Tailored AI automation & local AI for SMEs

No off-the-shelf solutions.

I solve your real problems with AI helpers and automations tailored exactly to your business – local, privacy-compliant and so simple that your people like to use them.

Intro

I help medium-sized companies save time and costs: I analyse your daily workflows on site and build privacy-compliant, tailor-made AI helpers and automations – for processes that fit your business exactly and that your employees understand immediately.

Senior UX & ERP strategist, hands-on, embedded in your everyday work.

What I stand for

No concept in a PDF from an ivory tower: I watch how work really happens, build step by step and accompany the introduction until the tool is actually used.

Data stays in the house. Processes become simpler. Tools get used.

How I work

First the real problem. Then the fitting solution.

Every solution starts at a concrete workflow in your business – not from a catalogue. Three examples of what that can look like:

The real problemThe tailor-made solutionWhat you gain
The inbox eats up the morning.
A digital helper sorts incoming mail and prepares standard replies.
A calmer start to the day.
Invoices are typed in by hand.
Capture and assignment run automatically, you only check.
Fewer errors, a better overview.
Knowledge sits in heads and folders.
A local assistant answers from your own documents.
Answers in seconds – data stays in the house.

Examples – which problems really matter only becomes clear by looking inside your business.

My theses

Practical AI on real problems – for more time on what matters.

Five convictions I work by – said as simply as they are meant.

  1. The best solution emerges where the problem really happens.

    I experience your workflows on site instead of guessing them from a questionnaire. Whoever has seen everyday work builds the right thing.

  2. We build live – not by the requirements document.

    We develop together inside your business, in short steps, with real data and real colleagues. You see something working early, not a concept after months.

  3. You quickly see whether something holds.

    With AI, prototypes take hours instead of weeks. What does not help is dropped early – saving money before it gets expensive.

  4. Tailor-made beats generic.

    Standard software and all-purpose AI do not know your business. A small, fitting solution often replaces a whole package of features nobody uses.

  5. AI is a tool, not an end in itself.

    The goal is not “we do AI”, but: less routine, less searching, less rework – and with that time for what really moves your business forward.

The difference

Standard solutions vs. my approach.

Classic software & consultingCustom & embedded
Generic SaaS: lots of ballast nobody needs, specialist functions missing, permanent monthly licence fees.A tailored fit: exactly the functions your day requires – no subscription fees for unnecessary features.
Cloud uncertainty: concerns about GDPR, servers in the US and trade secrets.GDPR & privacy first: local AI models (on-premise, edge or private cloud). Your data stays in the house.
Ivory-tower consulting: concepts as PDF, without knowing the practice.Embedded & hands-on: observation in real daily work, step-by-step development and direct support during introduction.
Poor acceptance: employees refuse new tools because the UX is clumsy.Senior UX expertise: simple operation, so that AI tools become real instruments instead of obstacles.

Approach

  1. Observe

    A day in your business: where does time get lost, where do errors happen?

  2. Sketch

    A clickable prototype instead of a thick concept.

  3. Build

    Short iterations with your team – local, secure, maintainable.

  4. Introduce

    Hands-on support until the new tool is part of everyday work.
