Wingman - Your Scalable Knowledge Operations AI Platform

Genow.ai is a German deep-tech startup originating as a spin-off from the Technical University of Darmstadt in 2023. The company was founded by Dr. Sara Jourdan (CEO), Dr. Timo Koppe (CTO), Adrian Glauben (Product Lead), and Prof. Peter Buxmann, who serves as an advisor. The founding team's background combines years of in-depth research at the university on generative AI in enterprise settings with practical experience in consulting, software development, and information systems. They identified that despite digitalization, many employees spend a significant portion of their day searching for information scattered across various internal systems like SharePoint, Confluence, and Jira. To address this challenge, Genow.ai developed 'Wingman', a Knowledge Operations AI platform. The platform connects to an organization's fragmented, unstructured knowledge sources and uses generative AI to deliver precise, context-aware answers. Instead of a one-size-fits-all solution, Wingman allows companies to build and scale specialized AI applications, or 'Knowledge Agents,' for specific business functions such as HR, sales, compliance, and customer service. This approach aims to make knowledge processes more efficient, preserve expertise at risk from retiring specialists, and generate new insights from existing data. The platform is designed for enterprise-level security and can be deployed as a SaaS model or within a customer's own cloud environment, ensuring data control and compliance with GDPR and the EU AI-Act. In August 2025, Genow.ai secured €1.65 million ($1.92M) in a seed funding round led by High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), with participation from BMH Beteiligungs-Managementgesellschaft Hessen and several angel investors. This capital is intended to drive further development of the Wingman platform, including the launch of a new 'Agent Suite', and to expand its market presence across Europe and the United States.
