About
I'm Brian Beckmann.
I build AI systems myself – and here I translate what they mean for your work. No jargon, no ads: just what works, what it costs and where it falls short.
I've been working with applied AI since 2018 – first as a web developer, then as a working student for Artificial Intelligence at Siemens Mobility, and today as Chief of Experiences at The Real Insight GmbH. My background is engineering: I build these systems myself – and that is exactly why I can tell what they actually deliver in day-to-day work, and where they don't.
Today I work on agentic AI systems that actually get work done in production – from automating entire business processes to AI-driven content and SEO pipelines. What drives me is the step after the demo: turning an impressive prototype into a system that runs reliably, transparently and economically – and enabling non-technical colleagues to build alongside me.
Beckmann is a specialist magazine for artificial intelligence with two angles: daily news and analysis on AI developments worldwide – and a practice section that shows what you can put to use in the office right away, from case handling to accounting. What sets the coverage apart from plain news feeds is the perspective of someone who builds and operates these systems himself.
