify what matters most right now. anima evaluates such events in context, sets priorities, and continuously adapts its behavior to the overall situation. Our product is the software architecture. It is manufacturer-independent and can be integrated into various robotics and embodied AI systems. It is developed and tested on our own humanoid robotics demonstrator in Munich. Our customers are companies developing robots or other embodied AI systems that require an architecture uniting states, events, and goals—for instance, for safe human-machine interaction, autonomous decision-making, or the early detection of critical situations.

Our Mission

Our mission is to give machines a genuine situational understanding—so that in a complex world, they don't just react, but recognize what is important right now and act accordingly.

Our Vision

A future where machines understand their situation, enabling them to interact naturally, safely, and autonomously with humans and their environment. anima aims to become the foundational architecture for this.

Aktlas

Aktlas is the compliance platform for the EU AI Act, built for SMEs. Companies record their AI systems in a central inventory, classify the risk of each system according to the regulation’s requirements, and receive audit-ready documentation as a result: checklists, evidence, and PDF reports that stand up before management, clients, and auditors. Instead of reading 144 pages of regulations or purchasing consulting days, teams answer straightforward questions and receive specific, prioritized tasks. Our customers are small and medium-sized enterprises in the DACH region that are already using AI—from support chatbots to applicant screening—and want to fulfill their obligations under EU Regulation 2024/1689 without a dedicated compliance team. A free starter plan with two AI systems is available, with paid plans starting at €79 per month.

ambuflow

At Ambuflow, we develop and operate the first end-to-end operating system specifically designed for outpatient surgical centers. By 2030, an additional 2 million surgeries previously performed on an inpatient basis are set to be carried out on an outpatient basis. To deliver complex outpatient surgeries economically and to the highest standards, outpatient surgical centers require seamless, controllable processes that differ significantly from inpatient surgical operations. Our digital platform enables efficient, safe, and controllable outpatient surgical operations, from surgery registration all the way to billing.

ANORA

ANORA is the AI Business OS for companies looking to scale content, marketing, and growth with artificial intelligence without losing control over brand, knowledge, and approvals. The platform connects briefings, brand DNA, corporate knowledge, assets, approvals, and performance signals within a unified system. Marketing teams use it to automate content, visuals, social media, SEO, and Google Ads. Instead of numerous isolated standalone tools, it creates traceable, brand-compliant workflows with human control over approvals, budgets, and publishing. ANORA is aimed at companies, brands, and marketing teams that want to establish repeatable AI operations and make their communications more efficient, consistent, and measurable.
