brainbot develops AI and software systems for business processes where trust, control, and auditability are essential.
brainbot was founded in 2000 as a spin-off of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), initially as a search engine company. Since 2014, we've been building privacy infrastructure for critical systems: sensitive business processes, private AI infrastructure, cryptographic protocols, and digital elections.
Together with the City of Munich and Giesecke & Devrient, we are building a new digital voting system that is private, verifiable, and auditable.
brainbot built and maintains Shutter, encryption software that protects blockchain transactions from ordering manipulation - an attack type that has already drained billions of dollars from blockchain users.
