Where to Start
-
AI Audit
I look at the work, the processes and how people get it done, and you get a written report with concrete recommendations on what AI can genuinely take off your hands and what is better left to a person.
-
AI Literacy
Since 2025 every business that uses AI has to take steps so its people can work with it (EU AI Act, Art. 4). Half a day with your team, in your rooms: what it does well, where it fails, how to tell, and how to prompt and pilot it. Meets the obligation, makes your lawyer happy, and nobody is unsure of how to use it afterwards.
-
Second Opinion
A technical quote is hard to judge from the outside. I go through it with you in plain words, so you know what is actually being built, what you would be living with afterwards, and what is worth asking before you sign.
-
Cybernetic Organisational Analysis
Every organisation has to cope with a world more complicated than itself, and it does that through how work is divided, how the parts coordinate, how information moves, and what watches the outside. Where one of those cannot carry what comes at it, a person absorbs the difference, usually the one everybody ends up phoning or the boss with a hand in everything. The analysis finds where that is happening and designs the structure and reflexes to carry it instead.
What I Build
-
Talk with Your Data
Everything the business has written down becomes something you can have a conversation with, from contracts and price lists to the folder of delivery notes and the numbers in the system. Twenty years of filing becomes history you can reason with.
-
Process Automation
Inbox triage, requests classified and handled, invoices and forms read straight into your system, meeting notes with the to-dos pulled out, appointment requests answered and booked, the weekly report written from your numbers, quotes and letters drafted in your words, and more. The part that never really felt like the job.
-
Custom Software & Tools
Web apps, internal tools, and the integrations that put them where the work already happens. Not everything needs AI, and this is often the half of the job that fixes the problem on its own.
-
Resident AI
An AI with long-term memory that belongs to a role in your business. The role's work runs through it, from the customer enquiry to the finished draft, and along the way it keeps track of how things stand and why. Nobody has to explain anything in the morning, and whoever takes over the role finds everything in place, without anyone having written a handover. Accumulated knowledge and experience that never leaves.
-
Sensing AI
It keeps an eye on what is happening around your business, whether competitors are moving, material and energy prices are rising, a fitting tender comes out or a regulation changes. When something becomes relevant, it tells you on its own, with the source and the date, including things you would never have thought to ask about.
-
Custom Behaviour
Need a model to think and talk reliably in one particular way? A character for your project, a tutor that explains instead of handing over the answer, a thinking partner that will not agree just because you pushed. Or a theatre of them, disagreeing with each other in front of you. Cognitive designs are my speciality.
How it goes
-
How long it takes
A first conversation is half an hour and costs nothing. Looking at the work and systems takes a few days. The first thing actually running in your business, on your real data, is usually a week or two. After that, a piece at a time, at whatever pace suits you. You're never signed up to a roadmap.
-
Ongoing Care
Nothing I build is handed over and left. A system like this is closer to a colleague than a program: models change, business changes, and the AI’s memory needs checking on. A monthly fee covers updates, adjustments, and someone to contact who built it. Model usage is a separate line on the invoice, at cost.
-
About public funding
In Baden-Württemberg, bringing in AI or automation can be financed through the L-Bank Digitalisierungsfinanzierung, a low-interest loan from €10,000 that covers up to 100 % of the cost. Development and consulting count as eligible costs too. If the AI works with the business's own data, small and medium-sized businesses also get a repayment subsidy. If you like, one of the L-Bank's AI experts checks whether your project qualifies, free of charge. You apply through your own bank before placing the order. An AI audit beforehand does not count as starting the project.
Salience Engineered
It said something it shouldn't.. it's inconsistent.. it forgot.. we can't make it sound like us.. it's plain out wrong... sound familiar?
Getting AI to behave coherently over time is hard for everyone who tries it, “AI Experts” included. You are trying to shape the output of a statistical machine, and usually you do that by prompting it: what to do, what stance to take, how to play a persona. Those requests are left to the model's interpretation, and they get messy fast as complexity rises.
My approach to shaping behaviour targets a more first-principle lever, what a model attends to and how. Against traditional prompting this discipline gives me surgical control across model families, with smaller instruction sizes and no training requirements falling out as a byproduct.
Which at the end of the day means smaller compute bills and faster changes.

- Everything I build can be deployed to the EU cloud, or run locally on your own hardware. Narufield itself sits on Cloudflare in the EU; a build for you can go to StackIT in Heilbronn, to IONOS, to the Open Telekom Cloud, to Hetzner, or onto a machine in your own server room.
- None of it needs your data to train on. What passes through stays transient and anything stored is encrypted at rest.
- The systems get secured all the way through: least privilege between the parts, nothing trusted for sitting on the inside, and prompt injection in the threat model from the start.
- Set up the way your compliance people want to find it: encrypted at rest and in transit, GDPR handled properly, and controls aligned with ISO 27001.
- Systems are built to stay out of the AI Act's high-risk category. If what you want would land in Annex III, for instance because it screens applications, you hear that before anything is built.

About
Who you’d be working with
I’m Joseph, currently based in Mössingen, and I’ve been building real-time systems for 13+ years and working with language models since 2023. I’m an autodidact, self-taught, which in this line of work is how most people learn these things.
I design and develop the whole picture, from the server it runs on to the way it speaks to your staff. At this point in my career I’m looking to apply my trade in a useful manner, and right now the Mittelstand is underserved by what modern technology can do.
Better with two
Everything on this menu can run anywhere in the country. Getting it there takes someone who can talk to people the way I can build systems. If that’s you, or you know someone who is: Read on →
