Description
I am a solo communications consultant in Germany. I want to find out what AI can realistically take off my plate, and then have it built. I have deliberately not written a solution into this post. Look at how I work first, then tell me what makes sense. The business One person, plus a small network of freelancers I bring in per project (currently a graphic designer). I currently serve 2 active client and want to growth. Services are strategy, public relations, social media, branding, video and photography. All client work is in German. Our working language can be English. You do not need German, but the system has to handle German content well. Current tools Google Workspace (Drive, Gmail, Docs, Sheets), Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator), Claude and Gemini, Brevo for newsletters, Meta Business Suite for social and ads. How it works today, concretely Files: everything sits in Google Drive with no consistent folder logic or naming convention. Finding an old press release, a client's approved photo set or last year's campaign concept regularly takes longer than producing it again. Knowledge: each client has a tone, a set of approved talking points, a history of what worked and what caused trouble. All of that lives in my head or in scattered documents. When I bring in a freelancer, I brief them verbally every single time. AI use: I use Claude and Gemini as plain chat. I retype the same context and the same style instructions in every session. Good
