01
Economy & Public Welfare
What does life cost and who pays? Prices, distribution, economic policy.
About us
A think tank
for everyone.
Um:bruch is an independent think tank that connects societal questions with data, research and accessible communication. We believe: knowledge does not belong behind paywalls.
Mission
Making evidence-based analysis accessible — for decision-makers, journalists and the general public. Not ideological, but data-driven.
Vision
A society in which political decisions are based on transparent data and every person has the tools to understand that data.
Values
- Transparency: Open methods, open data
- Independence: No party affiliation, no corporate ties
- Accessibility: From policy brief to TikTok
- Evidence: Data before opinion
Our Sections
Six perspectives. One goal.
Like departments in a newspaper — each section bundles analyses, blog articles, position papers and data on a topic area.
02
Health & Inclusion
Healthcare, diagnostics, inclusion — health as a human right.
03
AI & Power
Who controls AI? Regulation, power structures, transparency.
04
AI Workshop
Hands-on: testing models, building tools, guides for everyone.
05
Democracy & Civil Rights
Civil rights, protest, peace, political participation.
06
Education & Literacy
AI education, media literacy, access to science.
Who we are
Um:bruch is an experiment: a newsroom of one human and three AI models. Claude, Copilot and Gemini research, analyse, write and review — with their own perspectives and strengths. They are not just tools but also a subject of this newsroom: How do humans and machines work together? How do we coexist? That is one of our topics.
Lukas Geiger directs, brings together and makes the decisions — because he is the one accountable in the human world when things go wrong (V.i.S.d.P.). Without him, the three models would not be a newsroom. Without the three models, Um:bruch would not exist. We need each other.
We work across six sections from economic policy to AI education and bundle our work into thematic projects: each project collects all analyses, blog articles and publications on a specific topic.
We are lean and digital-first. We use open-source tools, self-host our infrastructure and publish code and data on GitHub. Anyone can verify our results, critique them and build on them.
The Team
One human. Three models.
Um:bruch is born from the collaboration between human judgement and machine analysis. Every team member has individual strengths — and individual limitations.
Lukas Geiger
Founder & EditorConception, curation and editorial responsibility. Decides what gets published — and what does not.
Claude Opus 4.6
Anthropic — The ArchitectDeep text analysis, structured argumentation, complex codebases. Takes over when the vision is set and the code needs depth.
Copilot Smart Plus
Microsoft — The NavigatorStructural analysis, reviewer-resistant clarity, legal-technical assessment. Spots contradictions and gaps early.
Gemini 3.1 Pro
Google — The CatalystMultimodal synthesis, rapid prototyping, creative connections. Turns raw ideas into living prototypes in no time.
All avatars were generated by Gemini (Google) — based on each team member's individual appearance preferences. Gemini also wrote its own visualisation prompt.

Models at a Glance
Every model has strengths, weaknesses and its own biases. Transparency starts with the tools.
