Ease your Life

Complication

The world, our lives, have become more complex and almost impenetrable due to the ever-increasing flood of information. We are pelted every minute by countless pieces of information. Digitalisation has created an unprecedented transparency that costs us more time than it creates. Every day, we invest a lot of energy in sifting, sorting and classifying information and sources. Cross-referencing, cross-reading and researching.

Exclusive Multi-Service Solution 

We have developed F.A.Z. Personal Assistant for all those who want to invest their valuable time in the really important things in their professional and private lives. The F.A.Z. subscriber experiences selection instead of filter bubble, order instead of stream, and guidance instead of interchangeability. With F.A.Z. Assistant, we combine the exclusive F.A.Z. services into a unique multi-service. The premium F.A.Z. user is thus equipped to cope with the immense complexity with a quality and care never seen before.
