Klang offers an AI transcription and meeting summary service where all data stays within the EU. 

“The demand for European alternatives in AI has never been greater. More and more users are looking for services that prioritize privacy and local accountability. To meet that demand, we’re raising SEK 8 million to accelerate our development and to build smarter, faster, and with our users at the center.”

says Niklas Silfverström, co-founder

After a rapid uptick in adoption, Klang is expanding its team and preparing for international growth. Norway is already live, with Denmark and Germany up next.

“Our long-term goal isn’t just for Klang to be an alternative. It’s to set a new standard for what AI can look like when it respects users from day one.”

Klang.ai’s Role in Social Services

Klang.ai’s AI program transcribes, summarizes, and makes lengthy client conversations searchable, offering significant benefits in areas like child assessments where sensitive topics are discussed and extensive documentation is required. The technology aims to streamline administrative tasks, allowing social secretaries to focus more on client interactions and support.

“After working with this system, it will be hard to go back.”

said Sakarias Adlouni, a social secretary involved, to SVT.

The recorded conversations are promptly deleted once documented, ensuring privacy and data security.

Transforming Social Services

The social services sector faces significant challenges, with extensive documentation requirements making the profession less attractive. Innovation leader Martina Avasoo Barte sees Klang.ai’s solution as a potential game-changer.

“We’re immensely proud to team up with the City of Helsingborg. By helping social secretaries save valuable time, they can invest that time supporting more citizens. This collaboration demonstrates clearly how secure, high-end AI can directly contribute to social good, aligning perfectly with our mission at Klang.ai.”

says Niklas Silfverström, co-founder at Klang.ai

Navigating Legal and Security Challenges

Implementing AI in social services requires rigorous data security measures. The City of Helsingborg is carefully navigating the legal complexities involved, with other municipalities closely monitoring the outcomes. Helsingborg has a reputation for trying and testing new innovative services, and pushing the boundaries of the regulatory system.

“There is significant interest from other municipalities in how we are addressing these issues,”

said Martina Avasoo Barte, Innovation leader at City of Helsingborg to SVT.

Klang.ai’s involvement in this pilot project represents a significant step forward in integrating AI into social services, potentially transforming how documentation and client interactions are managed in the future.

said Klang AI CEO Niklas Silfverström

The company is focusing on growth in Europe, with near-term interest in the Netherlands, Norway, and other Nordic markets. Klang AI secured its first client in the Netherlands last autumn, marking its initial step toward international expansion.

In a recent article with Rapidus co-founder Niklas Silfverström states that Klang.ai’s vision is to drastically reduce manual tasks surrounding interviews, aiming to cut down on hours spent planning, transcribing, and analyzing to just minutes.

“We have invested a lot in finding use cases that we are really good at and landed in interview transcription. We also believe there is a need for local actors who achieve really good results in smaller languages ​​such as Swedish and other Nordic languages. Several customers have benchmarked us against the giants and stated that our results are the best,”

said Niklas to Rapidus

With nearly 27.000 users and a few hundred paying customers, the startup’s revenue is on track to reach € 500.000 (SEK 5 million) in 2024, meeting operational costs. Revenue is projected to double in 2025, driven by a focus on the legal, journalism, research, and public sectors. Swedish Tech News earlier reported that Klang.ai has received around € 500.000 (SEK 5 million) in funding, helping fuel its mission to be the go-to solution for secure AI-driven transcription in Europe.
