Cities & municipalities
Smart city without a seven-figure budget. Decisions based on real data, supported by AI that thinks along instead of just storing.
crAIze Labs is building craize.io – a platform with fully integrated AI for cities, clubs and organisations. What used to be complex, expensive and slow becomes simple.
Most systems in the public sector were built for a world without AI. We build for the world after. From scratch. No legacy. No excuses.
Cities, clubs and organisations struggle with the same things: too much admin, too little time, tools that cost too much. That's exactly where we start.
Smart city without a seven-figure budget. Decisions based on real data, supported by AI that thinks along instead of just storing.
Volunteers deserve better tools. Less paperwork, fewer evenings at the desk, more time for what the club is really about.
For everyone who has to bring processes, data and people together – without drowning in a dozen tools.
Most platforms get AI retrofitted. craize.io was built around it from the very first line. The result: things that used to take weeks and five-figure budgets become routine.
Cities, clubs, organisations, data and people form a network. craize.io sits in the middle – and brings AI into every connection. Go ahead, drag the nodes around.
craize wasn't born on a drawing board, but from first-hand experience of how municipalities really work – and from the conviction that artificial intelligence must not be an add-on, but the foundation.
Managing Director & Co-Founder · Enterprise Architect
Alex knows both sides. As Digital City Officer and deputy to the Lord Mayor, he knows how municipalities work and where digital initiatives fail. As an Enterprise Architect, Senior Consultant and Global Head of Infrastructure, he has designed and been responsible for large IT landscapes. From this combination he began architecting a new kind of smart city platform – with artificial intelligence as its foundation.
Managing Director & Co-Founder · Enterprise Architect
In Stephan, Alex found the right partner: also an Enterprise Architect, but with a strong focus on AI architectures, which he developed as AI & Product Lead for Cofinity-X among others. Holding a PhD in computer science, he has been working with artificial intelligence for many years, particularly in data science – a focus that also shaped his time as Head of R&D Enterprise Architecture for Dow AgroSciences in Indianapolis, USA.
Municipal practice, enterprise architecture and deep AI expertise in one team: the founders' combined experience is what makes craize unique.
