AI Systems Engineer for Agencies

Hi, I’m
Christoph.

I install the shared brand and technical foundation behind how agencies use AI. The idea grew out of the work we were doing in my own agency.

I like building things and testing ideas that sound a bit too ambitious. The person I build for is the one doing the work: what they know about the client, which tools they can use, and what happens when that information changes.

How I got here

From SEO to
shared context.

I started doing SEO work at fourteen. At nineteen, just as I was beginning my studies in Aachen, I founded Schwarzwald Bruder with one of my brothers: a full-service agency for paid advertising, web design and SEO.

I trained as a mechanical engineer at RWTH Aachen and worked in Bosch Industry 4.0. For a while I kept the agency running while working 80 percent at Bosch, then left Bosch to work in the agency full time. I also founded a software company and later sold my stake in that startup.

In my own agency I also ran an experiment: autonomous agents, one AI account manager per client. The drafts reached roughly 80 percent, which is okay but not first-class, and getting them to first-class quality took almost as long as doing the work by hand.

So I changed the question. Instead of replacing the person, I started giving the person the context and tools they need to do better work with AI.

At Brixon we had been using AI with different information, Skills and setups, and the results varied. We tried folders, prompt libraries and custom Claude agents. What held was a shared foundation: current brand context and focused Skills. That became BrandOS.

The moment I knew it worked came from someone else. A colleague in a non-technical role built a coded qualification questionnaire on a client’s website, including the emails that went with it, in the client’s brand and tone, for a subject she did not know. She directed the AI and did the work herself, using our wider internal setup. A questionnaire or website is not part of the Install.

How I work with your agency

I build what supports
the work your team knows.

Your team knows the clients, the promises you can make and the details a draft needs to get right. Those decisions are the starting point for the build.

I turn that structure into a shared setup: one BrandOS per client with a version history, role-based access, Skills for recurring tasks and a routine to update, review and restore them.

At handover, your team takes over the system. Someone owns the information, someone reviews changes, and people still review the work AI helps them produce.

A shared starting point
for your team’s AI work.

Once they open, you can start with one brand in BrandOS, put your AI files on GitHub with the Starter Kit, or set up the whole system with me in the Install. None is available to buy yet.
