Kiwilogic

Kiwilogic.com AG was a German conversational-AI pioneer founded in 1999 in Hamburg, with a secondary office in London. It built the Lingubot platform, one of the earliest commercial natural-language dialogue engines for the web, which let online businesses deploy interactive virtual characters that acted as store greeter, customer-support agent, product specialist and entertainer across web sites and mobile messaging channels. The company was backed by Earlybird Venture Capital (approximately $5.2M reported) and won a best-German-startup award in 2000. The Lingubot business was acquired in the mid-2000s and folded into Artificial Solutions, whose Teneo conversational-AI and voice-AI platform is the commercial successor; the kiwilogic.com domain now issues a blanket redirect to teneo.ai. Kiwilogic operates no independent developer portal, documentation, or API surface today, and this profile is maintained as a historical company record within the API Evangelist network rather than as an active API provider.

Kiwilogic is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Conversational AI, Chatbots, Natural Language Processing, and Virtual Agents.
