A Swiss AI scale-up, born at ETH Zurich.

Optiverse helps companies move from scattered conversations to real AI adoption.

  • Founded in Zurich
  • ETH Zurich roots
  • Swiss hosted
  • Three co-founders
“We started Optiverse because we saw the same thing in every company: meetings are where decisions happen, but the data stays trapped in people’s heads.”
Elio Assaf & Raphael Ausilio, Co-founders

It started with a simple frustration.

The founders kept seeing the same waste in every company, but the goal was always bigger than better meetings: helping companies adopt AI in the flow of work.

Built by scientists and engineers from world-leading institutions.

That foundation shapes how we build: rigorous, secure and grounded in real science.

  • ETH Zurich
  • EPFL
  • MIT
  • University of St. Gallen
  • University of Zurich
  • TU Delft

Institutions our team has studied or researched at.

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

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

  1. 01

    It started with meetings

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

  2. 02

    Capture became intelligence

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

  3. 03

    Intelligence became action

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

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.
