PflegeadlerPflegeadler offers a digital platform for people who need support with care levels, care level decisions, and appeals. Users can use a low-threshold quick check to see if an appeal against a rejected or too low care level makes sense. The app then guides them step-by-step through the further case intake, the collection of important data, documents, and powers of attorney, as well as the structured preparation of the legally assisted processing.

The current focus is on care level appeals. In addition, Pflegeadler is expanding its digital entry points for applying for care levels, upgrades, care level calculators, and related care benefits. The goal is an understandable, transparent, and well-managed process that relieves relatives and clarifies the next step.

TWWIM Ug (haftungsbeschränkt)TWWIM baut den Onsite AI-Agenten für Websites und Online-Shops in DACH und EU. Während klassische Chatbots Fragen beantworten und Kunden danach selbst weiter klicken müssen, führt TWWIM die Aktion direkt auf der Seite aus: setzt Filter, navigiert durch Sortimente, füllt Warenkorb und Formulare, löst Reorders aus. Was per Klick im Shop-UI machbar ist, geht per Sprache oder Text in einem Satz.

Drei konkrete Anwendungsfälle treiben das Produkt: B2B-Stammkunden, die monatlich denselben Korb bestellen und 30 Sekunden statt fünf Minuten brauchen. Mobile-Shopper, die in 60-70% der Sessions konvertieren würden, wenn Filter und Suche nicht acht bis zwölf Taps erfordern würden. Internationale Käufer, die ihre Sprache erwarten und Vertrauen verlieren wenn Kommunikation hakt.

Verfügbar als native App im Shopify App Store, WordPress-Plugin für WooCommerce, JS-Snippet für jede HTML-Seite. JTL Plugin in Vorbereitung. Self-hosted AI in EU-Rechenzentren, keine Drittanbieter im Datenpfad, BFSG- und EAA-ready, GDPR-konform. Made in Germany.

Gegründet im Oktober 2025 in Köln von Dmitri Botezat. 15 Jahre Softwareentwicklungs-Erfahrung, davor Senior-Engineer-Rollen in DACH-Tech. Solo-Founder, bootstrapped. Shopify App Store Launch April 2026. Free Plan mit 100 Commands pro Monat ohne Zeitlimit, Lite ab 29 Euro, Starter ab 79 Euro im Monat.

Bielefeld, Germany

act.Valoraact.Valora is a German AI startup that is radically rethinking procurement. With Valora, an autonomous AI agent, act.Valora automates the entire purchase-to-pay process – from needs assessment and offer comparison to ordering and invoice verification. Valora sets a new standard for modern P2P solutions. Valora works contextually, understands free text, speech, and documents, and integrates seamlessly into existing ERP and procurement landscapes. Instead of additional tools or click paths, the agent operates in the background, handling operational routines while humans retain control and strategic decision-making. A key differentiator is data sovereignty by design: Valora runs exclusively on dedicated infrastructure in Germany, with clear client separation and no data outflow to third countries – designed for regulated industries, critical infrastructure, and demanding medium-sized businesses. act.Valora stands for: Less clicking. More thinking. An AI agent that measurably relieves the burden on purchasing and finance – pragmatic, secure and ready to become the new standard.
