Techtelmechtel Talks #3 with Niklas Laasch: My AI Chief of Staff, or how I run my solo consultancy with Claude & Notion
Niklas works solo. And still carries all the admin of a small company. These days a setup of Claude and Notion handles a big chunk of it: morning briefing, CRM, meeting follow-ups, time tracking. He’ll show it live on his own system, including what went wrong and what the AI is no longer allowed to do because of it.
The real question of the night: for every step of a workflow, how much do you let the AI do? “Handles it alone”, “drafts, I approve” or “nothing goes out without me”?
After the talk: open Q&A and a hands-on exercise. Everyone takes one of their own workflows (invoices, sales emails, you name it) and maps it step by step. What can the AI do alone, what does it only prepare, where does it have to ask first? You’ll leave with that map and three automations you can build in a single weekend.
Who it’s for: freelancers, solopreneurs and self-employed people who want their admin off their plate. No technical background required.
