About PILOT
Built by someone who needed it.
PILOT was not born in a lab. It was born out of desperation.
The Problem
For over 20 years, I ran a treasury management consultancy. I worked with banks, corporates, and financial institutions across the DACH region. I know what it means to run a business where every decision matters and every missed email costs money.
Then I started an AI company on top of it. Suddenly I was managing two businesses, five email accounts, Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, back-to-back meetings, and a constant stream of information that never stopped growing. I was drowning in exactly the kind of noise that makes smart people miss important things.
The Realization
What I needed was a chief of staff. Someone who reads everything, connects the dots, and tells me what matters before I ask. But a human chief of staff costs $150K/year or more. For a founder running two businesses? That math does not work.
So I asked a different question: what if AI could do this? Not a chatbot. Not another tool that adds to the noise. A system that actually manages information for you.
The Build
I come from an electrical engineering background. I have been building things my entire career. When I saw what large language models could do, I knew it was possible to build a system that understands context, connects information across channels, and delivers clarity instead of complexity.
PILOT is the result. It reads your emails, listens to your meetings, captures your voice notes, logs your decisions, and builds a knowledge graph of your entire business. Every morning, it tells you the 7 things that matter. Nothing else.
“I built PILOT because I was drowning. 5 email accounts. Teams. Slack. WhatsApp. Back-to-back meetings. I run a consultancy and an AI startup. I needed a chief of staff — but I couldn’t justify $150K/year.
So I built one.”

NOVELDO AI
NOVELDO AI GmbH is a German AI consultancy based in Munich. We build AI systems that manage information for busy executives and founders. PILOT is our flagship product. All data is hosted in the EU on Microsoft Azure. DSGVO compliance is not an afterthought — it is how we build everything.
The Vision
Most AI tools add to the noise. Another dashboard. Another notification. Another app to check. We believe AI should do the opposite: it should reduce the noise. It should manage information for you, not give you more of it.
PILOT is AI that works for you, not the other way around. Start every day knowing exactly what matters.
