The problem

A training about AI changes nothing on Monday.

You learn how the tools work and go home inspired. Then the week starts, and the proposals, the meeting notes, the follow-up emails are right back on your desk. Knowledge alone takes nothing off your plate. A colleague does.

The usual AI offer
  • A course or tool you sign up for
  • You leave with knowledge, not a result
  • Explaining everything again every time, no memory
  • On Monday the pile is back
Your own Tomo
  • A colleague with a role, a memory and a fixed routine
  • He does the recurring work, you approve
  • He knows your workflows and remembers what matters
  • In the end he belongs to you, not a platform
The path · four stages, one journey

From AI as chat to a colleague who conducts.

The strongest proof isn't a promise — it's a path already walked. You start at the bottom and climb as far as makes sense for you. Each stage rests on the one below.

AI as chat

Asking

You ask questions and get answers. AI as a better Google.

Jay's path: It started with Claude as a better Google — single questions in single sessions.
AI as tool

Repeating

You notice what works and pour it into fixed prompts and templates.

Jay's path: One-off questions turned into fixed recipes and whole families of skills.
AI with a role

Setting up

You give the AI a role, a memory and a routine. A workstation of its own.

Jay's path: One station per field of work, each with its own file.
AI as colleague

Orchestrating

One colleague takes your requests, pulls the threads in the background, sums up and lays it all out for approval.

Jay's path: Tomo — the one point of contact who conducts the rest.

Tomo is Japanese (友) and means "friend". That's exactly how he's meant: a colleague at eye level who works for you — not a system that decides over your head.

Watch Tomo at work

Tell Tomo what's coming up …
The whole situation in one sentence

Mara types one sentence. No barrage of questions back.

MaraThe workshop at Knecht Logistik is done. Get the follow-up ready.
Got it. I'll take care of the whole follow-up: the thank-you email to the team, the results doc for the participants, a proposal for the follow-up date, and the invoice. I'll lay everything out for your approval — nothing goes out without you. One moment, I'm pulling three threads.
I won't ask about every detail one by one. What I know for sure from your memory, I'll use. Where I'm unsure, I'll flag it for you.
A team without a fleet · Tomo's visible thinking

"I'm pulling three threads."

Three stations work in parallel. You still only read Tomo. They never talk to you directly.

Writing desk

I'm writing the thank-you email to Ms Kessler, in your tone: warm, brief, no filler.

Memory station

I'm building the results doc from the workshop notes — three agreed actions, neatly filed.

Weekly station

I'm preparing the invoice and flagging it to the approval gate. I don't touch money without you.

Checked before you see it

The draft for the follow-up date still said July 3. That's in your own workshop week. I've corrected it to July 9, your next free slot. Tell me if I've got that wrong.

The calm gate

Four finished pieces. Each one waits for your yes.

Full texts, nothing hidden. Approve each one individually, or edit first. For money and dates, it says how Tomo knows.

Thank you for yesterday — and the next steps
To: a.kessler@knecht-logistik.de
Dear Ms Kessler, Thank you for the open workshop yesterday. What stayed with me most is how clearly your team named the bottlenecks in dispatch. That was half the battle. I'll send the summary with the three agreed actions in a second email so your team can share it directly. You'll also find a proposal for the follow-up date there. Warm regards Mara Lindqvist

Results doc — dispatch workshop
To: 6 participants · Knecht Logistik
Hello everyone, As discussed, yesterday's results in brief: 1. From week 28, daily dispatch will be bundled centrally, with one fixed contact person per shift. 2. The recurring bottleneck routes get a fixed 30-minute buffer. 3. In four weeks we'll check whether these two steps deliver what they promise. Questions welcome any time. Warm regards Mara Lindqvist

Invoice — Knecht Logistik workshop

Dear Sir or Madam, Please find attached my invoice for yesterday's "Dispatch" workshop. Service: design and delivery of a one-day workshop Amount: €1,800.00 net, plus 19% VAT. Payable within 14 days. Thank you for the good collaboration. Kind regards Mara Lindqvist
How I know: The amount comes from your confirmed proposal of June 2. Source: angebot-knecht-logistik, line item "one-day workshop, fixed price €1,800 net". I didn't calculate anything — I only carried it over.

