Helping startup operators move faster with automation

I train business professionals on AI and automation: workshops, online courses, live sessions, all the way down to custom company training programs

Alexandre Kantjas

What training 5,000+ operators on AI taught me: it's not about 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴, it's about new 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘴. Here they are:

AI means new tools → new tools require new skills → new skills create new 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘴.

Skills training without role clarity will lead you nowhere. 

The companies moving fast aren't only hiring people with AI skills or running better training programs: they also understood the importance of 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘴.

Here are the top 3 every company will hire for:

𝐀𝐈 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬. 
→ 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘥𝘰: Use AI tools to do their current job faster. Sales managers. Customer service reps. Marketers: all will be expected to lift their individual productivity with AI.
→ 𝘛𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘶𝘴𝘦: AI chat solutions (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini), AI in SaaS applications that support their workflows.

Prediction: This role will become the baseline. Use AI or get squared.

𝐀𝐈 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 
→ 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘥𝘰: Automate team processes using AI and no-code platforms. RevOps managers. BizOps leads. Operations analysts. They thought systems and processes in the past. The expectation in the future will be to turn them into  workflows and systems.
→ 𝘛𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘶𝘴𝘦: No-code automation platforms like Zapier, Airtable, n8n, Make and all the good stuff I won't list here.

Prediction: Every business function will hire at least one AI Builder to automate the team's work.

𝐀𝐈 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬 
→ 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘥𝘰: Build apps and scalable systems. They're today's engineers, but the way they ship solution is about to entirely change.
→ 𝘛𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘶𝘴𝘦: Cursor, Replit, v0, Bolt - AI-native IDEs and vibe coding platforms that let them ship 10x faster by pair-programming with AI.

Prediction: in less than 18 months, every engineer will be an AI engineer.

This time is different: your role too will change. 

Which role do you see for yourself?

It's one thing to see potential in AI. It's another to have identified 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘈𝘐 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘴 that move the needle for 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 business.

AI transformation is in every board meeting's agenda. Yet most initiatives will fall short. Here's why:

Most companies have started initiatives to transform with AI this year. 

They're picking between ChatGPT Enterprise and Claude for Teams. 
They're running workshops on prompting. 
They're setting up AI councils to "figure out strategy."

Most of it is going to fail. 

It won't build the necessary momentum.

The reason: AI transformation requires six interconnected dimensions moving together:

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲: How you respond to AI's business implications (market shifts, product opportunities, operational redesign)

𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: The behaviors that define whether people experiment or wait for permission

𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞: Building skills, allowing experimentation, rethinking roles as AI becomes part of every job

𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲: The platforms, tools, and governance that enable AI across the org

𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚: Not just structured data, but unstructured information and tacit knowledge trapped in people's heads

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬: Redesigning workflows with AI at the core, not just automating what exists

These aren't sequential: you can't perfect Strategy, then move to Culture, then People.

They're concurrent. 

Interconnected. 

Each dimension affecting the others.

Here's what we see working:
→ Assess where you stand in each dimension 
→ Identify your biggest bottleneck 
→ Fix that constraint first 
→ Move to the next

AI transformation won't happen all at once. It happens by removing bottlenecks systematically until momentum builds.

We'll be breaking down the full framework in a series of articles.

I also managed the collaboration with talque, the event tool we used as the scheduling and networking solution for Startup SAFARI, where I got a deep dive into product management and customer success.

Key-Account-Manager, Community Manager

My role included various tasks: 
- project lead for Startup SAFARI Cologne

Making tech accessible for everyone | NoCode Product Builder

I'm on a mission to show that tech is something fun rather than something scary. Democratizing tech means to put the power of coding in people's hands - with #NoCode. 

With VisualMakers I'm building a platform together with my Co-Founder Alexander Sprogis with tutorials, blogs, podcasts and best practices to use NoCode in your business. As a product person by heart, I love building and growing products.  

I'm especially passionate about NoCode automation - if you're looking to optimize your processes, automate your repetitive tasks: hit me up!

Product was my first love in tech - and so one of my favourite conferences is all about how to build better products. Digitale Leute Summit was a blast 🔥

Everyone's talking about AI. Everyone's using AI SOMEHOW. Everyone knows big change is coming.

But there's still a massive gap between AI adoption and AI value.

I talked to so many people whose companies rolled out Co-Pilot licenses - and no one's really using them. Why? No enablement, no context, no real use cases.

