One person. Big ambitions.
AI that makes it possible.

Solopreneurs are arguably where orchestration matters most. A company of fifty can afford to leave inefficient processes in place because someone else absorbs the work. A solopreneur cannot. Every hour spent doing something mechanical is an hour not spent on client work, business development, or rest. Orchestration is how one person can credibly do the work of three: focused agents handling the routine work, the solopreneur handling the parts that need a human. The starting point is usually one workflow, not ten. Pick the task you do every week that you've been wishing you could outsource, and start there.

Mostly SaaS, with a few targeted exceptions. Self-hosting an open-source model on your own server takes time you almost certainly don't have, and unless your client work is unusually sensitive, the privacy gain over a reputable EU-hosted SaaS isn't worth the maintenance burden. There are exceptions. If you handle client data that's covered by professional secrecy rules, like legal or medical, self-hosted is often the cleaner answer. If your work involves repetitive heavy use of AI that's billing you per call, self-hosting can be cheaper once volume gets high enough. For everyone else, the right answer is usually a well-chosen EU-hosted SaaS plus a clear written policy about what you put into it.

Four rules cover most of it. Pick AI tools that contractually don't train on your data and have EU data residency, ideally both. Keep a short list of what you will and won't put into AI tools, written down, and stick to it even when you're tired. Use a separate AI tool or account for sensitive client work, kept apart from the AI you use for marketing copy or admin. Tell your clients, in writing, what AI tools you use and what data those tools see, before they sign with you. That last one feels uncomfortable the first time. It's also the thing most likely to differentiate you from competitors who haven't thought about it.
