Wir sehen nur, was wir kennen

Put ten people in a room to decide a company's future. Some argue from experience, some from research. All of them hit the same wall, and it has nothing to do with how smart they are. That wall is why we built Gopf.

We can only see what we know.

If you have never heard of something, it will not pop up in your head. The smartest person in the room reads straight past the thing they never knew to look for.

This is where the machine helps.

It reads and classifies a huge amount of information very quickly, and it grasps a wider spectrum than any single person could.

It is a bit biased and might hallucinate a bit, but it still shows you things you never thought of or had already set aside.

Take a niche topic like data centers on the moon.

Right now, a handful of people talk about it. But when enough people start talking, politics and research follow, and suddenly a movement forms around what only outsiders were promoting a year earlier.

So you use the machine to collect the whole niche.

But as soon as you derive instructions for action, that is a different job.

We call it a decision support system. It throws everything that matters at you, backed by the evidence we have seen in the market. Then it stops.

We actually don't want the user to "click the button and accept it," as that is the good old way. We want the user to read it carefully and accept it

The machine only makes sure you saw it first.
