Smart city platform · Kaufbeuren, Germany · In formation

We break the rules. Not the budget.

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.

01 — Attitude

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.

02 — Who it's for

One platform. Three worlds with more in common than you'd think.

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.

/ 01

Cities & municipalities

Smart city without a seven-figure budget. Decisions based on real data, supported by AI that thinks along instead of just storing.

/ 02

Clubs & associations

Volunteers deserve better tools. Less paperwork, fewer evenings at the desk, more time for what the club is really about.

/ 03

Organisations

For everyone who has to bring processes, data and people together – without drowning in a dozen tools.

03 — Platform

craize.io
AI. Not bolted on. Built in.

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.

  • Fully integrated AI – at the core of the platform, not an add-on
  • Massively lower costs compared to the traditional way
  • One login for everything – built for cities, clubs and organisations
04 — Connected

Everything is connected. We make it visible.

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.

05 — Origin

Two architects. One idea.

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.

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.

Dr. Stephan Philippi

Managing Director & Co-Founder · Enterprise Architect

  • Director Enterprise Architecture
  • AI & Product Lead

  • PhD in Computer Science

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.
