Our story

It started with a simple frustration.

The founding team kept seeing the same waste across companies — but the ambition was always broader than fixing it one meeting at a time: help companies adopt AI in the flow of work.

Where the vision took us

From a note-taker to a company's AI adoption engine.

The product expanded in clear steps, from capture to knowledge to action.

It started with meetings

Teams were losing hours to notes, follow-up, and missing context. Meetings were the obvious place to start.

Capture became intelligence

Captured conversations became a searchable layer of company knowledge, not just transcripts in a folder.

Intelligence became action

Optiverse now turns conversations into workflows, briefs, and updates, with teams staying in control.

Why Switzerland, why ETH

Swiss roots are not a flag. They are how we build.

Our ETH Zurich roots show up in the product itself: rigorous engineering, trust, and discretion where conversations matter most.

An ETH Zurich starting point

Optiverse began in the Swiss research ecosystem, with roots at ETH Zurich and links to EPFL, HSG, and HEC Lausanne.

Swiss by engineering, not just by label

Built and hosted in Switzerland, under strict privacy standards. Trust is part of the architecture.

Precision as a default

Accuracy, reliability, and discretion are the baseline when AI touches sensitive conversations.
