Overview

muffintech is a Berlin-based customer engagement platform for the insurance industry, providing conversational AI tools for insurance brokers, broker pools, and carriers. The company develops AION, a domain-specific large language model trained on over 30,000 insurance-specific conversations, enabling automated handling of customer queries, policy search, objection handling, and benefit comparisons.

The platform is delivered as a SaaS solution with a modular architecture, allowing clients to begin with a core deployment and expand through specialized modules covering direct sales, after-sales service, and internal sales enablement. The system integrates with broker and carrier platforms, includes GDPR-compliant data handling, and provides failsafe routing to human operators. AION passed Germany's 34D insurance intermediary certification exam with 98% accuracy, demonstrating its domain coverage.

Founded in 2021, muffintech raised a EUR 3.5M seed round in February 2025 led by ff Venture Capital and Techstars, with additional backing from Investitionsbank Berlin and angel investors from the German insurance sector. The company serves clients including broker pool PMA, and has proof-of-concept engagements with top-20 DACH insurers. It has also begun initial customer relationships in Poland and Western Europe.
