59 percent of people in Germany aged 14 and over use AI tools at least occasionally, according to the ARD/ZDF media study 2026. Among 14- to 29-year-olds the figure is 92 percent, among those over 70 just 15. Hardly anyone trusts the tools blindly, though: 54 percent see them as instruments whose output has to be checked when in doubt. 81 percent consider source attribution important or very important, yet only 43 percent of users find the sources behind AI tools transparent.
Our take: the study answers a question that comes up in every AI project – how much automation people are willing to hand to an AI. They already use it; they just want to keep the final say. That is why we build systems in which the machine proposes, shows its sources, and a person approves. Not out of excess caution, but because that is what users expect.
With taktoro.de and taktoro.com, our new product for companies in Germany is live: time tracking that checks every entry against the German Working Hours Act (ArbZG) before it is saved. Breaks, rest periods, maximum working hours and the record-keeping duty are built in, not booked as add-ons. Developed and hosted in Hamburg.
From 11 to 14 September we're at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam — no booth of our own, but you'll find us hanging around the German Pavilion at the RAI most of the time. We're there to network: catching up with partners, customers and friends from the broadcast and media industry. If you're around too, get in touch.
MJML turns a simple markup language into responsive HTML email, usually with a Node toolchain doing the work behind it. We ported it to PHP end to end: php-mjml/php-mjml needs no Node.js, no second runtime in the deployment. It has rendered this website's emails since February; as of this week it's open under the MIT licence for anyone to use.
