The Colo\u00adgne-based company offers an AI-based work\u00adforce that auto\u00adma\u00adtes the support acti\u00advi\u00adties of highly quali\u00adfied specia\u00adlists \u2014 from tech\u00adni\u00adcal support and product consul\u00adting to field service support \u2014 and is aimed at SME and enter\u00adprise custo\u00admers.

For the first time, the start-up auto\u00adma\u00adtes not only simple tasks, but also the acti\u00advi\u00adties of highly quali\u00adfied specialists. <\/p>\n With this seed round, octo\u00adnomy is sending a clear signal of the success of its unique AI plat\u00adform just six months after announ\u00adcing its last pre-seed round of over USD 5 million. This brings octo\u00adno\u00admy\u2019s total funding to 25 million US dollars just five months after ente\u00adring the market. <\/p>\n octo\u00adnomy is backed by an expe\u00adri\u00aden\u00adced team of tech\u00adno\u00adlogy and AI experts: Sushel Bijga\u00adnath (CEO)<\/strong> and Oliver Trabert (CPTO)<\/strong> have alre\u00adady built up seve\u00adral tech compa\u00adnies toge\u00adther with co-foun\u00adders Thors\u00adten Grote, Markus Hans\u00adlik <\/strong>and Thomas Bollig<\/strong>. The 70-strong team has exten\u00adsive AI exper\u00adtise, inclu\u00adding from Meta, Amazon, Aleph Alpha and unicorns such as Perso\u00adnio, Staff\u00adbase and Sosafe. <\/p>\n Digi\u00adtal work\u00adforce instead of pilot projects The plat\u00adform is based on a tech\u00adno\u00adlogy that proces\u00adses unstruc\u00adtu\u00adred data intel\u00adli\u00adgently and responds with high precis\u00adion. While stan\u00addard market models and provi\u00adders quickly lose context in complex envi\u00adron\u00adments and, accor\u00adding to our custo\u00admers, are only 50% accu\u00adrate, octo\u00adnomy achie\u00adves 95%1 \u2014 often above the human bench\u00admark. octo\u00adnomy relies on a proprie\u00adtary tech\u00adno\u00adlogy that under\u00adstands even complex specia\u00adlist know\u00adledge and relia\u00adbly auto\u00adma\u00adtes the support acti\u00advi\u00adties of highly quali\u00adfied specia\u00adlists; far beyond stan\u00addar\u00addi\u00adzed RAG solu\u00adti\u00adons. Even compa\u00adnies in complex envi\u00adron\u00adments that were previously unable to use a relia\u00adble AI solu\u00adtion bene\u00adfit from measura\u00adble relief and increased custo\u00admer satis\u00adfac\u00adtion \u2014 in less than 20 days imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion time. Thanks to hosting in Germany and full GDPR and EU AI Act compli\u00adance, octo\u00adno\u00admy\u2019s plat\u00adform also offers maxi\u00admum data secu\u00adrity and transparency. <\/p>\n \u201c80 percent2 of all AI projects fail as soon as they become complex. This is exactly where we come in,\u201d explains Sushel Bijga\u00adnath, foun\u00adder and CEO of octo\u00adnomy. \u201cOur agents deli\u00adver a proven 95+ percent response quality and signi\u00adfi\u00adcantly reduce the workload of teams. With Macqua\u00adrie at our side, we are gaining an inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnal part\u00adner to make this strength available in Europe and the USA.\u201d <\/p>\n Capi\u00adtal for expan\u00adsion and product leadership \u201cocto\u00adnomy has deve\u00adlo\u00adped an AI solu\u00adtion that auto\u00adma\u00adtes complex know\u00adledge work at expert level. This is not just a further deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment of the chat\u00adbot, but a real AI revo\u00adlu\u00adtion, espe\u00adci\u00adally in the area of tech\u00adni\u00adcal support,\u201d says Elmar Broscheit, Global Co-Head of Macqua\u00adrie Capi\u00adtal Venture Capi\u00adtal<\/strong>. \u201cocto\u00adnomy shows how complex busi\u00adness proces\u00adses with their own intellec\u00adtual property can be auto\u00adma\u00adted precis\u00adely, secu\u00adrely and scalably.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cGermany still has enorm\u00adous poten\u00adtial in the appli\u00adca\u00adtion of arti\u00adfi\u00adcial intel\u00adli\u00adgence in the corpo\u00adrate context,\u201d says J\u00f6rg Binnen\u00adbr\u00fc\u00adcker, Foun\u00adding Part\u00adner of Capna\u00admic<\/strong>. \u201cocto\u00adnomy is buil\u00adding an indus\u00adtrial tool. They trans\u00adlate expert know\u00adledge into scalable, opera\u00adtio\u00adnal intel\u00adli\u00adgence and make expe\u00adri\u00adence produc\u00adtive. This is exactly the kind of tech\u00adno\u00adlogy Germany needs to bring AI from rese\u00adarch into value creation.\u201d <\/p>\n Dr. Ansgar Schlei\u00adcher (photo \u00a9 TVF), Mana\u00adging Part\u00adner Tech\u00adVi\u00adsion Fonds<\/strong>: \u201cTech\u00adni\u00adcal service today faces a double chall\u00adenge: the systems to be main\u00adtai\u00adned are beco\u00adming incre\u00adasingly complex, while quali\u00adfied specia\u00adlists are hard to find. This makes it all the more important to complete assign\u00adments successfully on the first visit. A high first time fix rate is not only an effi\u00adci\u00adency factor, but also a decisive compe\u00adti\u00adtive advan\u00adtage. This is exactly where octo\u00adnomy deli\u00advers solu\u00adti\u00adons that make the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n With the octo\u00adnomy plat\u00adform, AI agents can be deployed quickly and flexi\u00adbly to assist custo\u00admer service teams and auto\u00admate sub-proces\u00adses. octo\u00adnomy goes far beyond simple auto\u00adma\u00adtion. The plat\u00adform can even process complex tech\u00adni\u00adcal queries \u2014 from engi\u00adneers or mecha\u00adnics, for example. <\/p>\n

The funds from this new finan\u00adcing round will prima\u00adrily be used to expand the company\u2019s market leader\u00adship and to extend its sales and marke\u00adting struc\u00adtures in the DACH region and the USA. <\/p>\n
