BirdsAI was created by Benedikt Rank and Shahab Mirzai who both studied at the Technical University of Munich. Both worked at Archer Daniels Midland Company, where they were struck by the inefficiencies they observed in the day-to-day operations. A significant amount of order-related outbound communication was sent via emails, which led to a flooded email inbox. BirdsAI was created to bring more structure into email inboxes.

While Shahab worked as a Product Manager at Trade Republic and StudySmarter and drives our product, Benedikt worked on computational models, spiking neural networks, and application of NLP/NLU models, and drives our software and AI development.