Tell me, and I'll remember it differently. One correction is enough. You say "Ms Kessler and I are on first-name terms" or "the fixed price was €2,000", and I write it into your memory. Next time I'll know it on my own.

Done, matter-of-fact

Four times your yes. The follow-up is out.

Tomo
Writing desk
Memory station
Weekly station
Workshop station new

You talk to one. Many work behind the scenes.

Tomo and his stations aren't a platform you rent. They're your files, your memory, your workflows. You can take them with you.

Export your teamStations, memory and workflows — as your files.

Care ritual: One to two hours a week keep him alive. We set it up with you and stay alongside until it runs on its own.

Step 0 of 6
What you get

Not knowledge about AI. A colleague who belongs to you.

What you just watched is made of four parts that stay the same in every domain. That's why Tomo feels the same for outreach, bookkeeping or research.

A role

He knows what he's there for: your proposals, your research, your follow-ups. Not everything — your pile.

A memory

He remembers your context, your clients, your tone. You don't have to brief him from scratch every time.

A routine

Recurring work runs as a fixed routine, step by step, traceable and consistently good.

An approval

Nothing goes out without you. He prepares everything and lays it out for you. The final click is yours.

7/10 threads fully completed in a single session, in parallel across several stations, one consolidated approval list. Jay's own evidence, not an invented number.
  • Jay himself works with more than thirty such stations across completely different fields.
  • All of them run on the same mechanics: outreach, bookkeeping, coaching, learning, personal life.
  • One structure, many fields, proven in one single real working life.
You approve

Tomo takes over work, not decisions.

The frame isn't optional, and it isn't decoration. You keep the what: direction, priorities, approvals, lived experience. Tomo gets the how: breaking down, preparing, summarising, following up.

1

A hard approval gate

Nothing leaves the system without your yes: no sending, no buying, no publishing, no deleting. No trick can lift it.

2

You stay the conductor

Tomo prepares everything ready to send and lays out the approval list. The decision stays yours.

3

The last ten percent

Being in the room, judging, holding the relationship, deciding. The human core stays with the human.

The question that carries it all: Where does your freed-up attention go now?

The ladder · three ways, three prices

Choose how much we build together.

The same Tomo, three ways to get there — picked by budget and your own time. Either way, in the end the colleague belongs to the person who works with him.

Co-Creation · Tier 1

Built together

We build your Tomo hand in hand and enable you to keep building yourself. The deepest transformation.

from€4,200
Focus setup · full installation from €9,900
  • Built together, hand in hand
  • You get the system and the building skill at once
  • Best suited to division and board contexts
Ask about a pilot

Pilot or credit, never both. Either the Research Preview price (−30%, for the first engagements) or 40% credit-on-contract — never both together. The credit only applies to a focus purchase at full price, and it then counts as a prepayment toward the full installation, not a discount.

One level deeper: the full installation

The three ways above are focus setups — one colleague for one clear workflow. If several stations are meant to play together with one colleague conducting, it becomes the full installation (corridor €6,600 as T2 to €9,900 as T1, size-1.0 reference), better suited to division and board contexts. For most solo contexts, the Hero is exactly right.

€6,600–9,900Full installation · team-lead reference

What nobody else honestly adds up

On top of the build price comes the running substrate, and you carry it directly: a Claude subscription (from around €20/month, more with heavy use) plus any service accounts your workflow needs. We earn nothing on it and put it on the table before you decide. No credit meter, no hidden usage costs.

We check the exact ballpark against the current price list in the intro call, so you know where you stand beforehand.

What it needs from you

One to two hours a week, guided.

Honestly: a colleague who's meant to stay alive needs a bit of care. That's not a duty you carry alone. We set up the care ritual with you and stay alongside, so your Tomo doesn't freeze the moment a week gets full.

01

A quick look

Once a week you look through what he's done and laid out. Ten to twenty minutes, no big production.

02

Sharpen

Where something wasn't quite right, you correct it once. He remembers. Week by week he gets more precise.

