Henning Thies – Personal AI: Coding Agents Beyond Coding

A lightning talk, in German. Henning Thies no longer buys a paper planner. He runs his freelance business from Claude Code instead: a Personal AI System on top of a plain Markdown knowledge base that tracks quarterly goals, client pipeline and daily tasks. He shows his daily stand-up live in the terminal, the folder structure behind it, and skills for things like multi-perspective business coaching and capturing ideas on the go. The template is available for anyone who wants to build their own.
