The Notivo Team

Our Mission

Unlocking Knowledge Treasures for SMBs

Company knowledge is one of your most valuable assets – but it's often outdated, scattered, and trapped in silos. Anyone trying to use AI quickly realizes: without clean data, you won't get clean answers. We founded Notivo to solve this problem: an autonomous AI knowledge base that keeps your company's wisdom alive, organized, and working 24/7.

Behind Notivo is an interdisciplinary team from research, technology and business practice. We combine our experience in AI development, consulting and knowledge work into a shared mission: helping companies rethink knowledge – with an intelligent, intuitive and practical AI solution that truly works in everyday life.
