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?
