Just Curious: Applied AI for Value Creation

Felix Rösner - Marble AI | How Marble’s AI Clones Uncovered 40% Redundant Work. And Saved 250+ Hours/Month

Stuart Willson

Felix Rösner, Co-founder of Marble AI, builds AI-driven workflow “clones” that reveal what really happens inside complex enterprise operations. His team helps private equity operators and middle-market leaders uncover hidden inefficiencies, quantify real ROI, and automate with precision instead of guesswork. In this episode, Felix shares why deep context—not tools—is the final moat in AI-enabled organizations.

You’ll Learn

How capturing keystrokes and screen activity uncovers the real workflow variations that break most automation efforts.

Why PE roll-ups routinely misjudge operational reality—and how AI clones surface true time, cost, and redundancy patterns.

How sharing internal best practices (revealed through data) can unlock major efficiency gains even before automation begins.

How to translate thousands of workflow observations into programmatic specifications for reliable, end-to-end digital workers.

The specific types of repetitive, customer-facing tasks where automation consistently returns 100–250 hours per month to teams.
