A small German studio runs its day to day work through AI

Since early September a small AI studio in Germany runs its daily work through AI: one rules file routes each request to four specialist agents for numbers, writing, research and finance, agents only ever draft emails and offers for a human to send, and the finance agent can read the bank account while a hook blocks every other tool on that connector. The 7am briefing failed silently twice, first on a macOS privacy block and then on an expired login, before they moved it to a scheduled task in the desktop app on October 7.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. One routing rules file sends work to four specialist agents
  2. Agents draft, humans send
  3. Finance agent read only with other tools blocked
  4. Morning briefing fails silently twice
  5. Briefing moved to a desktop scheduled task on October 7

Why it’s worth knowing

Their rule for missing data is the keeper: if a source is not connected, the briefing must say not checked instead of quietly skipping it.
