AI agents that take work off your plate
Most teams have a few tasks that eat hours every week: sorting email, preparing quotes, copying data from one tool to another, writing the same report again. I build AI agents that do this work for you, and they ask before they send, pay or delete anything.
What it looks like
- Read incoming email, sort it and draft the replies for you to check
- Prepare quotes and documents from a short brief
- Keep the CRM up to date after calls and meetings
- Write weekly reports or newsletters from your own sources
- Follow up on open tasks and remind the right person
- Make phone calls or fill in web forms for routine errands
How it works
- 01Pick one workflowWe look at one task together and decide what a good result looks like.
- 02Build a pilotI build a small version that runs on your real tools and data, so you can see it work before you commit to more.
- 03Run it for realIf the pilot does the job, we put it into daily use, with logs you can read and a clear way to switch it off.
Things I have built
- Neonduck
My personal AI assistant. It does things online for me, can make phone calls, and asks before it acts.
- Romandy CTO
A weekly newsletter drafted automatically from RSS feeds, plus event reminders that send themselves.
- Emineon
A scheduled job that writes, illustrates and publishes a blog post every day.
Good to know
- The agent asks before it sends, pays, deletes or invites anything. You see what it changed and why.
- I use whichever models and tools fit best: Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, open models and plenty of plain code.
- If your data has to stay in Switzerland, the agent can run on Swiss servers or on your own.
- I work in French, English, German and Dutch.
Questions
- Which tasks are a good fit?
- Tasks that repeat, follow rules you could explain to a new colleague, and live in tools with an API or a web interface: email, documents, CRM, spreadsheets, forms. Tasks that need a judgement call every time stay with people, and the agent prepares them.
- Do I have to change my tools?
- Usually not. The agent works with the tools you already use. If a tool has no way in, I tell you at the start rather than after the build.
- What happens to my data?
- It goes only to the services you agree to. Where that matters, everything runs in Switzerland or on your own server, with no data used for training.
