Simple name.
Simple software.
Software that's so simple to use your team actually enjoys it. Plus AI workshops that spark real enthusiasm and the courage to experiment.
Both with the same goal: so you and your team can focus on what you truly care about.

Your starting point
What do you want to achieve?
Two paths, depending on where things are stuck for you right now.
We want to solve a specific problem
Too much manual work, too many tools, processes that get in the way. I look at how you work and build the solution that makes it noticeably simpler.
- Automate recurring tasks
- Data from many tools in one place
- Software that fits the way you work
Our team should use AI with confidence
Everyone should use AI as naturally as email: privacy-compliant and with examples from your day-to-day work.
- Keynote talk to get started, 60–90 minutes
- Fundamentals workshop for every skill level
- Concrete use cases for your daily work
Your tool
Custom software
Your processes run across ten tools and three Excel spreadsheets? I build software where everything comes together in one place. Tailored and intuitive.
Thanks to AI, it's now possible for the first time to build custom software for smaller organizations that truly fits your processes perfectly.
No compromises, no workarounds, no programs that make you bend over backwards. Instead: software that feels like it thinks ahead, because it works exactly the way you do.
Process optimization
It always starts with a structured analysis of your processes: what is tedious, error-prone, or keeps repeating? We automate those parts or make them better, not just faster. For small and mid-sized businesses, this consulting phase is eligible for BAFA funding. What gets implemented afterwards is decided based on the results.
01Perfectly tailored
When you say "I'd like a button right here that does exactly this", that's exactly the button you get. The software adapts to you, not the other way around.
02Scalable
Your business grows, your software grows with it. New requirements? No problem, everything is built modular and adaptable.
03Intuitive
Everyone on the team can use it. No training marathons, no 200-page manuals. It just works.
04Fast
Loads instantly, responds instantly. And because every workflow is tailored to how you work, nobody on the team wastes time on detours for everyday tasks.
Workshops & talks
Get excited about AI
No dry training sessions. No fear-mongering. Instead: sparking enthusiasm, showcasing real use cases, and creating space to experiment, especially for those who haven't worked with AI much yet.
Keynote talks
Excitement in 60–90 minutes: Super hands-on, easy to follow, and instantly makes you want more. I show what AI can really do in your daily work, way beyond the obvious email writing.
Fundamentals workshops
Understand what's possible with text-based AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. Interactive, industry-specific, with room to ask questions and get direct feedback.

Workshop
50 employees brought along
The workshop was a very successful kickoff for introducing AI in our organization: Florian met all 50 employees where they were, despite very different levels of AI experience, and brought them along. By the end of the day we had not only an enthusiastic team but also concrete ideas for using AI in our everyday work.

Trainings
Thoroughly helpful, motivating, and lasting

It hurts me to see people fighting their computer more than doing their actual work.
For me, computers have felt like a natural extension of myself for years. They help me do what I actually want to do, and they don't get in the way. But I keep seeing it with businesses and friends: the computer gets in the way. It doesn't have to be that way.
As an IT all-rounder and entrepreneur, I bridge two worlds: I understand the technical details and the processes within companies that they're meant to improve. I'm not tied to any specific solution and find the perfect fit for your concrete problem from the full range of what's out there in IT.
The excitement for AI that I've been living and rediscovering every day for three years is what I want to share with you.

“AI makes people dumber”?
Then you haven't used AI properly yet.
FAQ
Questions you might have
Can AI really be used in a GDPR-compliant way?
Yes. I've implemented AI at tax firms handling highly sensitive client data, reviewed and approved by the strictest data protection officers. This is a solved problem.
Do I need technical knowledge for the workshops?
None at all. My workshops are for all levels, from AI beginners to those already working with AI who want to get more out of it. No jargon, super hands-on, and instantly makes you want more.
What if my team has very different levels of AI knowledge?
That's the norm, not the exception. My workshops are designed so that both beginners and power users get something out of it. It's not about memorizing prompts. It's about learning to see your workday through an AI lens.
How is your software different from off-the-shelf solutions?
Standard software forces you to adapt your processes to the program. My software adapts to your processes. If you want a button in a specific spot that does exactly what you need, it does. No bending, no workarounds.
Are there any funding options?
Yes. I'm registered as a consultant with Germany's Federal Office for Economic Affairs (BAFA). For small and mid-sized businesses, the consulting and analysis phase can be subsidized through the “Förderung unternehmerischen Know-hows” program.
