Our IP studio creates and develops stories, our technology platforms support their development and discovery, and our work in film and location-based entertainment brings stories to life.

SmartFoodAdvisor

SmartFoodAdvisor is an AI-powered web app from Munich that acts as a personal food coach, connecting recipe ideas, weekly meal planning, pantry supplies, and grocery shopping.

Price estimates support shopping planning and serve as a guide. Our target audience includes individuals, couples, and families looking to cook varied meals and simplify their daily routine around food. The focus is on a seamless end-to-end process: from “What do I want to eat today?” to checking available ingredients and doing targeted shopping. SmartFoodAdvisor is already available. In addition, we are establishing partnerships with recipe creators, nutritionists, and other partners to connect personalized meal planning with relevant content and practical everyday support.

Adjuvanto

Adjuvanto is an AI-powered platform for sanctions list screening and resolving hits. It is designed for trade compliance teams. Conventional tools only report potential hits. Adjuvanto goes further and investigates each hit before an analyst sees it. The platform first standardizes master data, including spellings from Arabic, Chinese, or Cyrillic. Then it checks them daily against the sanctions lists of the EU, OFAC, the UK, and the UN. It rules out obvious false positives with documented reasoning. For all other hits, it researches online presence, address, and adverse media, providing the analyst with a fully prepared case. The decision is always made by a human. Every decision is automatically documented in an audit-proof manner. Integration with ERP systems takes place via API or batch upload. Our customers are compliance teams in export-oriented companies, such as mechanical engineering, industrial manufacturing, and logistics. The product was created in collaboration with more than 70 trade compliance experts from across Europe. We are supported by UnternehmerTUM, Legal Tech Colab, and the Munich Business School.
