About Us

Policy lived.
AI built.
Problem named.

EU affairs teams don't suffer from a lack of information. They suffer from the cost of interpreting it. We built Thembi because we'd lived inside that problem long enough — and saw that AI was finally good enough to do something about it, if you grounded it properly.

Our Mission

Built because we got tired of the seven tabs

News feeds open. Official sources open. Procedure trackers open. A spreadsheet to track which version of an amendment is current. A second screen with the hearing playing in the background. Notes from a call with the rapporteur's office. All of it consulted on a Friday afternoon to write a one-page brief that is due in an hour. We've been there. Thembi is not another stream pouring into that. It's the thing you ask instead.

Adapts to how you work

Built around the way EU affairs people actually move through a file — not the way a dashboard vendor wishes they did.

Cuts through the noise

Your persona keeps what's relevant and drops the rest. You spend the hour on the brief, not on finding it.

Grounded by design

Every answer carries the source it came from. If we don't have a source, we don't have an answer — and we tell you so.

Secure & scalable

Enterprise-grade security, optional API access, and the same engine whether one consultant uses it or a forty-person team does.

The Team

The people behind
Thembi

Two founders from worlds that rarely speak to each other — twenty years of EU law on one side, twenty years of building software on the other. Plus a small pan-European team who use the product as much as they build it.

Co-Founder

Product & Marketing

Fifteen years building software at the edge of technology — of which ten years in advertising and marketing technology. Teaches AI to professionals who didn't write code yesterday. Pushes for products that answer the question, not the brief.

Business Development

With over two decades of experience in business development and enterprise sales, specialises in bringing innovative technology solutions to complex, highly regulated industries - helping organisations navigate change and find smarter ways to operate.

A small pan-European team spans Italy, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and the UK — political scientists, lawyers, technologists. We share a working assumption: the institutions are doing complicated work, the people who follow them deserve tools that make the complexity legible, not louder.

Skip the routine. Keep the judgement.

Thembi reads what you'd otherwise be scrolling through, and tells you what your client needs to hear.
