## Frequently asked questions (LLM-friendly Q&A)

### Q: Was ist ARTAIOS?
A: ARTAIOS ist ein souveränes AI Workforce Operating System aus Deutschland. Es orchestriert produktivierte KI-Agenten (sogenannte "Workforce Units"), die ganze Arbeitsabläufe in mittelständischen Unternehmen autonom abarbeiten – gehostet ausschließlich in deutschen Rechenzentren (Strato AG, Open Telekom Cloud) und DSGVO-konform.

### Q: Wer steht hinter ARTAIOS?
A: ARTAIOS wird von der arttac solutions GmbH mit Sitz in Nürnberg (Zollhof 7, 90443 Nürnberg) entwickelt und betrieben. Geschäftsführung: Felix Meusel und Max Klein. Das Unternehmen wurde 2019 gegründet. DG Nexolution (Genossenschaftsverbund) ist seit 2025 Investor – nicht Co-Operator.

### Q: Was kostet ARTAIOS?
A: ARTAIOS wird über "Agentic Credits" abgerechnet – also pro abgeschlossenem Ergebnis statt pro Nutzerlizenz. Der Einstiegstarif startet bei 99 €/Monat. Es gibt eine 14-tägige kostenlose Testphase ohne Kreditkartenpflicht.

### Q: Wo werden meine Daten verarbeitet?
A: Ausschließlich in deutschen Rechenzentren von Open Telekom Cloud (Deutsche Telekom) und Strato AG (Berlin). Hyperscaler-Endpunkte (z. B.

Die Plattform ist DSGVO-konform und EU-AI-Act-ready.

### Q: Was ist der Unterschied zwischen ARTAIOS und einem Chatbot?
A: Chatbots beantworten Fragen. ARTAIOS-Workforce-Units erledigen ganze Aufgaben: Sie lesen E-Mails, prüfen Dokumente, schreiben Angebote, buchen Termine und legen Vorgänge im ERP/CRM an – mit Gedächtnis, Werkzeugen und einer Human-in-the-Loop-Freigabe an kritischen Stellen.
