Why AI and Consulting Suddenly Land in Every Marketing Manager's Lap
Marketing managers at SMEs face unexpected pressure to master AI and consulting strategies without training or budgets, learn what actually matters.

From first question to running system.
Bonalogic builds with AI and advises on it. Sometimes that becomes a full platform, more often something far smaller, and now and then the advice not to start at all. No minimum size, no fixed package. I build my own software, so I know what an idea costs before you commit to it.
I do AI work. Here is how that started.
From AI work to two platforms running in production today.
Nolorem first
I needed content myself and did not want to lose days a week to it. So I built a platform that researches, writes, and then reads every claim back against its source, so no hallucination survives into the text. The social posts that go with it get written and scheduled too.
And then support
Anyone paying for Nolorem deserves proper help when something breaks. What I went looking for did not exist in a shape I liked, so I built it. It runs on the same infrastructure as Nolorem, and follows the same principles.
Two platforms in production, built alone in six months. Three years ago that took a team.
My calling card
Two systems I designed, built and operate myself. Have a look at how they work and what I ran into.
NoloremLive
SaaS product
Researched content with sources, not invented text
An AI content platform that researches first and writes second. A verification pass reads every claim back against its source, so no AI hallucination ends up in the text.
Support platformLive
Internal product
What I went looking for did not exist, so I built it
A self-hosted support platform with an AI assistant that answers only from its own knowledge base, with citations. Accessible to customers only.
Notes from the workshop
What I run into while building. The problems, the trade-offs, and what actually worked.
You may not need a platform
Not every question calls for a SaaS or a system of your own, and that is completely fine. The answer is often much smaller: a script that runs overnight, a connection between two packages that refuse to talk to each other, or half a day spent working out whether the idea holds up at all. I like that work as much as the large kind, and I say so plainly when something is not worth the investment.
For instance
- Working out where AI earns its keep in your processes, and where it only costs money
- Incoming email analysed on content and routed automatically to the right person
- An internal knowledge base fed automatically from your documents, SOPs and manuals
- Tying two systems together so nobody rekeys data again
Frequently asked questions
The questions that come up in almost every first conversation.
What kind of businesses does Bonalogic work with?
Mostly SMEs and growing companies that want to work smarter, anything from simplifying admin to automating production processes. What matters is an openness to changing how things are done. You do not need technical knowledge, because I guide you from idea to working solution.
What does working together look like?
I start by listening: what are your goals, where are you stuck? Then we build a plan together with clear phases and transparent communication, so you know exactly what happens, when and why. You deal with the same person throughout, because there is no account manager between you and whoever builds it.
How quickly will I see results?
An automation is usually standing within days to a few weeks, and from then on the effect is immediate. The low-hanging fruit comes first. Work that used to mean a day of research, writing and hunting for images happens automatically, and your part shrinks to reviewing and adjusting.
Is your solution custom-built or off-the-shelf?
A bit of both. I have reusable building blocks that I tune to your situation. That means you can start quickly while still getting something that fits your actual processes.
I am a customer and a fan of your support environment. Can I have something like it?
Yes. The support environment is gated to customers, but it is not a product I resell. It is a system I built, which means I can build it again, shaped around your documentation, your tickets and your house style. The same goes for the pieces of Nolorem, such as search across your own documents or an assistant that answers only with citations. What you see running on this site is also the list of what I can put in place for you.
You work alone. Is that not a risk?
It is a fair question. I built Nolorem and the support environment on my own, the two of them inside six months, billing, quotas, background jobs and backups included. A one-person business using AI well now does the work that needed a team three years ago, without the slowness and the overhead that came with it. You also deal directly with whoever builds it, so decisions happen in a conversation rather than in a meeting. If something is business-critical, we agree up front how maintenance and handover are arranged, and you get the source code.
Do you just use ChatGPT for this?
No. Public AI tools run on shared models. I build isolated solutions that work exclusively with your data.
What about the security of my data?
It is a top priority. The solutions run on EU servers and are GDPR-compliant. Your data stays isolated and is never used to train external AI models. You keep full control.
Will AI replace my staff?
No. AI does not replace people, it supports them. Automating repetitive tasks gives your team more time for strategic, creative and customer-facing work.
