About livestep: AI With Strategy. Without Complexity.

Florian loves simplifying complex matters. Why perform a task manually when it can be automated? And why not eliminate the task entirely?

As managing director of a fully digitalized audit and consulting firm, then as a partner and finally COO at an international professional services firm, he lived this passion.

Florian Lang is a pioneer of AI in business informatics, having published a book in 2008 based on his research into knowledge-based AI bots. Since then, he has successfully introduced automation solutions to companies.

As AI Lead at livestep.ai, Florian brings his expertise in AI, automation, and management to the development of our products. His diverse background uniquely enables him to combine creative technological problem-solving with process understanding and compliance orientation.

Privately, Florian lives with his family in beautiful Nuremberg, enjoying nature on his mountain bike.

For over two decades, I have been supporting companies in their digital transformation — from architecting complex platforms to developing intelligent, AI-based systems.

In 1996, I founded my first company in the field of IT and software solutions. In 2004, I expanded the business to include hosting and infrastructure services, covering the operation, maintenance, and scaling of demanding system landscapes. Over the years, I’ve been responsible for a wide range of projects — for owner-managed SMEs as well as international corporations such as Porsche, Aldi Süd, Husqvarna, and Müller Drogeriemarkt.

Today, my clear focus is on developing intelligent, AI-powered automation solutions. I design and implement systems that optimize processes, support decision-making, or generate content — seamlessly integrated into existing digital ecosystems.

One key advantage: my deep technical understanding from over 40 years of development experience — combined with hands-on expertise in integrating applications, interfaces, and system architectures (including e-commerce platforms, CRM, ERP, and payment systems). This breadth enables me not only to design AI solutions but to build them in a way that makes them performant, secure, and economically viable in real business processes.

I have been programming since I was eight years old — and with genuine passion. For me, technology is not an end in itself but a tool for concrete, effective problem-solving.

Today, I live with my family in Denmark — a bit off the beaten path, surrounded by nature. We manage our land based on permaculture principles, grow our own fruits and vegetables, and enjoy a slower-paced rural life. This grounded lifestyle gives me balance and clarity — and it also shapes my work: efficient, sustainable, and well thought-out.
