Speaker Spotlight: Henning Thies – Personal AI: Coding Agents Beyond Coding
Henning Thies shows how he turned Claude Code into a digital co-founder that runs his entire one-man Rails agency – from strategy to content to accountability.

About Henning
Henning Thies is a Product Engineer and founder of an AI-powered Rails agency in Hamburg. With 15+ years of Rails experience, he builds MVPs and custom applications for clients – and manages his entire one-man business with the help of AI.
What makes Henning stand out: he doesn’t just use AI to write code. He’s built what he calls a Personal AI System (PAI) – a full business operating system powered by Claude Code that handles everything from strategic decisions to content creation.
You can follow Henning’s work on LinkedIn, his personal blog, and his agency site AI on Rails.
The Talk: Personal AI: Coding Agents Beyond Coding
Coding agents can do more than code – if you let them.
In this lightning talk, Henning will demo his Personal AI System and show how Claude Code goes far beyond writing code. Expect to see:
- AI-driven accountability – How his AI holds him to commitments and keeps his business on track
- Strategic documentation – How AI captures and maintains key business decisions
- Content & research – How AI creates LinkedIn posts and conducts market research
PAI isn’t a tool. It’s Henning’s digital co-founder. And at Agentic Conf Hamburg, he’ll show you how he built it.
See Henning Live
Catch this talk and many more at Agentic Conf Hamburg on March 22, 2026 at SAE Institute Hamburg.
