AI that makes complex B2B sales simple.

With FoxBases AI Sales Advisor platform companies can set up their own AI Product Expert built for the real world of enterprise and Mittelstand companies.

We help companies turn complex product portfolios and consultation-heavy sales into fully digital AI-powered experiences without compromising on quality compliance or control. Our platform combines retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with proven selection configuration and calculation technology to deliver precise explainable and compliant answers across websites, chatbots and digital channels.

Unlike most AI tools built for big tech budgets FoxBase empowers every company to deploy high-impact trustworthy AI that meets GDPR and ISO 27001 standards from day one. We make cutting‑edge AI accessible, secure and enterprise‑ready – strengthening the competitiveness of Germany and Europe in the new AI era.

Who we are

Founded in Düsseldorf, we’ve grown into a fast‑moving team of engineers, product minds and builders driven by curiosity and precision.

We value speed, ownership and quality but also team spirit, flexibility and foresight – our five FoxBase core values that shape how we build, ship and grow.

Our customers include some of Europe’s most innovative industrial and technology leaders. Together we’re redefining what AI‑driven sales means in highly regulated environments, combining enterprise‑grade security with modern AI orchestration.

• Create transparency by LLM‑tracing and logging along entire chat conversations to identify potential risks early of degrading answer quality.
• Optimize and extend our dashboard‑and reporting functionalities that create transparency about measurable answer accuracy, performance and value delivered by our AI.
• Ensure high performance and reliability of our Python‑based backend‑services which power our API and give our customers direct access to our AI.
• Build and optimise data pipelines that integrate data from external sources (e.g. PIM, DAM, Blob Storage, FTP servers) and internal sources (e.g. S3, Databases, API).
• Improve our Webscraping‑Technology to allow easy and automated integration of website content for our customers.
• Manage AWS infrastructure using Terraform and ensure cost‑efficient, secure and highly available deployments.
• Contribute directly to quarterlyRs with clear milestones and measurable results.
• Deliver changes with appropriate tests (unit/integration) and reduce regressions through disciplined engineering practices.
• Build with a strong product mindset: clarify the why, propose smart trade‑offs and iterate post‑release based on outcomes.
