About Gaius AI

Founded in 2023, Gaius AI develops an AI platform for food extrusion based on its patented Smart Extrusion™ technology. The platform sets new standards for the intelligent, sustainable production of food by placing data rather than machines at the center of production. The technology reduces raw material waste, shortens changeover times, increases machine capacity, and eliminates manual operation; according to the company, production costs can be reduced by up to 15%. Extrusion converts raw materials into products with fibrous, elastic textures using heat, pressure, and shear forces, and is the fundamental technology for mass-market products such as snacks, breakfast cereals, pasta, animal feed, and meat alternatives. The interdisciplinary team combines data science, biochemistry, food engineering, and AI with the goal of decentralizing food production, minimizing waste, and improving production stability. The company employs 11–50 people and has locations in Freising near Munich (Germany) and Caesarea (Israel).
