# brainbot > brainbot is an AI consulting and implementation partner: the company advises businesses on adopting AI and builds production AI agents for their business processes. Founded in 2000 as a spin-off of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). Based in Mainz, Germany, serving the Rhein-Main region including Wiesbaden and Frankfurt, and clients across DACH. brainbot develops AI systems and privacy infrastructure for organisations where trust, control, and auditability are essential. Work spans AI consulting and AI agents for regulated business processes, encryption software for blockchain networks, and secure digital voting systems. Where AI is deployed, all systems run on-premise or in sovereign EU cloud infrastructure - no data leaves the client's control. Primary industries served: manufacturing, legal, finance, and healthcare. ## Consulting - [AI Consulting (German)](https://brainbot.com/ki-beratung/): AI consulting for the German Mittelstand - AI strategy, potential analysis, AI roadmaps, feasibility and economic assessment, model and architecture selection, implementation, and operations.

Engineering data stayed in a controlled DACH cloud environment. Three workflows went live in 8 weeks. Processing time per quote dropped 30-50%. - [ELSTER Tax Filing Automation](https://brainbot.com/en/solutions/backoffice-agent/#case-study): Active internally at brainbot. Tax advisors were spending specialist time on repetitive return preparation and filing. brainbot built an end-to-end agent that prepares the return, reviews it internally, and files via ELSTER - only after advisor confirmation. Result: +50% client capacity in tax workflows. A pilot with a tax advisory firm is now underway. - [Creditreform Data Analysis](https://brainbot.com/en/solutions/data-analyst/#case-study): One of the largest credit agencies in the EU. Management queries against client data required going through the data team - two days to get a report. brainbot built two modules: a data analysis agent queryable by voice or chat directly against the client database, and a CRM enrichment layer. Every data change requires human confirmation before it goes through. Result: response time for management queries dropped from 2 days to 20 minutes, with no added headcount. ## Data Security - [Data Security](https://brainbot.com/en/data-security/): Overview of brainbot's approach - on-premise deployment, Trusted Execution Environments, and EU cloud outside the US CLOUD Act. - [What is a TEE?](https://brainbot.com/en/what-is-a-tee/): How Trusted Execution Environments let companies run cloud AI on sensitive data without the cloud operator being able to read it, and how remote attestation proves it. - [Can companies use AI without sending sensitive data to the cloud?](https://brainbot.com/en/blog/ai-with-sensitive-data/): Compares local AI and confidential computing, when each fits, and how the two can be combined.
