The core offering centers on two products: prAIvicy, a data-protection-compliant AI assistant with integrated legal database for regulated industries, and Ada, an industry-configurable AI back-office platform for property management companies and law firms that automates recurring administrative work such as mail intake, document handling, and routine correspondence. Additionally, BlockBuilder offers consulting and software development around AI agents, on-premises AI, smart contracts, and DeFi. The target audience consists of DACH B2B companies that want to leverage AI productively without taking on compliance risks.

CarbonInsights

The challenge many companies face in managing CO₂ emissions lies less in a lack of willingness to reduce them, but rather in the reliable capture and structuring of relevant data. The central bottleneck in today’s carbon accounting is not the calculation itself, but the availability and preparation of emissions-related information. Existing solutions often require extensive manual data entry, rely on complex enterprise systems, or are economically inaccessible for small and medium-sized businesses. At the same time, the majority of emissions originate in supply chains and operational processes that are documented but not systematically analyzed. The CarbonInsights system addresses this exact point by fundamentally shifting the entry point for CO₂ accounting. Rather than requiring companies to manually collect data, the system uses existing business documents as the primary data source. Invoices, delivery notes, and energy bills are processed automatically, allowing emissions-relevant activities to be extracted directly from real operational data. The system architecture combines document processing, structured data extraction, and automated classification. Artificial intelligence is strategically applied to interpret unstructured content, while the actual emissions calculation remains rule-based and transparent. This separation enables both scalability and transparency of results. The result is a structured CO₂ balance, organized by categories such as transport, energy, and materials. Beyond mere reporting, the system establishes a direct connection between emissions and the underlying operational structures. Based on this, prioritized optimization measures are derived that are tailored to the specific business model and identified emissions focus areas. This approach transforms CO₂ accounting from a purely retrospective reporting obligation into a forward-looking analytical tool. By integrating into existing document flows, the CarbonInsights system significantly reduces manual effort and makes sound emissions analysis accessible even for companies without specialized sustainability infrastructure. In a regulatory environment where emissions transparency is increasingly mandatory, this approach offers a practical way to gain reliable insights into your own CO₂ footprint and derive concrete measures for emissions reduction.
