Holistic AI Consulting · SMEs, Practices & the Self-Employed
I bring artificial intelligence into your business, thought through as a whole: technology that visibly lightens your team's load. Workflows that fit your people. And time that returns to what truly matters — your guests, customers and clients.
Two worlds, one approach: I only advise on what I live and run myself every day.
My approach
A business is more than its workflows — it is a living system of people, relationships and habits. Anyone who introduces technology there changes all three. That's why my consulting doesn't start with the tool, but with the person.
Every change begins with the people who carry it. I listen before I build — and introduce AI in a way that your team welcomes it, rather than enduring it.
I look at how everything works together — workflows, communication, culture — and strengthen it as a whole, instead of stacking isolated solutions that no one can oversee anymore.
Tools are a means, not an end. I choose them independently — based on your benefit, your data sovereignty and your freedom to switch at any time.
The blue flame is the clearest, calmest part of the fire. That is what the name burnin stands for: burning for your own cause — without burning out. AI takes over the friction of daily work: the typing, the searching, the double entry. Your energy flows to where it is needed — to people.
Services
I capture your workflows on site and translate them into a clear roadmap: what relieves the most, what it costs, where to start. The result is yours — even without a follow-up contract.
More about the analysis →Customer conversations become quote drafts, inquiries become reply drafts in your tone, meetings become minutes. Your team reviews and approves.
More about automation →With the latest team features (2026), the AI follows along in your work channels, knows the business and is approachable for everyone on the team — from the owner to the temp.
More about Team AI →Hands-on training without jargon, a business handbook in plain language — and, if desired, ongoing support, cancellable monthly. My goal: you become independent, even of me.
More about training & support →Use Cases
Event inquiry → qualified → quote draft in minutes. Reviews answered centrally. The office gains hours — every day.
Conversations are documented (with consent), follow-up appointments prepared — the practitioner works with people instead of the keyboard.
Site-measurement notes become quotes, business knowledge becomes searchable: new employees ask the AI instead of the owner.
The most common concerns
That's why every project begins with the potential analysis: you start with the building block that pays for itself the fastest.
Rightly so — that's why it's part of the foundation from the start. Where it makes sense, processing runs locally, on your premises.
AI that takes work off your hands rather than adding to it wins people over quickly. I train hands-on and leave the team in control.
You don't need one. I set everything up, document it in plain language and stay on board as your point of contact.
Unsupervised AI sometimes does, yes. My systems work with your verified knowledge base — and every output goes through human approval.
Fixed project prices, third-party costs transparent and without markup, support cancellable monthly. I earn from your solution, not from locking you in.
Process
You tell me how your business works — I listen and give a clear first assessment — even if AI isn't (yet) the right thing for you. On request, with a live demo: you see, using an example from your day-to-day work, how a conversation becomes a finished quote draft.
On-site capture, reviewing systems, understanding bottlenecks. Result: a prioritized roadmap with benefit, effort and a fixed price for each building block.
The building block with the fastest benefit is built first and tested with cases from your day-to-day work — you see results before investing further.
The remaining building blocks follow the proven pattern: build, test, hand over. Privacy documentation and records are created along the way.
Your team learns the new workflows hands-on, at its own pace. Only once everything runs cleanly do I switch over — followed by four weeks of intensive support included.
AI keeps evolving month by month. I monitor quality and proactively bring in new possibilities — cancellable monthly.
My stance
AI drafts — people decide. Every output goes through your team's approval before a customer sees it. For me, that is an architectural principle, not an option.
From 25 years of guiding people through change, I know: security first, then growth. I start small, build trust — and expand only once the foundation holds.
For every tool, I ask: who benefits — you or the provider? I watch out for your data sovereignty and your freedom to stay independent. If AI doesn't solve your problem, I say so in the intro call.
The goal is not "more, faster, further". The goal is a business that works with less friction — and people who still have energy left in the evening. That is what the name burnin stands for.
Consent processes, data processing agreements, a record of processing activities and a deletion concept — I deliver them as part of the project.
Since August 2026, labeling requirements apply to AI-generated content. My systems are built for that — you don't have to work through regulatory texts yourself.
Sensitive data such as conversation recordings can be processed locally on your premises — it never leaves your business.
Who's behind it
I am Felix Scheffel — and I am this AI consultancy. From the first conversation to the handover, you work with me personally. For over 25 years, I have guided people through change as a holistic therapist and coach — in my own practice, at retreats, in companies. My training includes Success & Burnout Coaching: I know from thousands of hours of practice how overload arises — and how to resolve it.
And for years I have been building my own AI systems that run in production every day: content pipelines with thousands of specialist texts, quality-assured multilingual translation, fully automated audio production — and a team of over 30 specialized AI agents.
That exact combination is burnin.net: technology that works — introduced by someone who understands people.
More about me and how I work →Frequent questions
That I don't just set up technology, but keep the whole picture in view: the people who work with it, the workflows it is embedded in, and the culture of your business. AI projects rarely fail because of the technology — usually because of the rollout. That's exactly where my double strength lies: building systems and bringing people along.
No — small teams in particular benefit the most, because every saved office hour is directly noticeable there. My building blocks deliberately start small and grow with you.
Primarily Claude by Anthropic — based on my daily hands-on experience, currently the strongest AI for text, analysis and agent systems, including the latest team features (2026). Where another tool fits better, I say so openly — I earn from your solution, not from license commissions.
It replaces typing, searching and double entry — not people. In practice, working time shifts from the desk to the guest, customer or client. Your team is trained and strengthened, not made redundant.
Recordings only take place with documented consent. I supply the consent templates, the record of processing activities and a deletion concept — and, if needed, involve your data protection officer.
In operation, the providers' AI licenses are charged per user and month, plus small usage-based costs. I disclose all third-party costs transparently before the start — they go directly to the providers, without markup.
No. The analysis is usable independently, projects have fixed prices, ongoing support is cancellable monthly. My goal is that you become independent — even of me.
Because you're not buying slides, but systems that have themselves been running in production for years — and guidance built on over 25 years of experience working with people. The process keeps your risk small: a free intro call, an independently usable analysis, a pilot before expansion, support cancellable monthly.
