Automate the dull work. Keep control.

I build focused AI workflows for recurring knowledge work, website management and research. Each project starts with one clear task, limited access and human approval for critical steps.

No autonomous black box. Just a controlled workflow that gives you time back.

You can see which sources, tools and rules the agent uses. Publishing, payments and customer communication always require explicit human approval.

Where AI can help a small business

I look for recurring tasks that have clear examples and keep getting pushed aside by more urgent work.

Research and preparation

Collect sources, summarize differences and prepare a briefing. A person verifies the facts and makes the decision.

Content and website checks

Prepare drafts, check links and metadata or compare pages without publishing anything automatically.

Organizing internal information

Structure documents and input, flag missing information and suggest the next step within agreed rules.

Start with one clearly defined task

Not every automation needs an AI agent. A simple form rule or straightforward integration is often cheaper and more reliable when built with conventional software. AI becomes useful when language, variation and interpretation are part of the work.

A good first pilot uses non-sensitive or controlled data, has clear examples and stops before a risky action. Before work begins, I define the budget, permissions, sources, logging and stop conditions with you.

Read what an AI agent is and how workflow automation keeps recurring steps controlled.

Websites with a character of their own

Websites that reflect the businesses behind them.

How we work together

Clear and personal: you always know what is happening, what I need from you and what the next step is.

  1. Initial conversation

    We discuss your business, your customers, the bottleneck and what the website or workflow needs to achieve.

  2. Choosing a direction

    You get a clear structure and visual direction, with choices I explain in plain language.

  3. Building and testing

    I do the build, share work in progress and check the content, speed, technical quality and mobile usability.

  4. Launch and follow-up

    After launch I stay available for maintenance, performance tracking, and targeted improvements.

Frequently asked questions

Straightforward answers before you decide whether this service fits your business.

Do I need to automate many processes at once?

No. You learn more from one tightly scoped workflow than from a large system with broad access. It is easier to test, measure and stop safely.

Can AI run locally on my own computer?

Yes, when the hardware and model suit the task. Local processing gives you more control over data, but it is not automatically the best option for every job.

Can an AI agent make mistakes?

Yes. That is why I restrict its sources and tools, validate its input and output and require human approval for critical actions.

Can you connect AI to my website or CMS?

Yes, when the system provides a usable API or MCP connection. The agent receives only the permissions required for that specific workflow.

What does an AI & automation project cost?

That depends on the task, the systems involved, the sensitivity of the data and the level of control you need. I use the initial conversation to determine whether AI is the right solution at all.
