xxsIT - Kleine Automatisierungen für Arbeit, die dich ständig unterbricht.

In den letzten Monaten habe ich mehrere KI-gestützte Produkte entwickelt.

Dabei wurde mir eines klar: Die meisten kleinen Unternehmen brauchen keine weitere Plattform.

Sie brauchen kein komplexes CRM-System.

Sie brauchen kein sechsmonatiges Projekt zur digitalen Transformation.

Sie wollen einfach nur eine lästige, sich wiederholende Aufgabe loswerden.

Aus dieser Idee entstand schließlich xxsIT (Extra Extra Small IT).

Ein kuratierter Marktplatz, auf dem Unternehmen kleine Workflows und praktische Automatisierungen von zertifizierten Partnern finden.

Wir suchen aktuell unsere ersten zertifizierten Partner.

Wenn Sie Folgendes entwickeln:

• Make.com-Automatisierungen

• Lead-Generierungssysteme

• Praktische Geschäftsautomatisierungen

dann würde ich mich freuen, mit Ihnen in Kontakt zu treten.

Wir suchen keine Freelancer.

Wir suchen Entwickler, die Freude daran haben, kleine Probleme zu lösen und damit große Ergebnisse zu erzielen.

Die Plattform befindet sich noch in der Entwicklung, daher ist Ihr Feedback extrem wertvoll.

Welche war die kleinste Automatisierung, die Sie je entwickelt haben und die die größte Wirkung erzielt hat?

👇 Ich bin gespannt auf Ihre Antwort.

Trump Reveals Renovation of Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Ahead of Midterms

The Guardian World - 02 Nov 23:42

Donald Trump showcased the results of a $14 million renovation of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool in Washington, D.C., just before the midterm elections. The project, which faced delays and issues such as algae blooms, has drawn criticism from voters who feel the president is overly focused on construction projects rather than pressing national concerns.

As the midterms approach, watch how voter sentiment shifts regarding Trump's focus on infrastructure over pressing issues like inflation and the economy. The reflecting pool's renovation may symbolize broader concerns about priorities, impacting voter turnout and party dynamics.

xxsIT - Small automations for the work that keeps interrupting you.

xxsIT turns everyday admin, replies, follow-ups, and lead handling into simple workflows a small business can actually use.

xxsIT - Small automations for the work that keeps interrupting you.

Over the last few months, I've been building several AI-powered products.

One thing became obvious:

Most small businesses don't need another platform.

They don't need a complex CRM.

They don't need a 6-month digital transformation project.

They don't need a consultant charging thousands of dollars to tell them what they already know.

They simply need one annoying repetitive task to disappear.

That idea eventually became xxsIT (Extra Extra Small IT).

A curated marketplace where businesses can find tiny workflows and practical automations built by approved partners.

We're currently looking for our first Approved Partners.

• Make.com automations

• Lead generation systems

• Practical business automations

I'd love to connect.

We're not looking for freelancers.

We're looking for builders who enjoy solving small problems that create big results.

The platform is still in its early days, and your feedback is extremely valuable.

What is the smallest automation you've ever built that had the biggest impact?

👇 We'd genuinely love to hear your answer.
