Custom AI tools that do the busywork

Missed-call-to-text, automated review requests, instant quotes, lead routing, and live dashboards — built for your business by a studio that ships its own AI products, with 3 provisional patents filed.

The automations that make small businesses the most money are usually the boring ones: answering the calls you miss, asking every customer for a review, and getting new leads to your phone in seconds instead of hours. We build them custom, connected to the tools you already use.

Missed-call-to-text

Every missed call gets an instant text back so the customer doesn't just call your competitor next.

Automated reviews

Texts customers after each job, routes happy ones to Google and unhappy ones to you privately first.

Instant quotes & intake

A smart form or AI assistant that qualifies leads and gives ballpark pricing while they're still interested.

Lead routing

New leads texted to the right person in seconds — speed-to-lead is the single biggest lever on close rate.

Live dashboards

Rankings, calls, reviews, and ad results in one screen instead of five logins and a spreadsheet.

Back-office automation

Quotes, invoices, follow-ups, and reporting wired together so you stop retyping the same information.

Why us for this

Most "AI agencies" formed last year and resell someone else's chatbot. We build and ship our own AI products: a notarized macOS app with paying subscribers (3 provisional patents filed), a live B2B SaaS, and Jarvis Factory — an automation engine that orchestrates 50+ AI agents to build software.

That means two things for you: we can build things that don't exist off the shelf, and we ship them fast. We once took a product and its entire marketing site from idea to live in two days.

Automation pricing

Fixed build price, then an optional monthly plan to host, monitor, and improve it.

Automation FAQs

What can AI automation actually do for a small business?

The highest-value ones are simple: texting back every missed call, requesting reviews after each job, routing new leads to your phone in seconds, generating instant quotes, and pulling your numbers into one dashboard. These recover revenue you're already losing.

How much does a custom automation cost?

A focused build starts at $2,500; a multi-step system starts at $7,500 and scales with integrations. Hosting, monitoring, and improvements start at $300/month depending on complexity. You get a fixed quote before any work begins.

How long does it take?

Most single automations are live in one to two weeks, simple ones in days. We build with AI ourselves — that's why we ship faster than agencies quoting two-month timelines.

Do I need to replace my current software?

Usually not. We connect to the scheduling, CRM, and invoicing tools you already use instead of forcing a migration. If your stack genuinely can't support what you need, I'll tell you before you spend anything.

Why build automation with us

The AI automation space filled up fast with resellers. We build the software.

💵 A fraction of typical build cost

Custom AI builds commonly quote $5,000–$25,000 upfront. Ours start at $2,500, and managed hosting from $300/mo instead of $1,000–$3,000.

🏗️ We ship our own AI products

A notarized macOS app with paying subscribers, 3 provisional patents, a live B2B SaaS, and a 50-agent build engine. Not a reseller.

Live in 1–2 weeks

Most agencies quote two months for a workflow automation. Simple builds go live in days here.

🔌 Works with your current tools

We connect to the scheduling, CRM, and invoicing software you already use — no forced migration, no new subscriptions.

🧩 Genuinely custom

Not a rebranded chatbot template. Built around how your business actually runs, which is why it keeps working.

🙅 We'll say no

If an off-the-shelf tool solves it for $30/month, we'll tell you that instead of selling you a build.
