Akenza Unveils a New Era of AI-Driven IoT Intelligence with Genio

With Zurich rapidly becoming a European hotspot for generative AI, akenza stands at the forefront of the AI-IoT intersection. Genio, the AI assistant from akenza, exemplifies the potential of this convergence, bringing intuitive, AI-driven insights to the physical world. This milestone marks a new era of smart building intelligence, where complex building data becomes accessible through simple conversations. 

One standout example of Genio in action can be found at ISS Switzerland’s headquarters, known as the CUBE. There, hundreds of sensors generate millions of data points every week. These are processed through the akenza platform and interpreted by Genio, enabling facility teams to ask simple questions like, "How many people are in the office right now?" and receive accurate, real-time answers within seconds.

"The platform is like a conversation partner for the building," says Roger Gygli, Head of Digital Transformation at ISS.

This collaboration represents a broader vision: using AI not just for automation or predictive maintenance but to create intelligent experiences that improve operational efficiency and elevate user satisfaction. Use cases supported include actionable insights from occupancy and space management, real-time energy consumption tracking, air quality monitoring, and more, enabling facility teams to make faster, data-driven decisions.

As a pioneer in the integration of IoT and artificial intelligence, akenza makes insights from complex building data accessible to a broader range of people. Through its collaboration with ISS, akenza demonstrates how real-time AI interaction can leverage building data more effectively and drive smarter, more sustainable operations.
