xxsIT - Small automations for the work that keeps interrupting you.

Gibik News - 02 Jun 04:57

xxsIT turns everyday admin, replies, follow-ups, and lead handling into simple workflows a small business can actually use.

xxsIT - Small automations for the work that keeps interrupting you.

Over the last few months, I've been building several AI-powered products.

One thing became obvious:

Most small businesses don't need another platform.

They don't need a complex CRM.

They don't need a 6-month digital transformation project.

They don't need a consultant charging thousands of dollars to tell them what they already know.

They simply need one annoying repetitive task to disappear.

That idea eventually became xxsIT (Extra Extra Small IT).

A curated marketplace where businesses can find tiny workflows and practical automations built by approved partners.

We're currently looking for our first Approved Partners.

• Make.com automations

• Lead generation systems

• Practical business automations

I'd love to connect.

We're not looking for freelancers.

We're looking for builders who enjoy solving small problems that create big results.

The platform is still in its early days, and your feedback is extremely valuable.

What is the smallest automation you've ever built that had the biggest impact?

👇 We'd genuinely love to hear your answer.

xxsIT macht Verwaltungsaufgaben, Antworten, Follow-ups und Lead-Arbeit zu einfachen Workflows, die kleine Unternehmen wirklich nutzen können.

xxsIT - Kleine Automatisierungen für Arbeit, die dich ständig unterbricht.

In den letzten Monaten habe ich mehrere KI-gestützte Produkte entwickelt.

Dabei wurde mir eines klar: Die meisten kleinen Unternehmen brauchen keine weitere Plattform.

Sie brauchen kein komplexes CRM-System.

Sie brauchen kein sechsmonatiges Projekt zur digitalen Transformation.

Sie wollen einfach nur eine lästige, sich wiederholende Aufgabe loswerden.

Aus dieser Idee entstand schließlich xxsIT (Extra Extra Small IT).

Ein kuratierter Marktplatz, auf dem Unternehmen kleine Workflows und praktische Automatisierungen von zertifizierten Partnern finden.

Wir suchen aktuell unsere ersten zertifizierten Partner.

Wenn Sie Folgendes entwickeln:

• Make.com-Automatisierungen

• Lead-Generierungssysteme

• Praktische Geschäftsautomatisierungen

dann würde ich mich freuen, mit Ihnen in Kontakt zu treten.

Wir suchen keine Freelancer.

Wir suchen Entwickler, die Freude daran haben, kleine Probleme zu lösen und damit große Ergebnisse zu erzielen.

Die Plattform befindet sich noch in der Entwicklung, daher ist Ihr Feedback extrem wertvoll.

Welche war die kleinste Automatisierung, die Sie je entwickelt haben und die die größte Wirkung erzielt hat?

👇 Ich bin gespannt auf Ihre Antwort.

US Judge Allows Alleged Confession in Lockerbie Bombing Trial

BBC UK - 15 Oct 23:35

A US judge has ruled that an alleged confession from Abu Agila Mas'ud Kheir Al-Marimi, accused of involvement in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, can be used in his upcoming trial. Mas'ud claims he was coerced into making the confession while in custody in Libya, a claim his defense team presented in court.

As the trial approaches in April, observers should monitor how the alleged confession's admissibility impacts the defense strategy and the prosecution's case. The involvement of the Libyan official as a witness could also shape the narrative around the confession's validity.

The Enduring Value of a 60-40 Portfolio

MarketWatch Top Stories - 15 Oct 01:25

Historically, a 60-40 portfolio, which allocates 60% to equities and 40% to bonds, has shown comparable returns to an all-stock portfolio over 30 years in the U.S. This balance has provided investors with a mix of growth potential and risk mitigation. As market conditions fluctuate, the 60-40 strategy remains a relevant choice for many investors seeking stability alongside growth.

Investors should monitor interest rates and market volatility, as these factors can impact the effectiveness of the 60-40 strategy. Additionally, consider diversifying within the equity and bond allocations to adapt to changing economic conditions.
