We built our founder an AI assistant
By Johannes Jäger, CEO & Founder
We built our own founder an AI assistant that proposes the three highest-leverage tasks each morning, reminds him of optimisations and thinks along in the background. Not a chatbot you ask, but an agent that reads, decides and structures the day for you on its own.
This is an AI assistant for CEOs, the kind we use internally and the kind we build for you. This article shows you concretely how it works, what you get each morning, and what something like this could look like in your company.
The before: a CEO's morning
You know it: 60 unread emails, a packed calendar, three chats, a dozen open decisions. The real question is not what is on the list, but what actually matters today. That is where most leaders lose the first hour: sorting, skimming, getting scattered. The most valuable work, the clear priorities and the big decisions, gets squeezed out.
What the agent reads and decides
The assistant hangs off the sources that are there anyway: calendar, inbox, tasks and the key numbers. It reads along overnight, spots what is new and urgent, weighs it against your goals and makes a first call: this is what moves the needle today. It does not just shuffle data like a no-code tool, it judges. What an AI agent actually is, is explained in AI agents, simply explained.
Good morning. Here are your three highest-leverage tasks for today:
- 1Finalise the Hello Brands proposalSitting for 2 days; per the thread the decision lands this week. Highest revenue lever.
- 2Call the investor back before 3pmHe wrote last night about the follow-on round. The window is today.
- 3Approve the 2 new blog articlesBoth built and checked, waiting only on you. 5 minutes.
Plus 2 reminders and 1 optimisation idea for the sales funnel. Reply 'more' for details.
This is the message waiting on the phone at half past seven. Not a dashboard you have to open, but a short, prioritised briefing. The agent has read, weighed and decided. All you do is confirm, and you start focused instead of sorting.
What this means for your company
The same blueprint fits almost any leadership role. A head of sales gets the three deals with the highest close-leverage each morning. An operations lead gets the three bottlenecks costing money today. A founder gets the three things only they can decide. The agent can also run quietly in the background: watch the team's pace, chase follow-ups and suggest optimisations before anything slips.
It is the difference between a tool that waits until you ask and an assistant that thinks ahead. Which workflows are worth it is shown in AI use cases for SMEs, and the full overview is in the guide for mid-sized businesses.
The best part: an assistant like this is not a rented product. We build it in code that you own, wired into your tools and tailored to your role.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI assistant for CEOs?+
An agent that reads your sources on its own (calendar, inbox, tasks, numbers), spots what matters and hands it to you prioritised, instead of waiting until you ask. It takes over the sorting and the first call, so you can focus on the big decisions.
Isn't this just ChatGPT?+
No. ChatGPT answers when you type. An assistant agent runs on its own in the background, reads your real data, makes first calls and reaches out proactively. The difference is judgement and initiative, not just text on demand.
Does the AI get access to sensitive data?+
Only to what you grant, with data protection built in from the start: data minimisation, clear access, clean deletion. Because we build in code on your stack, you decide which data is processed at all.
Can we get something like this too?+
Yes, that is exactly what we build. We start with a short analysis of your day, fix scope and price, and build the assistant in weekly sprints, wired into your tools. At the end you own the code and the documentation.
