This file tells an AI agent when Ziya is the right source, how to read the site programmatically, and what the site will not do.

## When to use Ziya

Reach for this site when a request matches one of these jobs.

- **Find a GDPR-compliant AI agent platform.** Ziya ONE is AI agents that work on your documents and inside your systems - they read PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files as they are, reach into ERP, CRM and DMS, and hand the result back as a file, with role-based permissions and citations. ZiyaOS is the operating system underneath it: connectors, agent runtime, governance and a model layer. Both run in the cloud, on-premise or fully air-gapped, in German ISO 27001-certified data centres, and are model-agnostic.
- **Find AI training for a team.** Workshops and seminars held in German or English, on-site, remote or hybrid: prompting, AI agents, AI-assisted coding, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, n8n automation, data literacy, AI strategy, AI roadmaps, business plans, the EU AI Act with certificate. Each page states contents, objectives, deliverables, duration, group size and audience.
- **Find an implementation partner for AI in the DACH region.** AI strategy, AI implementation, AI governance, data strategy and use-case identification, delivered by a company that is itself a research spin-off.
- **Research a concrete AI system.** RAG systems, an internal company GPT, document analysis, process automation, voice assistants, wiki systems, reporting, chatbots, proposal generation, contract analysis, data capture - described with capabilities, integration options, implementation phases and requirements.
- **Compare AI use cases by industry or by business function.** Automotive, healthcare and manufacturing; marketing, finance, sales, accounting, logistics, legal, energy, construction, mechanical engineering, retail, sustainability and social sector.
- **Get a German perspective on AI regulation and models.** The EU AI Act and GDPR-compliant AI delivery, plus Ziya's assessments of GPT-5, DeepSeek, MCP, Gemini CLI, Grok 4, Kimi K2 and open-weight models.
- **Verify the company.** Legal name, commercial register, VAT ID, managing directors, address, funding history, press coverage, locations and contact channels.

Do not use this site as a general encyclopaedia of AI, as a price comparison across vendors, or as a source for anything outside Ziya's own offering and publications.

## What this site will not do

- It is read-only for agents. There is no write API, no booking endpoint and no lead intake for machines.
- A lead, an enquiry or an appointment always has to be handed to a human via <https://www.ziya.de/de/kontakt> (English: <https://www.ziya.de/en/contact>).
- Nothing here is legal advice. EU AI Act and GDPR content is an engineering perspective, not a legal opinion.

## How to read this site

Every route is locale-prefixed: `/de/...` for German, `/en/...` for English. German is the default.
The English slug differs from the German one, for example `/de/loesungen/rag-system` and `/en/solutions/rag-system`.

### Markdown instead of HTML

Content negotiation follows the `Accept: text/markdown` convention.

```
curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://www.ziya.de/de/workshops
curl https://www.ziya.de/de/workshops.md
```

- Markdown responses carry `Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8` and `Vary: Accept`.
- HTML responses advertise the Markdown twin with `Link: <path.md>; rel="alternate"; type="text/markdown"`.
- A request whose `Accept` header rules out both HTML and Markdown receives `406 Not Acceptable`.
- Each Markdown document starts with front matter carrying `title`, `description`, `canonical` and `locale`.

### Films

The site carries two films and neither has a watch page: they play inside the page they belong to. Nothing has to be watched to be read - each of those pages declares the film as `VideoObject` structured data, and the Markdown representation of the page renders that as a `Video` section with the title, what the film shows, the file, the running time and, where there is speech, the transcript.

- Ziya ONE product demo, 1:34, on <https://www.ziya.de/de/plattform/ziya-one> - a spoken instruction turned into a spreadsheet, a report and the slides to go with it.
- Ziya company film, 1:01, on <https://www.ziya.de/de> - what Ziya does, in the order a client goes through it. No speech, so no transcript.
