accompio strengthens AI offering for businesses – Kern AI to operate under the accompio AI brand in the future 

Potsdam, 1 May 2026 IT service provider accompio is strengthening its AI offering and realigning its previous Core AI activities under the accompio AI brand. As part of this realignment, Core AI GmbH has been merged with Netz16 GmbH under the accompio umbrella from a legal entity perspective. In parallel, the company is consolidating its services into a new AI-as-a-Service portfolio, which supports organisations in the implementation and secure operation of AI applications. The offering is aimed equally at enterprise and SME customers. 

Many companies recognise the potential of AI but face the challenge of identifying suitable use cases and integrating them securely into their existing IT landscape. 

„Companies no longer want to just test AI today but want to deploy it productively. With our AI-as-a-Service approach, we support organisations in introducing AI in a structured way and creating concrete added value in everyday work.“

– Henrik Wenck
(Founder of Kern AI)

„With external AI chatbots, there's a risk that sensitive content such as code, customer data, or internal documents could be unintentionally transferred to third-party systems, posing a significant threat to data protection and trade secrets. With our in-house platform „Confidential GPT,” we significantly reduce these risks while simultaneously enabling practical and secure use of AI.“

Johannes Hötter
(Founder of Kern AI)

Four Building Blocks for a Successful AI Journey 

The new accompio AI portfolio is structured into four core building blocks, supporting businesses throughout their entire AI journey:

AI Use Case Development AI maturity assessment, prioritisation of use cases and structured pilot planning. From the free initial assessment to the concrete pilot blueprint with scope, roadmap and effort estimation.

Confidential AI Secure AI workspace for productive use in the company. From protected internal chat to integration into Teams & Co. through to a central platform with access to company knowledge and specialised bots.

Knowledge Management: Automation of requests, document and email processes using AI-based classification, data extraction and analysis – including dashboards for transparency on volume, trends and quality. 

AI Training: E-learning, workshops and hackathons for the practical implementation of AI in companies. From essentials for safe use to the joint development of initial prototypes. 

Focus on practically applicable AI applications

With the new portfolio, accompio is targeting companies that want to integrate AI into their business processes in a structured, secure, and compliance-compliant manner. The company is also organising the AI Revolution Day, where companies can learn about practical AI applications and cross-industry use cases. 

Accomplishment AI

The former Kern AI GmbH has been transferred to Netz16 GmbH (a subsidiary of accompio GmbH) as part of a corporate merger. AI services and offerings will henceforth be bundled and continued under the brand accompio AI within the accompio Group. Kern AI was founded in 2020 and acquired by the accompio Group in May 2025. The platform enables specialist departments to precisely supply Large Language Models with company knowledge and to build chatbots using a modular principle – from insurance tariffs to regulatory guidelines. Customers include Markel Insurance SE, HDI Global Specialty, and Nürnberger Versicherung, among others. The platform continues to support companies in the secure, efficient, and practical use of AI applications.
