Independent Forward Deployed AI Engineer
Systems that do the actual work.
Nori Works builds small, controlled automation systems for recurring workflows: internal tools, clear handovers, visible status, and AI-assisted preparation. Critical steps stay traceable and need your approval before anything is sent, deleted, or decided.
AI tools you will actually use.
Starting point
What are you trying to fix?
You do not need to know yet whether this should become software, automation, or AI. One concrete workflow is enough.
Structure a workflow
A process costs time, but it is not clear yet what should be built first.
Have your workflow checked 02Build a tool
A spreadsheet, list, or idea has become important enough to deserve a small tool.
See tools 03Use AI with control
AI should prepare, check, or sort things without deciding alone in the background.
See workflows 04Stabilize what exists
A tool already exists, but handovers, status, or approvals still get stuck.

When you already know the kind of help you need.
Automate the office work around the job
Connect enquiries, quotes, documents, and job status around the trade software you already use.
Automation for trades AI IMPLEMENTATIONIntroduce AI automation with clear limits
Build AI workflows and agents with explicit data access, approved tools, and human sign-off.
AI automation for businessOffers
Choose the smallest useful start.
If an existing tool is enough, we say so. If the workflow needs design or a dedicated system, that becomes visible early too.

Approach
A process becomes a system that works for you.
Nori Works is a one-person software and automation studio run by Paul Kahle in Schongau. One person who listens, builds, and hands over.
You bring a process, a recurring headache, or a half-formed idea. What comes back is a tool that actually fits your day.
AI helps where it makes things faster and cleaner: building, checking, documenting, automating. Critical steps stay visible and need your sign-off.
Signals
How to tell a workflow is ready.
When several of these show up regularly, a small first system is often worth testing.
- Information is copied back and forth between email, spreadsheets, and tools.
- Follow-ups, quotes, or status messages sound similar every time.
- Nobody can instantly see what is open, reviewed, or done.
- A spreadsheet has become important, but nobody fully trusts it.
- Approvals happen in chats, inboxes, or verbal handoffs.
- A tool already exists, but the actual workflow still gets stuck.
Examples
How a small system can start.
Sort enquiries
Today Emails, forms, and chat messages arrive in different places.
The solution The system gathers the request, spots missing details, and prepares a follow-up.
Afterwards You review the draft and keep the status of every enquiry visible.
02Prepare documents
Today PDFs, invoices, and attachments end up in several folders.
The solution The system names, sorts, and summarizes the relevant information for review.
Afterwards You decide what gets accepted, stored, or passed on.
03Make status visible
Today Nobody can clearly see what is open, done, or stuck.
The solution A dashboard shows cases, missing details, and next steps.
Afterwards The team works from one shared view instead of scattered lists.
Try it
What a small system feels like.
Pick an input. The system prepares the next step and stops. Then you decide: approve it, or send it for clarification.

Principles
How things get built here.
-
01Focused
A small system people actually use beats a large one nobody touches. We build the part that matters and leave out the rest.
-
02Transparent
Actions are logged, state is visible, decisions can be reviewed. Automation should make work simpler, not harder to follow.
-
03Human where it counts
Sending, paying, deleting, approving: critical steps happen deliberately, not on autopilot. The system prepares, a person decides.
-
04Yours to run
You get a documented system and you know how it works. No tool that falls apart the moment you are on your own.
From practice
The system I run in my own business.
In-house system · in daily use
Alongside Nori Works I run a solar installation business. I built its CRM myself: enquiries, leads, quote preparation, materials, and handovers in one place, with named points where a person decides. Not a client project, my own operation.
