ChatGPT & Co. gehören privat zum Alltag, im Betrieb oft nicht. KI-Agenten können jedoch Routinearbeit übernehmen – und darüber entscheiden, ob ein Betrieb langfristig überlebt.

Kommentar: KI ist kein Bonus mehr, sie wird Pflicht für Selbstständige

Many self-employed individuals are still hesitant to adopt Artificial Intelligence, despite the fact that the technology is already commonplace in everyday life. While individuals widely use tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, business processes often remain shockingly manual. Working in such environments is a missed opportunity for increased productivity, as Artificial Intelligence can take on tasks that would otherwise require both time and personnel.

For solo freelancers, this means gaining a plethora of digital employees they can hire as needed and let go at any time. A physiotherapist can now benefit from someone organizing their appointments, regardless of whether inquiries come through a digital booking system, email, or phone. A craftsman receives a digital assistant to create offers, send invoices, and ensure payment has been received.

Meanwhile, the owner of a fashion boutique can focus entirely on advising customers, knowing that the AI will automatically manage regular posts on Instagram.
