I'm Tijdo
I spent years working in automation before most people had an opinion about it. The AI transition is the most interesting development I have seen in that time, and I find myself with a lot to say about it.
This site is where I write about AI tools, automation, and what the transition actually looks like from inside an organisation. What works, what does not, and what it means for the people who have to navigate it — whether you run the business or work in it.

Topics
01
AI Tools
Which tools are worth your time and which are not. Practical comparisons, real use cases, and honest assessments of what these things actually do — versus what the marketing says they do.
02
Automation
How to identify what to automate, how to do it without breaking things, and what the typical implementation actually looks like when it lands inside a real organisation rather than a demo environment.
03
The Transition
What the AI shift means for businesses and for the people who work in them. Which roles change, which do not, and what a sensible response looks like — for an individual and for a leadership team.
