Company profile
researched Aug 2026Levity is a Berlin-founded software company that describes its product as "Communication Intelligence for the global supply chain." Its platform connects to the shared inboxes of logistics organizations, analyzes incoming email at scale, and turns recurring, high-volume communication workflows into AI automations that run alongside human operators. The product is organized around three stages: Analyze, where customers explore email volumes and categories (track and trace, booking, pricing and quoting, damage claims, customs, general inquiries), query operational data in natural language, and identify automation opportunities; Build, where teams assemble automation flows combining triggers, classifiers and AI actions such as generating draft replies, summarizing threads, extracting key dates and classifying priority; and Scale, where automations are governed through quality-control ticketing, feedback capture and human-in-the-loop review of AI decisions.
Stated use cases include spot quoting, order entry, track and trace, document handling, arrival notices, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The platform integrates with tools used by freight forwarders and logistics teams, including CargoWise, SAP, Outlook, Gmail and Zendesk, and the company offers custom integrations built by an in-house Forward Deployed Engineering team. Levity states that it is ISO 27001 certified, SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, and maintains a Trust Center for security documentation.
At launch the company had a broader, horizontal positioning: in 2021 it was presented as a no-code AI tool that let non-technical knowledge workers in customer service, marketing, operations and HR train custom models on their own historical data — images, text, PDFs and other unstructured documents — and connect them to tools such as Gmail, Dropbox and Slack.
Founding story
Levity was founded in 2018 by Gero Keil (CEO) and Thilo Hüllmann, and operated in stealth until announcing its pre-seed funding in January 2021. Keil described the founding motivation as freeing knowledge workers from boring, repetitive tasks that AI had long promised to automate but that remained out of reach for people who could not code.
Business model
Levity sells a software platform to enterprise logistics organizations, complemented by services from a Forward Deployed Engineering team that builds custom integrations and supports production rollouts. Engagements are described as beginning with a demo and a proof of concept.
Traction
The company states more than 100 million emails processed and reports operating AI in production across high-volume workflows, with public counters for emails processed, working hours saved, inboxes connected and live AI automations. Named customer testimonials come from a Head of Corporate Digital Services and a Chief Digital Officer describing use across global operations, alongside published case studies.
Latest developments
Levity presents a three-part platform covering inbox analytics, automation building and governance at scale, with integrations for CargoWise, SAP, Outlook, Gmail and Zendesk, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, and active hiring across forward deployed engineering, sales, customer success and product engineering.

Market position
Levity positions itself as an enterprise-grade layer for operating AI in production across complex, high-volume logistics communication workflows, emphasizing reliability, governance and security certifications. At its 2021 launch its founders identified the main competitive alternative as work done manually, with overlap against automated machine learning, workflow automation and labelling tools.
The company emphasizes redesigning operational workflows so humans and AI run them together rather than adding AI on top of existing processes, combined with analytics that quantify automation potential across millions of emails, human-in-the-loop quality control, logistics-specific integrations such as CargoWise, and a Forward Deployed Engineering team for custom deployments. Early positioning stressed abstracting away the machine-learning pipeline so non-developers could build and deploy their own AI automations.
Technology
The platform ingests email and attachments, classifies messages by subject and body into operational categories, and applies AI actions such as reply drafting, thread summarization and data extraction within configurable automation flows. It provides analytics dashboards over email volume and category mix, a natural-language interface for querying operational data, and quality-control and feedback tooling for human oversight and continuous improvement. Early versions let users train custom models by supplying examples of their own historical documents, images and text without writing code.
Go-to-market
Levity markets directly to enterprise logistics teams through demo requests and proof-of-concept projects, supported by customer case studies and testimonials from digital-services and digital-officer leaders at logistics organizations. It maintains sales roles including enterprise account executives and account managers in Europe.
Enterprise logistics teams, freight forwarders and large supply-chain organizations handling high volumes of operational email. At founding the product was aimed more broadly at non-technical knowledge workers at small and medium-sized businesses across customer service, marketing, operations and HR.
Geography
Berlin, Germany-based at founding; the team is distributed across the Americas, Europe and APAC, with open roles listed as remote in Germany, Europe, India and Brazil.
History
Founded in 2018 in Berlin, Levity emerged from stealth in January 2021 with $1.7 million in pre-seed funding led by Angular Ventures, initially offering a horizontal no-code platform for training custom AI models on unstructured data and integrating them into everyday tools. The company subsequently focused on logistics and the global supply chain, positioning its product as Communication Intelligence for enterprise logistics operations, and built out analytics, automation-building and governance modules plus a Forward Deployed Engineering function.
