What Web Computing does

Web Computing GmbH is a German AI and software development company founded in 2012 in Münster as a university project involving one professor and four students. The firm operates three product lines under dedicated sub-brands: DialogBits, a generative-AI conversational platform for building self-training, GDPR-compliant chatbots with a no-code interface; coovi, an all-in-one video platform combining webcam/screen recording, editing, content management and eLearning features targeted at enterprises, public administrations and educational institutions; and codebeat, a custom AI and software engineering services arm covering generative AI, BI, NLP/LLM, computer vision, ETL, testing and UX. All development is conducted 100% in-house in Münster with no outsourcing, spanning 23 programming/scripting languages.

The company serves a dual customer base: small and medium-sized enterprises alongside large DAX-listed corporations, including the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe (German Savings Banks Finance Group) of which Web Computing is itself an enterprise, providing embedded institutional distribution. GTM is hybrid, combining enterprise field sales and key-account management for codebeat engagements with self-service product-led growth for DialogBits and coovi through dedicated product websites. Marketing channels include product websites, LinkedIn, Xing, Facebook, Instagram and employer-branding on Kununu, where the firm holds a 4.5/5 rating and consecutive Top Company Badges.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring SaaS subscriptions (DialogBits, coovi) and professional services for codebeat custom development, with no public pricing and no disclosed funding. The firm is privately held, led by Managing Directors Marc Bober and Antonius Ostermann, operates with 140+ employees, supervises more than 90 academic theses for talent pipeline, and holds membership in the KI Bundesverband (German AI Federal Association), explicitly positioning itself for European AI and digital-sovereignty-aligned deals.
