Building personal AI infrastructure that adapts to human needs
IUMI Technologies is building secure AI infrastructure, including personal network Aven and ethOS, to give digital agents stable memory and identity.

As artificial intelligence applications proliferate across modern enterprise and consumer software ecosystems, most digital tools still require human users to adapt to rigid systems. Founded in Rome in 2025 by Karim Aoudj and Gabriele Mottola, IUMI Technologies was established to invert this operational balance. The Italian startup focuses on building software solutions integrated with high-performance hardware systems, creating custom technology that aligns directly with specific human needs. Rather than relying on generic models that ignore personal context, the company designs infrastructure where digital identity, memory, and security remain continuously centred around the individual user.
The core approach at IUMI Technologies balances deep architectural research with strategic market execution. Gabriele Mottola leads the technical vision, managing complex system architecture and integrating custom software into high-performance hardware environments. Karim Aoudj directs the operational strategy and brand identity, translating theoretical research into commercial software products for both B2B and B2C clients. Together, the founders have focused on solving structural gaps in the global IT market by combining rapid software deployments with robust hardware systems that guarantee consistent performance over time.
At the centre of their product ecosystem is Aven, a personal artificial intelligence network engineered to adapt to human behavior. Complementing Aven, IUMI Technologies developed Hermes, an outbound outreach platform equipped with prospect discovery capabilities that operate under full GDPR compliance. The engineering team is also developing ethOS, an ambitious operating system built on ASP specifically for autonomous artificial intelligence agents. Designed to maintain stable agent identities over long periods, ethOS includes protected memory modules and structural security blocks that prevent outside manipulation attempts.
Validation for the Roman technology firm has gathered momentum across Italian and European innovation communities. Aven recently secured top honours by winning the Search On prize at the Genesis Accel On showcase in Rome, earning a dedicated exhibition space at the AI Festival 2027 in Milan. The company has also gained attention in prominent national publications, including la Repubblica and Il Sole 24 Ore, which highlighted the firm's focus on technological sovereignty and custom enterprise software development.
Looking toward future growth, IUMI Technologies is expanding its reach onto the global stage through its selection for Web Summit 2026 in Lisbon. Representing Italian innovation as part of the official collective organised by the Italian Trade Agency, Karim Aoudj and Gabriele Mottola will present Aven and ethOS to international investors and technical leaders. By pairing tailored hardware systems with sovereign, security-focused artificial intelligence networks, the Roman startup is proving that the future of digital tools lies in building software that truly resembles the people who rely on it.
