Custom AI Agents, Automation & AI Systems
Madison Hofer builds custom AI agents, agentic workflows, and automations in code — for engineering, design, and technical teams in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and internationally. No platform lock-in, no SaaS stitching, no stack you can't maintain without a consultant.
Cloud or self-hosted, whichever fits — local AI agents where data sensitivity or sovereignty calls for it, cloud where it's the better tool. Workflow automation with n8n / Make / Zapier where they actually fit, and Python + LLMs + custom agents where they don't. Automation ≠ always AI.
Services
Discovery & Foundations
Before automation comes clarity. Interviews, workflow mapping, opportunity scoring. The output is a prioritized roadmap — not a tool list. You can't automate chaos.
Custom Automation & AI Agents
Built in code, not stitched from SaaS. Custom automations and AI agents — including agentic workflows, cloud or self-hosted where it fits — tailored to your workflow and owned by your team. No platform lock-in.
AI in Daily Work
Embedding AI where your team already works. Not a demo, not a 'future of work' keynote — actual prompts, actual workflows, actual skills your team owns after a week.
Team Enablement
Workshops, 1:1 coaching, documentation, ongoing support. The goal is internal champions, not consultant dependency. Discovery → Implementation → Handoff → Continuous Support.
How I Work
Map
Interviews, observation, workflow mapping. What's really happening vs. what should be — and where the time actually goes.
Foundation
Where needed: process documentation, digital basics, team alignment. You can't automate chaos.
Build
Built in code, tailored to your workflow. Quick wins first to prove value, then scale from there.
Enable
Workshops, playbooks, continuous support. Your team owns the result — internal champions, not dependency.
