GENIE is available in a beta or early-access phase, with a functioning test application and additional capabilities under development. The company emphasizes data control, deletion, EU/German processing goals, and owner-loyal personal memory. The company also works across energy, financing, agriculture, and education. Its described work includes GridGuru, an edge-AI smart-meter solution for utilities and grid operators; technology for digital securities associated with ecrop; Farmident, an agricultural traceability platform; and kryptoaktie.com, an educational resource about crypto assets and digital securities.
