TamedAI

What TamedAI does

TamedAI GmbH is a German AI software company founded in 2019 as a university spin-off and headquartered in Essen. It develops proprietary multi-modal language and vision models that automate content extraction from scans and digital documents (Perceptor) and enable natural-language search across large document archives (Trace). The company's models are built and trained in-house in Germany without external model dependencies, and are positioned around accuracy, full traceability via page references, and avoidance of hallucinations in AI-generated outputs.

The company sells to enterprise customers through an API-first go-to-market motion, with products accessed via REST API and deployable as SaaS, hybrid (customer data local, LLM in the cloud), or fully on-premises in the customer's data center. Perceptor supports both zero-shot extraction and fine-tuning through a single interface, with real-time performance of under 4 seconds per page and batch processing for high-volume workloads. Named customers include adesso, AOK Niedersachsen, ARZService, EY, IVW, SDK Versicherung, and Vivawest, spanning insurance, healthcare, professional services, media, and real estate verticals.

TamedAI operates as a privately held GmbH with 1-10 employees. In June 2023 it received a strategic corporate investment from adesso ventures, the venture arm of adesso SE, where its registered office is also co-located. The company has no publicly disclosed pricing, revenue, or ARR figures, and uses a subscription-based SaaS/API commercial model with deployment flexibility as a core enterprise selling point.

Revenue model

1. SaaS/API Subscription: TamedAI generates revenue through cloud-based and on-premises deployment of Perceptor and Trace products. Products are accessed via REST API and can be operated as SaaS, hybrid (data locally, LLM in cloud), or fully on-premises. The revenue model appears to be subscription-based with usage components, given the real-time extraction and batch processing capabilities.

Core offering

TamedAI develops and sells AI-powered document processing software delivered through two main products: Perceptor, a multi-modal language and vision model that automatically extracts structured content (including tables and header data) from scans and digital documents via a REST API; and Trace, an enterprise document archive search solution that retrieves precise information from large heterogeneous document collections using natural language queries. Both products are developed and trained in-house in Germany and can be deployed as cloud SaaS, hybrid, or fully on-premises installations without external model dependencies.

Product overview

TamedAI offers two core AI-powered products: Perceptor and Trace. Perceptor is a multi-modal document extraction platform that automatically extracts content from scans and digital documents using language and vision models, offering both real-time extraction and batch processing capabilities with full traceability. Trace is a companion product focused on information retrieval across document archives, enabling users to find specific information with simple queries. Both products can be operated in the cloud, hybrid mode, or completely on-premises (on-premise), developed and operated by TamedAI GmbH in Germany without external model dependency.
