Liara — our technical AI

In 2026 we launched Liara: a conversational AI assistant dedicated to our technical customers. Liara is available 24/7 at automazionezeli.com and helps with the technical selection of components.

Liara is based on a Qwen3 32B language model with proprietary fine-tuning on our catalogs and 50 years of technical expertise. Inference runs entirely on our servers in Germany (Falkenstein) — no data leaves the EU datacenter, no training on external providers.

FlowForge — the platform powering Liara

Liara is the first consumer application built on FlowForge, an Italian enterprise-grade workflow AI platform we are making available as a separate product. If you're looking for an alternative to n8n or Zapier with native Claude/Anthropic integration, visit flowforge.automazionezeli.com.

FlowForge offers:

The zelistore

Our online shop zelistore.it is where customers check availability, prices and place orders. Liara doesn't sell — it helps you understand what to order, then you go to the store.

Sustainability and quality

We work only with ISO 9001 certified manufacturers compliant with European directives (CE, RoHS, REACH). For our digital infrastructure we chose hosting in Germany (100% renewable energy for the Hetzner Falkenstein datacenter) and serverless architectures only where latency requires it.
