Every department in your company has a week's work nobody should be doing by hand in 2026.

Operations systems

I install AI and automation inside companies that have outgrown doing things by hand - n8n workflows, chatbots, AI agents, integrations between the tools you already pay for - and I tell you straight which of it is worth building and which is not. Fixed scope, fixed fee, agreed in writing before anything starts.

AI implementation Not a pilot nobody opens. I have taken a 25-person company from nobody using AI to every person running their own AI project, daily.
Automation & bots Recurring work taken off desks across eight departments - workflows, chatbots and agents that run unattended and are documented for whoever inherits them.
Operations systems Because you cannot automate a process nobody wrote down. The system underneath carried a company from 8 people to 25 on a four-day week.

01 - Services

Four ways to hire me, with the price on the label

Prices are starting points for the shape of work described, net of VAT. The exact figure lands in a written scope before anything is built - and if the audit says the project is not worth doing, I say so and you keep the findings.

01

AI & tool stack audit

4–6 days from €4,000net of VAT

You are paying for more software than anyone can name, and half of it overlaps. I map what you have, what it costs, what it duplicates and what is missing - then tell you what to buy, what to cancel, and what to connect. This is also the cheapest way to find out whether the bigger project is worth starting.

You getA stack map, a keep / cancel / buy list with real costs, the three automations worth building first, and a 90-day rollout order.

02

Automation & bot build

Fixed scope · 6–20 days €5,500 – 18,000net of VAT

A specific workflow, built and shipped: n8n automations, chatbots your team or your customers talk to, Claude agents, MCP integrations, CRM syncs, reporting that assembles itself. Built in your accounts, on your tools, and handed over documented - so it is yours and not mine.

You getWorking automations in your own accounts, a written runbook, and a walkthrough with whoever owns them after I leave.

03

Team enablement

Workshop + follow-up from €3,000net of VAT

The part everyone skips. Every rollout I have watched go quiet stopped right here. I train non-technical teams to use AI on their own work - with their files, their clients, their annoying Tuesday task - and leave behind prompts and SOPs they will actually reuse. I have delivered this publicly to 20+ external professionals as well as internally.

You getA live session, a shared prompt and skills library, written SOPs, and an adoption check-in a month later.

04

Fractional operations

2 reserved days per month from €2,400 / monthnet of VAT · 3-month minimum

For founders past the point where everything fits in their head. Operating system, OKRs, onboarding, hiring, finance and vendor ops - set up properly, then handed to the person you hire for it. Reserved days cost more per day than project work, because they are days I cannot sell to anyone else.

You getA documented operating system in Notion or Asana, an OKR cycle actually running, and an ops hire briefed to take it over.

One engagement at a time. I do this alongside a four-day job, which leaves roughly four days a month - so the calendar is the real constraint, not the budget. If it is full, I will tell you when it opens instead of stretching the work.

02 - Proof

What I have already taken off people's desks

Everything below is running in a real company, not in a demo. I do not automate for the sake of it - I go looking for the task that repeats, costs a person their morning and produces nothing anyone reads, then take it off the desk for good.

Operations

One system instead of six

Notion and Asana rebuilt as the company operating system, migrated off ClickUp without losing a document: projects, client portals, wikis, 1:1s and an OKR cycle with KPI coverage for every role. Nobody asks where something lives any more.

Administration

Onboarding stopped being somebody's job

A new hire is productive in a week and a half instead of four, off written SOPs, a gamified onboarding path and account provisioning that runs itself through APIs - plus a library of internal AI skills anyone can run without asking me first.

Finance

Invoicing and cashflow off the critical path

Invoicing and payment tracking through Qonto and Holded, payroll coordination, vendor negotiation, and cost audits that surface what the company is quietly paying for twice.

HR & hiring

Hiring for every role, from 8 people to 25

Pipeline and ATS in HomeRun, onboarding rebuilt end to end, and a cross-border employment transition with Deel, Remote, Oyster and Multiplier compared on real numbers rather than sales decks.

Content

A weekly company digest that writes and publishes itself

Research, drafting and publishing chained into one workflow. It goes out every Monday and nobody opens a document to make it happen.

Video

A short-form pipeline the production team now runs alone

Research, scripting and publishing as a single workflow, built alongside the editors so it survived the handover - plus the AI media stack (Descript, ElevenLabs, Runway) in daily production use.

Marketing

Publishing on a schedule

The short-form pipeline feeds a planned publishing calendar instead of last-minute posts, and a public masterclass on AI in creative operations delivered to 20+ external professionals.

