What we offer

SicherChat provides German SMEs with a locally operated, secure, and cost-efficient AI platform. We deliver a local ChatGPT alternative and develop customized AI systems (e.g., for employee assistance, customer service, and technical support).

Our unique selling proposition is 100% data sovereignty, as the software and necessary hardware are operated directly within the customer's IT environment. This is made possible by our proprietary RAGnRoll Framework for the rapid and quality-assured development of AI solutions.

Target group

The primary target audience is manufacturing and technology-oriented Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs/Mittelstand) in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). These companies rely on trade secrets, construction data, and process knowledge, making data sovereignty a critical competitive advantage. Secondarily, we address sectors with similarly high compliance requirements, such as law firms and financial service providers.

Challenges

The main challenge lies in overcoming the market’s fundamental lack of trust and concerns regarding quality and cost-efficiency in AI adoption. According to an MIT report, 95% of chatbot projects fail due to these issues. Additionally, we must continuously demonstrate a superior, secure alternative to large US providers to eliminate the existential data sovereignty risk posed by the US CLOUD Act for our clients.

Our Story

The idea originated from founder Jan Albrecht’s deep specialization in Generative AI, which culminated in his 2024/2025 Master's thesis developing a quality assurance framework for AI chatbots - the proprietary RAGnRoll Framework. He identified a critical market shift: smaller, powerful Open-Source models enable genuine data sovereignty. The AI startup landscape sets its focus to easy AI development, but the real need is AI quality assurance, which we provide with our internal framework.
To execute this vision, he partnered with Felix Wiedemann (a former business partner) and Sven Starzer (a long term colleague) to combine technological excellence with business acumen and deliver a high-quality, secure AI solution.