03

Grow along

New workflows come, old ones go. We show you how, and we're there in the early weeks.

The ritual is part of the delivery, not your residual risk. We build it to fit your Monday and stay with you until it runs on its own.
Honest up front

Who this fits — and when it doesn't.

Better clear beforehand than disappointed afterwards. "Your own Tomo" is no cure-all, and that's a good thing.

A fit if …

  • you have recurring work whose interface is language: reading, writing, researching, structuring.
  • you want to set the direction yourself and keep the approval.
  • you work solo or run a small practice and want real leverage, not another tool.
  • you're willing to put one to two hours a week into care.

Not a fit (yet) if …

  • ×you expect finished off-the-shelf software you just switch on.
  • ×your work is almost entirely physical presence or pure relationship work.
  • ×nobody wants to own the approval and everything should run fully automatic.
  • ×there's currently neither time nor calm for a proper setup.
Your data

Short and honest: what goes where.

Before you decide, you should know where your work lives. Here's the honest short version. The full, client-ready privacy page is on its way.

With you

Your files, notes and the running context of your work live in your environment. Your Tomo works on what you give him.

With Anthropic

What the AI processes runs through Anthropic, the maker of Claude, under their terms. We make transparent what that touches in detail.

The mirror rule

Your Tomo only mirrors what you consciously hand him. He doesn't reach into other systems on his own. You give, he works, you approve.

In the works: The full privacy page is being drafted with legal counsel. Until then, we answer every open question about your data directly in the intro call — honestly, no fine print. The demo contents are placeholders with invented names and amounts.

About Jay
He didn't buy this system, he built it. Single questions to Claude grew, over time, into a working day with more than thirty colleagues.

Built by Jay Manuzon, former DAX-40 intrapreneur and humanistic coach. You get both: the system, and the person who knows where it would bypass the human. Jay walked exactly the journey he offers, from chat to conducting colleague. For him, AI is no replacement for judgment and presence — it's a liberator of attention.

Frequent questions

Answered short and straight.

The questions that come up in the intro call anyway. Here are the straight answers, no fine print.

Do I get a course or a tool?

Neither a course nor an off-the-shelf tool. You get a colleague of your own with a role, a memory and a fixed routine. He does the recurring work and lays everything out for your approval. In the end he belongs to you, not a platform, and you can take him with you.

Does Tomo decide on his own?

No. Nothing leaves the system without your yes: no sending, no buying, no publishing, no deleting. Tomo prepares everything ready to send and lays out the approval list — the decision stays yours. Where money is involved, the hard gate takes two deliberate clicks.

What does a Tomo of my own cost?

Three ways as a focus setup, three entry prices: Door-opener (built by you, guided) from €1,400, Hero (built for you) from €2,750 and Co-Creation (built together) from €4,200, each one-off. The full installation runs €6,600 to €9,900. Research Preview pilot terms apply to the first engagements. We fix the exact corridor in the intro call.

What running costs come on top?

On top of the build price comes the running substrate, which you carry directly: a Claude subscription (from around €20 per month, more with heavy use) plus any service accounts your workflow needs. We earn nothing on it and put it on the table before you decide. No credit meter, no hidden usage costs.

What do I have to contribute?

One to two hours a week, guided. A quick look, one correction, growing along. The care ritual is part of the delivery, not your residual risk, and we stay alongside until it runs on its own.

Where does my data live?

Your files, notes and running context stay with you. What the AI processes runs through Anthropic, the maker of Claude, under their terms. The mirror rule applies: Tomo works only on what you consciously hand him and doesn't reach into other systems on his own. The demo contents are placeholders with invented names and amounts.

Who is this not for?

If you expect finished off-the-shelf software you just switch on. If your work is almost entirely physical presence or pure relationship work. If nobody wants to own the approval and everything should run fully automatic. Or if there's currently neither time nor calm for a proper setup.

The moment of decision

You talk to one. Many work behind the scenes. Only you decide.

No pitch, no pressure. In the intro call we work out openly whether "Your own Tomo" fits you — and with which of the three ways.
