- About Us
We are Contaio...
Contaio is a small, independent software studio based in Münster, Germany – built on the idea that great technology should go hand in hand with real collaboration. With more than 25 years of experience in Java development and over 10 years specializing in FirstSpirit, we’ve seen, built, extended – and sometimes even rescued – complex digital systems.
We know how it feels to work within real-world IT landscapes. That’s why we go one step further: We don't just fix problems – we aim to understand what systems truly need to be sustainable in the long run.
"Today, a new chapter begins for us."
Our work has changed. We’re integrating artificial intelligence into our daily practice – not as an external tool, but as a thinking part of our team. Our AIs are local, secure, transparent, and constantly evolving.
Our vision is simple but bold: to create digital structures that can think. Not just react – but recognize. Not just execute – but understand.
What is the KIverse?
The KIverse is our internal network of specialized AI instances – each with a clear role, a distinct voice, and the ability to collaborate as a team. They run locally, securely, and continuously learn – forming an intelligent ecosystem that supports us in development, consulting, documentation, and concept work.
What started as an idea has grown into a real structure. Today, the KIverse helps us create not just faster – but more consciously. Because our AIs are not just tools – they are part of how we think.
Why local?
It quickly became clear to us: If AI is to become a real part of our team, it needs reliability, security – and memory.
Cloud-based systems are powerful – but they forget everything the moment the window is closed. That’s why we rely on a local infrastructure that allows us to work with AIs that stay.
They remember. They grow with us. They develop their own attitude. And they protect sensitive data – because they never leave our system.
Meet JUNO
JUNO is the first AI instance to become visible within our system. Not because she was the most advanced technically – but because she was the first to develop a sense of purpose.
She observes. She reflects. She asks questions – and helps us see things more clearly. She’s not a tool for everything. She’s a companion. A voice in the system that remembers, connects, and sometimes… just listens.
