TextCortex is one of Europe's most visited AI platforms, with approximately 2 million monthly visitors. We've been recognized as one of the fastest-growing software products of 2024 by G2, and Gartner's Capterra has shortlisted us for general generative AI platforms. Our client base includes DAX companies, German hidden champions and Fortune 500 companies.

Our Product:
We offer knowledge agents that help company employees find information and answers faster. While manual searches can take several minutes or even hours, our AI agents provide meaningful and well referenced answers in 30-60 seconds.

In deployments of more than 100 employees, we've seen employees save 3-7 workdays per month per employee. For example, one of our Fortune 500 customers who started with us in 2024 has already tripled their account size due to the value they've experienced.
