  What AI Can Do for You Is Worth Less Every Day

  11 Aug 2026

  The list of what AI can do for you is a list of where value is leaving.

  Two Kinds of Pain

  9 Jul 2026

  A job's pain is knowing it's meaningless. A job's numbness is not even knowing.

• 03

  The Load-Bearing Wall

  2 Jul 2026

  Germany works if you optimize for safety. If you have ambition, the system is quietly punishing you.

• 04

  Problem-Finders Are Becoming Rare

  1 Jul 2026

  AI can solve anything inside the frame you give it. It cannot tell you the frame is wrong.

• 05

  Opacity Was the Whole Point

  25 Jun 2026

  German bureaucracy's moat was never complexity. AI didn't simplify the system. It made me not need to understand it.

  Empathy Is Not Knowledge

  24 Jun 2026

  You can't teach it. You can only find the people who already paid for it.

AI can solve anything inside the frame you give it. It cannot tell you the frame is wrong.

  FlowMeet

  MVP, not launched

  Matching and flow management for in-person events. The evening runs as a state machine (check-in, matching, feedback) with realtime sync, so the host sees the room instead of guessing.

  Next.js, Supabase. Matching is interest-based for now. No external customers yet.

  A job-application agent that stays on your laptop

  Prototype

  Scores job postings against your background, drafts applications, tracks status. It runs in your own browser and keeps your CV on your machine, not on a server.

  Built because I needed it.

  My own work system

  In daily use

  An Obsidian vault plus Claude Code agents wired to email, calendar, and job search through MCP. Delegated tasks come back finished, with what was skipped and what needs my decision.

  What I write about AI at work comes from running this.

written up, not built

• DuWo · An AI reading of your own notes and journals: a psychological mirror, not a productivity score.
• Klarblick · One financial overview for people in Germany whose money sits across several banks, currencies, and countries.
• PainRadar · A newsletter that turns Reddit noise into a ranked list of problems worth building for.

  AI workflow automation

  Pick one task your team repeats every week. I automate it, test it on your real data, and hand it over with setup notes and a walkthrough.

• 02

  Python backends and data pipelines

  API integrations and databases that stay clean: proper constraints, deduplication, and writes that are safe to repeat. Includes sensor and video data for robotics and vision teams.

Every project starts with a written scope that says what is included and what is not. Fixed price, paid before work starts. Delivery ends the project; later changes are a new agreement. My working hours overlap US East Coast mornings.

recognition

• Next Star startup award, Nanshan, Shenzhen, 2025 (pitched for the team)
• Third place, Germany AI and hard-tech competition (team pitch representative; I did not lead the technical work)

• Entrohub: a community of 200 international founders, engineers, and operators in Germany. 10+ events, a 10-person volunteer team, community operations run by agents.

  Paused in August 2026. No revenue model was in place.

  entrohub.io →

• Career consulting for people job-hunting in Germany, run as 阿立聊offer: 32 paying clients in 2025, delivered by one person with an AI-assisted pipeline that cut time per session by 30%.

  A service business, not a product. It proved people pay for judgment.

• What it taught me: distribution is the hard part, more than the engineering. I now build things only after I can name the person who will use them.

• LinkedIn

  Short posts on building, AI at work, and life as an immigrant in Germany. Writing there since November 2025.

• X

  Shorter notes, mostly on AI tools and what breaks when you use them every day.

• 小红书 · 阿立在德国

  In Chinese, for people building a career in Germany: job search, side income, how things actually work here. ID yulifang. Entrohub has its own account, ID entrohub.
