Sound familiar?

You are the bottleneck.
And it's costing you growth.

You wanted to be an entrepreneur to solve problems — not to sort invoices. But every week, everything still lands on your desk.

2 hours of inbox daily

You open Outlook and it's 2 p.m. Eighty percent of mail is routine — but all of it waits for you.

Bookkeeping running late

Receipts pile up. Your tax advisor is waiting. VAT filing turns into a last-minute scramble every month.

Sales loses deals

Proposals take three days. Follow-ups slip. You know you're leaving revenue on the table.

Compliance eats hours

GDPR, GoBD, government mail — all on your desk. You can't justify a dedicated CFO or COO yet.

The truth: a typical Mittelstand owner loses 38 % of their executive time to admin. That's time your competition spends on growth.

Your new team

Meet your AI executive team.

A CEO-Planner as the Tier-1 orchestrator routes work to 12 specialist heads (Tier 2). Each head spawns its own workers (Tier 3) for individual tasks — and tears them down when the work is done. You run the show; the AI runs the rest.

Concrete

What your AI team does on day one.

Six workflows that hit every German SMB daily — pre-configured in Business-Gym.

Email triage Office

Office Head reads info@ and your inbox, classifies, routes to the right head and drafts replies. You see three proposals a day instead of 80 emails.

~ 1 h 20 min / day saved
Invoice → DATEV Acct.

An invoice arrives by mail → Accounting Head OCRs it, matches the vendor in DATEV, asks once about account mapping, then posts automatically.

~ 4 min / invoice saved
Month-end close Acct.

End of month, Accounting delivers a complete tax-advisor package: receipts validated, postings reconciled, BWA proposal, VAT pre-filing — sent directly to your accountant.

~ 6 hours / month saved
GDPR subject request Legal

A subject access request? Legal Head collects data across all heads, redacts it, generates the GDPR-compliant reply (Art. 15) — inside the 30-day deadline. Audit-proof.

~ 4 hours / request saved
4-min proposal Sales

Drop in notes from the customer call → Sales Head pulls prices from the catalog, writes the proposal in your voice, inserts references. You tweak and send.

~ 45 min / proposal saved
Morning brief 07:00 Concierge

Every morning at 7 a.m. in your Teams inbox: three things to act on today. Nothing else. The CEO-Planner picks them, not an algorithm.

Ziad Iqbal

CEO & Founder · Archibo GmbH · Microsoft Partner

"Archibo is my own Mittelstand company. Consulting, three products, small team. We spent more time on admin than with customers — and we couldn't afford a real cabinet."

"So we built what we needed: a CEO-Planner that acts like a chief of staff, and 12 specialist AI heads that run day-to-day operations. Archibo runs on Business-Gym today. You can too."

"One promise: no training on your data, no black box, and you can turn it off any time."

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Is my data really GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Everything we do is GDPR-compliant: hosting in Frankfurt (Germany West Central), processing under Art. 5 / 6 / 25, no processing outside the EU, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) included. We do NOT train any models on your data. You have the right to erasure (Art. 17) and portability (Art. 20) at any time.
How safe is the DATEV integration?
We use the official DATEV connector (Unternehmen Online + DATEV API), no workarounds. Read and write privileges are strictly separated. Your tax advisor keeps full control and can review every posting before it's final. All postings are GoBD-compliant and stored audit-proof for 10 years.
Will Business-Gym replace my employees?
No. Business-Gym takes the work nobody wants: routine, triage, bookkeeping drudgery, compliance. Your people become free for the work you actually hired them for. Most of our beta customers hire MORE — because they finally have time for growth.
What if the AI makes a mistake?
Day 1: nothing sends or posts automatically — everything goes to you as a draft. Once a workflow has succeeded 5 times in a row, you CAN switch it to auto — you don't have to. Every action is in the audit log; you can roll it back at any time. If something feels off, there's a "Kill switch" — one click and everything stops.
Do I need IT skills?
No. If you use Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, you're up in 5 minutes. We optionally offer white-glove onboarding (included for founding partners): we set everything up, train your team, and you're productive in 48 hours.
What if I want to cancel?
You can cancel any month-end — no phone call, no letter, one button in settings. We export your data GDPR-compliant (Art. 20) and delete it completely after 30 days. In the first 30 days you get your money back, no questions asked.
What languages does the CEO-Planner speak?
German and English natively — including domain language (tax, trades, medical, legal). French and Spanish as additional reply languages. You can pick the tone: direct, warm, formal.
What about the Concierge office hours?
From the Growth plan, you get a weekly 30-minute office hour with one of our Business-Gym specialists (a real person). We review your setup, suggest optimizations, and answer anything the AI can't. Tip: this is usually the most valuable half-hour of the week.
What is the "Founding Cohort"?
The first 50 paying tenants get 50 % off for life (on their chosen plan), priority support, and direct influence on the roadmap. We grow with you, not without you. 23 spots open right now.
Who's behind Business-Gym?
Archibo GmbH — a Microsoft Partner from Langen (Hesse) focused on Modern Work and AI agents. We build HalloMia, Sales-Gym, Marketing-Gym and Recruiting-Gym. Business-Gym is the backbone of our own company.
