Daimler Truck adopts the AI platform LibreChat
As one of the first DAX-listed companies, Daimler Truck is making the open-source solution LibreChat, developed jointly with AWS, available to employees worldwide to unlock the potential of artificial intelligence.
Daimler Truck has defined its strategic direction in artificial intelligence by favouring an open-source approach. The company has introduced LibreChat, an application further developed in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), and is providing access to all employees worldwide.
LibreChat connects to various large language models, including GPT and Claude, as well as image generation systems such as DALL·E. Employees can create individual AI agents and chatbots and share them internally.
Andrea Seidel, Head of IT Transformation at Daimler Truck, describes artificial intelligence as a key driver of sustainable workplace transformation and as a foundation for shaping the company’s future development.
Through the open-source model, Daimler Truck collaborates with developers worldwide while reducing dependency on a single vendor. The objective is to strengthen long-term innovation capacity and technological independence.

AWS provides scalable cloud infrastructure
The technical infrastructure for LibreChat is delivered via Amazon Web Services. According to Daimler Truck, the cloud architecture ensures flexibility and adaptability. Specific functionalities were developed before launch for the company, including a SharePoint connector that integrates internal knowledge systems directly into the AI platform.
Daimler Truck also offers AI solutions from other providers but does not rely solely on proprietary end-to-end systems. By deploying LibreChat, the company maintains influence over the platform’s ongoing development. According to the company, this enables targeted adaptation to internal and external requirements, transparent cost structures, and compliance with regulatory and security standards.
AI governance aligned with co-determination
The works council was involved in the implementation process. Daimler Truck states that innovation and co-determination must be aligned to ensure responsible use of artificial intelligence. A group-wide works agreement governing the deployment and use of AI has been adopted.
AI applications are already being used within the organisation to partially or fully automate repetitive tasks. With LibreChat, the focus is on expanding automated workflows and deploying AI agents capable of handling multiple tasks simultaneously. More than 3,000 AI agents with various functions have been created and integrated to date.
