Xayn has transitioned from a mobile privacy AI startup to Noxtua, focusing on sovereign AI for the legal field, having secured $92.2 million in Series B funding. The investment round was led by C.H. Beck, Germany's primary legal publisher, granting Noxtua vast access to Germany's legal repository. This new legal AI product, Beck-Noxtua, aims to research legal matters and draft compliant documents. With a deliberate choice of localized cloud infrastructure provided by Northern Data, Noxtua addresses compliance needs in the high-stakes German legal landscape.
Back in 2020, Xayn was a privacy-based, on-device AI startup designed specifically for smartphones, but that early experience eventually saw the company pivot into developing sovereign AI for the legal sphere.
Noxtua claims its highly specialized AI can research legal matters and analyze and draft legal documents, all in a legally compliant manner for customers including those based in Germany.
The addition of Northern Data is no coincidence. Beck-Noxtua will run as a sovereign AI on that company's cloud infrastructure, which is contained within Germany.
Dr. Leif-Nissen Lundbæk, CEO and Co-Founder of Noxtua, told TechCrunch over a call that Noxtua uses its own version of a transformer AI model, but one trained specifically on legal contracts.
