We are now 9brains: Octopus AI operates under a new name starting in May
We have news: from May 1, 2026, we officially operate as 9brains GmbH. The previous business operations of Tech Advisors become a standalone company with a new name, a new logo and its own billing address. The platform, your familiar team and our collaboration remain unchanged.
Why 9brains?
Section titled “Why 9brains?”You know our previous namesake: the octopus. What many people do not know: an octopus has nine brains, one central brain plus one in each of its eight arms. This distributed, highly adaptive intelligence describes pretty accurately how our platform works: many specialized heads that work together, hand off to each other and adapt flexibly to any situation.
The new name captures this principle precisely, and as a side benefit, “9brains” lets us sleep much more soundly from a trademark perspective than “Octopus AI” did. Our octopus stays with us, by the way, as a brand mascot. It has been part of our identity from day one, and it will remain so under the new roof.
What stays the same
Section titled “What stays the same”- Your team: your familiar contacts are still there for you, unchanged
