AI AUTOMATION
Your company probably has too many people doing work AI can do.
I find that work. Then I automate it.
AI agents. Software development. Content. Operations. Infrastructure. Internal processes.
Less manual work. Smaller teams. More output.
AI isn't expensive.
People doing work AI could be doing are expensive.
I've seen companies with 50+ developers.
Today, unless there is a very good reason for those 50 developers to be there, I see 50 salaries and a process that needs to be questioned.
People manually creating content.
People copying information between systems.
People attending meetings just to know what happened.
People monitoring infrastructure.
People producing reports.
People doing repetitive work because that's how the company has always done it.
AI changed the economics of all of this.
Most companies haven't changed with it.
REAL IMPLEMENTATION · WOS
From 20 minutes per article to seconds.
At WOS, producing one sports news article originally took around 20 minutes of human work.
We optimized that to around 5 minutes.
Today, AI agents can do it in seconds.
They monitor sports news from around the world, identify stories about the same event, cluster the sources, extract the relevant claims, create original content, find relevant internal links, select imagery and publish.
Different agents handle different sports, leagues and languages.
What once had a practical ceiling of around 20 articles per day can now scale to thousands.
Forecasts work the same way.
WOS agents analyze the latest event data from our sports providers.
They combine it with current news and information.
They create forecasts.
And they publish them directly to the platform.
With human review when we want it.
Without it when we don't.
AI-FIRST DEVELOPMENT
Then I applied the same idea to software development.
WOS, CJN and Fymera are now developed through AI-first workflows.
I use different AI systems for different jobs.
Features that previously required months of planning and development can now be delivered in days.
Projects that might previously have shipped around 10 features per quarter can now ship many times that number, including complex features that once consumed most of a quarter.
The difference isn't 10%.
It's a different way of building software.
And it doesn't stop at software.
Content?
Research it. Draft it. Illustrate it. Publish it.
Meetings?
Record them. Summarize them. Distribute the decisions.
Infrastructure?
Monitor it. Detect problems. Find unnecessary cloud spending.
Internal operations?
Turn repetitive work into workflows and agents.
Social media?
Create the copy. Generate the image. Review it. Publish it.
Reporting?
Collect the data. Analyze it. Produce the report automatically.
Why is a human still doing this?
Sometimes there's a good answer.
Very often there isn't.
I don't sell you an AI PowerPoint.
There are plenty of people who will spend weeks interviewing your employees.
Then they'll give you 70 slides explaining that AI is going to transform your company.
I can build the transformation.
Or I can design the entire system, create the implementation plan and work with your existing team to execute it.
You don't need to replace your company.
You need to stop paying humans to behave like software.
The first thing I look at is your team.
If five people are doing something AI can do with one, I'm going to tell you.
If 50 developers are producing what a properly designed AI-first engineering operation could produce with a fraction of that team, I'm going to tell you that too.
This isn't about adding ChatGPT to everyone's laptop.
It's about redesigning how the company works now that the economics of knowledge work have changed.
- fewer people
- faster product development
- automated internal processes
- autonomous AI agents
- lower infrastructure costs
- less manual content production
- fewer unnecessary meetings
- faster decisions
- dramatically higher output
Sometimes the biggest AI opportunity isn't doing more.
It's discovering what you no longer need to pay for.
START HERE
Start with an AI Automation Audit.
Show me how your company works.
Your teams.
Your processes.
Your software.
Your infrastructure.
The repetitive work.
The expensive work.
The things that take three months because everyone assumes they have to take three months.
I'll tell you what I would change.
And what I wouldn't.
No obligation to hire me to implement it afterwards.
I can advise.
Or I can build the whole thing.
I've spent more than two decades running technology companies and building products.
So if the solution requires a new internal tool, I can build it.
If it requires an AI agent, I can build it.
If it requires changing an existing product, I can do that.
If it requires infrastructure changes, I can handle those too.
Product management, requirements, architecture, development, design, infrastructure and AI don't need to become seven different suppliers.
That's part of the problem I'm trying to eliminate.
Who this is for.
Startups.
50-person companies.
500-person companies.
The size doesn't particularly interest me.
The economics do.
If you're spending significant money on work that software and AI can now perform faster, there is something worth discussing.

Your company already has an AI budget.
You're probably calling it payroll.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI automation?
It means using AI models, agents and software workflows to perform or assist business processes previously performed manually.
What business processes can be automated with AI?
Content, software workflows, internal operations, reporting, research, meetings, customer processes and infrastructure monitoring. Suitability depends on the company.
Do you only provide AI consulting?
No. I can audit and advise, but I can also implement the solution including requirements, product management, development, AI agents, integrations, design and infrastructure.
Do I need to replace my existing systems?
No. Many automations can integrate into existing software and workflows. Replacement should only happen where economically justified.
Do you work with companies outside Portugal?
Yes. Remote worldwide and available to travel when required.
How does an AI Automation Audit work?
We understand your operation, identify opportunities, estimate the impact, prioritize the highest-value changes, and recommend an implementation plan.
