Who We Are
We are two IT engineers with over 15 years of experience each in team lead positions across software engineering and DevOps.
We live in Germany and work at IT companies in high-rank technical roles. Runabot is our hobby project, currently used by friends and family. We hope that more people will like it too!
Our Vision
"Together we are strong"
Our aim is to build a community of bot users--both private individuals and businesses--who share common values: privacy, cost efficiency, and independence from commercial AI providers.
Together, we will run inference of a large, "smart" open-source model that provides a great bot experience. This approach solves many challenges:
| Challenge | Solution |
|---|---|
| GDPR Compliance | Data stays in Germany, protected by EU regulations |
| LLM Cost & Limits | No subscription caps |
| Privacy | Your conversations remain private, not used for training |
| Data Sovereignty | Prevent commercial models from training on our data |
