You Didn't Start Your Business to Be Glued to a Phone

You're a craftsman.You built your reputation on quality work, attention to detail, and delivering projects that last generations.But here's what's eating up your day instead:Answering the same pricing questions over and over. Scheduling consultations during your busiest hours.Chasing down leads who called at 7 PM when you were finally sitting down for dinner.Explaining your process to people who found you on Google at midnight.And the worst part?While you're juggling all this, you're losing money.Because for every call you miss, there's a competitor who picked up.For every Facebook message you answered 8 hours late, there's a potential $15K kitchen project that went somewhere else.Your admin staff is drowning.Your voicemail is full.Your website visitors bounce because nobody's there to answer their questions.You've got hundreds of past customers and old leads sitting in your email — people who already know you, trust you, or were interested at one point.And except for maybe a Christmas discount email, you never talk to them.You know you're leaving money on the table — you just don't have the time or team to fix it.

What If Every Lead Got an Instant, Professional Response — And Your Past Customers Actually Heard From You?

That's exactly what Schaltworks AI does.We build custom AI chatbots for your phone line and website that handle customer inquiries like a seasoned employee — 24/7/365.Plus, we take care of your email marketing so you sell more to the people who already trust you.Not some generic "press 1 for sales" robot.Not another email tool you'll never use.A complete system that handles both new leads instantly and brings old ones back to life.And one that understands your business, speaks your customers' language, and knows the difference between a $2K repair job and a $50K custom build.The reason most AI tools fail for businesses like yours? They're built by people who've never done the work:We're not some Silicon Valley tech company trying to sell you software.We're former tradesmen who got sick of the same problems you're facing.We know how cabinet shops operate because we've worked in them.We understand your customers because we've talked to hundreds of them.So we built AI support systems AND email marketing specifically for businesses like yours — systems that feel natural, save you hours every week, capture leads you'd otherwise lose, and reactivate customers who already know your work.

Built by People Who Understand Your Business — Not Just the Technology

Most AI companies are run by tech people selling generic tools.They've never measured a cabinet, dealt with a picky homeowner, or explained why a hardwood like white oak costs more than soft wood like pine.We have.Both of us worked in the trades before getting deep into technology and AI.We've been in your shoes — dealing with the feast-or-famine cycle, juggling job sites and phone calls, and watching leads slip away because we couldn't respond fast enough.That experience is why our systems actually work for cabinet and furniture makers:We speak your languageYour AI doesn't sound like a corporate robot.It uses the terminology and tone your customers expect from a professional woodworking business.We understand your sales processWe know you can't give exact quotes over the phone.The system qualifies leads properly and sets realistic expectations instead of making promises you can't keep.We know what questions you get asked"What's your lead time?""Do you work with local wood?""Can you match this Pinterest photo?"Your AI is trained on real conversations from businesses like yours.German precision meets trade expertiseWe build these systems like you build furniture — engineered properly, tested thoroughly, and built to last."Good enough." doesn't exist in our vocabulary.

About The Founders

Linus Michael, Co-Founder & Trade Operations ExpertLinus spent a decade as a carpenter, working in workshops across Germany and Australia. Whether he was in a three-person family shop or a thirty-person operation, he saw the same pattern: talented craftsmen spending half their day answering phones, managing schedules, and drowning in admin work instead of building.That high-level operational perspective — gained from working across continents and company sizes — is now the foundation of how Schaltwerk designs AI systems. Linus ensures every solution actually works for how cabinet makers and furniture builders operate in the real world.His vision: A future where tradesmen can focus exclusively on their craft, with AI handling the energy-draining tasks that shouldn't require a master craftsman's attention.

Valentin Kurtenbach, Co-Founder & AI ArchitectValentin's path to Schaltwerk started in an unexpected place: as an industrial climber doing dangerous, skilled work that demanded complete focus. That experience taught him the value of staying in your zone of genius without distractions.After transitioning into AI consulting and design, he realized technology was exploding — but nobody was building for the people who actually work with their hands. So he combined his trade background with deep AI expertise to create systems that amplify craftsmanship instead of replacing it.As a creative problem-solver who genuinely appreciates the artistry of manual work, Valentin builds technology that's powerful yet simple — tools that serve builders instead of adding complexity.His vision: Merging the benefits of AI with the human essence of craftsmanship, so the art of what it means to be a woodworker can evolve without distractions.
