Vision

Let’s make repair the norm again! - In a world full of electronic devices that often end up often thrown away after a short time, we are setting an example with our innovative approach: Our answer to the growing challenge of e-waste prevention is a clever chatbot that guides users through the repair process of technical household appliances and empowers them to to lend a hand themselves. Whether it's diagnosing problems independently or finding the right spare parts and services - our tool makes it simple and accessible.

We empower people to act sustainably in a fun and easy way.

Our Solution

We’re building a platform. At the core is a repair chatbot using existing large language models and feeding them with repair knowledge from independent repair companies. But the actual value lies in the connection to repair services and spare-parst retailers, so that our tool guides you through the whole journey of repair:

1. fault diagnosis: recognising the problem through smart questions.
2. decision making: Providing information, including CO2 emissions and prices for different options.
3. support for self-repair vs. profesional repair: access to spare parts or the option of forwarding the issue to independent repair companies.

We earn money through selling spare-parts and tools and taking comissions for repair orders. Therefore, the end-user does not have to pay for the information and guidance itself.

When our first prototype is built based on text, we plan to integrate voice control to allow a “live” conversation. Later we will then also integrate visuals through 3D-Models of the devices.

We just got our preliminary approval for the EXIST scholarship, which funds 3 persons with 2,500€ per month for a year and grants additionally 35,000€ for equipment and third-party services. This will start in January or February.

Our Culture

Is there a culture with only two people? Let’s build one that makes us thrive!