At the same time, these same companies have dedicated AI teams... and more often than not, nobody really knows what they're actually building.

Then there are the companies who think and act on AI differently.

They're integrating AI into their workflows in incredibly practical ways. Real problems, real solutions, real value.

A few of my favorite examples from the Digitale Leute Summit yesterday:

🔍 Taxfix - using AI to give product teams actionable insights from conversational analytics

🏗️ OBI Smart Technologies GmbH - transforming a 20-year-old legacy system with 4 million lines of code into a modern, modular, product-oriented architecture

The gap isn't about technology. It's about enablement and finding real problems worth solving.

But honestly? The best part wasn't the use cases - it was the people. Getting face-to-face time with so many brilliant product minds (looking at you Juliana Brell, Tim Klein, Fabian Seibt, Benedikt Stemmildt 👨🏼‍💻🧙🏼‍♂️, Andreas Stephan, Zamina Ahmad, ✨ Büşra Coşkuner, Simonetta Batteiger and the whole crew) is what makes this conference special.

Thank you Stefan Vosskoetter and the team for another amazing conference. Can't wait to be back next year.

Are you seeing this gap in your organization too?

CEO VisualMakers GmbH | KI Strategie und Umsetzung für agile KMU

Wir haben unseren Sales-Prozess komplett umgebaut - und seit dem liegt unsere Conversion Rate bei 100 %.

Gut, den neuen Prozess gibt es auch erst seit 1,5 Monaten - seit dem sind wir aber tatsächlich bei 100% :D 

Früher sind wir nach dem Erstgespräch erstmal in einen Anforderungsworkshop gegangen. Danach haben wir tagelang an Präsentationen gebastelt. Der Kunde hat gewartet. Wir haben gehetzt. 

Und trotzdem waren die Iterationszyklen viel zu lang.

Das war nervig für alle.

Heute läuft das komplett anders.

Nach dem Erstgespräch landet das Transkript bei Marie - unserer KI-Agentin und Business-Analystin. Sie nimmt das Gespräch, kombiniert es mit unserem gesamten Agenturwissen und erstellt daraus ein erstes Konzept.

Innerhalb weniger Tage stellen wir das dem Lead vor, holen Feedback ein, passen an - fertig. Dann geht das offizielle Angebot raus.

Der Unterschied?

Nicht nur, dass wir schneller sind. Die Qualität der Konzepte ist deutlich höher. Wir steigen viel tiefer in die Bedürfnisse der Kunden ein. Und wir haben endlich Zeit für das, worauf es wirklich ankommt: die Beziehung zum Kunden.

Das Feedback letzte Woche: "Noch nie ein so detailliertes Konzept nach einem Erstgespräch bekommen."

So sieht für uns die Zukunft von Vertrieb aus. Kein Mensch-oder-KI, sondern ein Orchester aus menschlicher Urteilskraft und KI-Agenten, die Information, Timing und Präzision auf ein neues Level heben.

Wenn du wissen willst, wie du deinen Vertrieb für die Agent-Economy aufstellen kannst: 

Gemeinsam mit Sandra Overlack spreche ich darüber, wie moderne Sales-Organisationen in der neuen KI-Realität funktionieren können - mit Beispielen aus über 200 KI-Projekten unserer Beratungspraxis.

Morgen um 17 Uhr geht's los, Link zur Anmeldung in den Kommentaren 👇

Mensch ❤️ Maschiene im Sales 🤝 

Gemeinsam mit Sandra Overlack spreche ich heute um 17 Uhr darüber, wie KI-Agenten deinen Sales-Prozess verändern - und wie du dich darauf einstellen kannst.

Ich zeige dir unter anderem, wie wir bei VisualMakers unseren eigenen Sales-Prozess mit unserer KI-Agentin Marie komplett neu aufgestellt haben. Spoiler: Unsere Conversion Rate liegt seitdem (1,5 Monate) bei 100 %.🤯

Du bekommst konkrete Einblicke aus über 200 KI-Projekten:

🧠 Wie sich Sales-Rollen verändern
⚙️ KI-Agenten in der Praxis - von Lead-Generierung bis Angebotserstellung
🚀 Welches Tech-Stack das Vertriebsteam der Zukunft braucht

Das Webinar ist kostenlos und remote - meld dich einfach an, wenn du dabei sein willst.
