How AI and automation solve real business problems
No hype and no success stories: what actually works, where AI pays for itself and where it is money wasted. Written from practice.

Read →AI reads delivery notes, invoices and acceptance acts and enters them into 1C, leaving the accountant only to check the result. An honest look at the 83–85% field accuracy, the document flow growth after the 2026 VAT reform, and where integration is required.
Read →Off-the-shelf is cheaper at the start, a custom system over the long run. We break down the cost of ownership with real numbers: why per-seat subscriptions keep rising and where the break-even point sits.
Read →Vibe coding in plain terms is when you describe a task in text and an AI writes the code. How it differs from no-code, what you can actually build in one evening, where the line with engineering work runs, and what any of it gives a business.
Read →A practical plan for the owner: how to pick the first process by the cost of its manual work, when an off-the-shelf tool is enough, where AI belongs, and how to stay out of the 70% that fail.