Sales & CRM

The CRM stopped being a second place to type things

A bidirectional HubSpot ↔ Notion sync so deals and delivery share one source of truth, outbound sourcing and sequencing through Sales Navigator, Clay and Lemlist, and a CTR-based success-fee model on the largest account.

03 - The stack

65Vendors chosen,
wired and paid for

Not software I have read about. Software I have bought and connected.

This is the vendor list of a company I run operations for. It is also why my advice on what to buy tends to be short and specific - and why an audit takes days rather than weeks.

AI & agents

  • n8n Cloud
  • Apify
  • Cloudflare Workers

Work OS & project management

I have migrated between most of these on live projects, which is the only way to learn what a migration actually costs.

  • Notion
  • Asana
  • ClickUp
  • Slack
  • Basecamp
  • Miro
  • Sunsama
  • Kondo
  • Raycast
  • Grammarly

CRM, sales & GTM

Outbound as a system: sourcing, enrichment, sequencing, and a CRM that syncs both ways with the work tools.

  • HubSpot
  • Pipedrive
  • Salesforce
  • Sales Navigator
  • Lemlist
  • Clay
  • Juicebox
  • Calendly
  • Buffer
  • Plotline

Finance, legal & people

Invoicing, payroll coordination, contracts and hiring - including a cross-border employment move with all four major EOR vendors compared on real numbers.

  • Holded
  • Qonto
  • PandaDoc
  • HomeRun
  • Deel
  • Remote

Design, video & media

12

Years inside video production, first as a co-founder and now running its operations - so I know which of these is a real bottleneck and which is a preference someone will defend loudly.

  • Figma
  • Adobe CC
  • Framer
  • Frame.io
  • Frame Set
  • DaVinci Resolve
  • Vimeo
  • Musicbed
  • Screen Studio
  • Veed
  • InVideo
  • Put.io

Security, IT & infrastructure

8

I wrote the company Data Protection & Security Playbook, and this list follows it.

  • 1Password
  • Applivery MDM
  • Usercentrics CMP
  • NordVPN
  • Microsoft 365
  • Google Workspace
  • Dropbox
  • GoDaddy

Vendor choice is rarely the hard part. What you are hiring is knowing which three you need, which two you already own without realising, and what the integration costs in someone's week.

04 - How it works

Five steps, and you can stop after the second

Most people have never bought consulting and reasonably assume it is a bottomless pit. It is not, because the scope and the fee are written down before anything is built - and the audit stands on its own if you decide to stop there.

01

A call

Thirty minutes. You describe the situation, I tell you whether this is worth doing at all and roughly what it costs. Free, and sometimes it ends here.

02

Audit

I map the recurring work, the tools, the real costs and the overlaps. You get the findings in writing whether or not we go further.

03

Scope and fee, in writing

What gets built, what does not, who does what, what it costs and by when. Fixed before a single workflow is touched.

04

Build

In your accounts, on your tools, with a weekly update you can read in two minutes. No black box, no surprise at the end.

05

Handover

A written runbook, a live walkthrough with whoever owns it next, and a check-in a month later to see what actually stuck.

05 - Who does this

One person, and the receipts to go with it

You are not buying an agency with a delivery team you never meet. You are buying the person who did the work below - which is the point, and also why I only take one engagement at a time.

Day job

Head of Operations & AI Implementation

Camping TV - B2B video & strategy agency for SaaS scaleups, Barcelona

Joined as employee #8. Built the operating system that carried the company to 25 people on a four-day week, then led AI adoption from zero to every person on it. Own finance and admin operations with two direct reports, and client operations for the largest account.

Earlier

Co-founder of a film production house

7 people · €300K revenue

Learned what a badly scoped project costs you at 2 a.m., which is why my scoping documents are boring on purpose and why step 03 above exists.

On my own time

Shortcut Flow - a Mac app I shipped alone

shortcutflow.com

Designed, built and shipped solo with Claude Code: spaced-repetition engine, Chrome extension, landing page. I build with the same tools I recommend, which is where most of the advice gets tested first.

The longer version - every discipline, the full automation list and where all of this came from.

Start here

Send one paragraph: what repeats, who it lands on, and what you have already tried. I read and answer these myself. If it is not a fit - wrong size, wrong problem, or something you should build in-house - I will say so in the first reply rather than sell you an audit.

filgawel@gmail.com

Good fit

10–50 people, no ops team

Agencies, studios, professional services and product companies where the founder still sees the bottleneck personally. Remote across Europe and the US, on site in Barcelona.

Poor fit

Procurement, pilots and committees

Tenders, six-month evaluations, or a proof of concept nobody intends to use. I have four days a month - they go to work that ships.
