Admin work happens everywhere: in the business, at the public office, at the training provider. Nobody ordered it, and still it eats hours every week. Here are five forms it takes. And what I build against it.

Five problems

  1. Your knowledge lives in heads and folders.

    One colleague knows where the contract is. When she is on holiday, everything stops. AI can read your files and answer on request, with sources.

    From the lab: A knowledge base I built for a teaching staff: more than 4,800 entries from 50 sources, searchable in plain language.

    What helps

  2. Routine work eats your week.

    Copying data from here to there, sorting emails, reconciling lists. That is not work, that is busywork. Such processes can be automated, and you can learn to do it yourself.

    From the lab: My own servers report when something is stuck. Nobody has to go and check anymore.

    What helps

  3. Your software does not talk to AI.

    ERP, specialist software, inventory system: the data is there, but every question costs an export. I connect AI directly to your systems, data-minimal and on your own premises if you wish.

    From the lab: More than twenty integrations I built and run myself.

    What helps

  4. Documentation eats your evenings.

    The site report, the test record, the file note. Written at night, from memory. Dictate it on site and let the machine do the rest.

    From the lab: The speech recognition runs on my own computer. No spoken word goes to the cloud.

    What helps

  5. Your team does not know where AI pays off.

    One tries ChatGPT, two are afraid of it, the rest wait and see. I work with your team on its own processes until everyone knows what the machine can do and what it cannot.

    From the lab: I teach adults and apprentices and built my own learning platform for it.

    What helps

The answers in detail

When it needs to be built

AI system integration: built, not just explained

For whom: SMEs, trade businesses, education providers and public administration with their own specialist software

Here I build it myself. I connect AI to your specialist software, your ERP and your knowledge base, data-minimal and on-premise if you want, and hand the result over to your team. I come from engineering: trained industrial electronics technician, many years as a telecommunications engineer, today a maker and developer running more than twenty system integrations of my own.

  • System integration: your internal systems become accessible to AI, with graded permissions and full audit trail
  • Automation pipelines for documentation, reports, research and data upkeep, with a human in the loop where needed
  • Real sovereignty: anonymise before anything leaves the building, local models where the use case requires it
  • Data flow mapping per process as evidence for GDPR and audits

Discovery sprint

950 EUR

One day on site or remote: a map of data flows and automation, a prioritised list of levers. Fully credited if you commission a build.
