We make machines understand language so that humans can achieve more.
LLMs Run Deep In Our History
We founded deepset in 2018, the year of the first large language model.
Within three weeks after Google had released their breakthrough BERT model, we trained a BERT model in the German language from scratch.
Starting out as a professional services business, we applied our NLP expertise working with large enterprise customers such as Airbus and Siemens.
Along the way, we shared our knowledge through Haystack, an Open Source Python framework that quickly became the industry standard for semantic search and question answering.
Today, we are providing developers at enterprises with the tools they need to build successful applications with large language models.
Our Mission
We empower developers to make NLP part of every application in every enterprise.
Language will be the interface to every kind of data.
At deepset, we focus on paving the way to this by building Haystack - the Open Source framework that makes it possible for every developer to power software and products with State-of-the-Art Natural Language Processing.
But this is not where it ends: it is not just about the tech stack but also about the workflows and the organizational complexity.
Developers are also the convergence between tech and the actual adoption of enterprises - a lot is needed to make them succeed and we do everything to enable them to do so!

1 / 3
Pros
I worked as an intern/working student at deepset. I really appreciated that the entire company treated me as a “full member” and engaged me in decision-making. The company has an educational atmosphere allowing me and my colleagues to learn a lot and develop ourselves. During my work at deepset, I was able to take on a lot of responsibility while being supported with steady feedback sessions. The team spirit is great -- the entire team is very collaborative and highly motivated.
Cons
As deepset is a start-up there is less structure and working at deepset can be more dynamic than in larger companies. However, for me, this is also a pro as it provides more freedom and allows you to engage in defining structures and processes.
