Workflow audit + scope brief
Your current process mapped end-to-end with risk items flagged and annual savings projected.
AI Automation
Automate the ops work eating your week.
We build AI automations the way real systems get built - with validation, observability, and fallbacks. Not a fragile chain of scripts that breaks on the first weird input.

What gets shipped
Automations built like real systems, not like scripts.
Every automation engagement ends with the same kit - workflow, safety, visibility, handoff.
First automation typically live within 10 business days of signoff.
02
The automation itself
Triggered, validated, observable. Drops into your stack, not another SaaS to manage.
03
Guardrails + approvals
Human-in-the-loop gates on the steps where a wrong decision costs money or trust.
04
Observability + alerts
Every run logged. Failures alert. Dashboards show throughput, error rate, manual overrides.
05
Runbook for your team
What to do when it breaks, how to pause it, how to extend it - written down.
06
30-day tuning window
Production almost always surfaces edge cases. We fix them free for 30 days post-launch.

Pricing
Small focused automations. Not six-figure platform rebuilds.
We quote per workflow. Most land inside these bands. If your case is bigger, we'll say so on the audit call and propose a phased plan.

- Approval complexity
- More human-in-the-loop gates = more UI to build.
- Destination systems
- Integrating into your CRM, billing, or internal tools adds days.
- Compliance
- Audit requirements, PII, or regulated data add design time.

FAQ
AI Automation FAQ
Do you work with our existing tools (Zapier, Make, n8n)?
Yes - and we'll tell you honestly when code-based automation is the better choice. Most workflows start in a no-code tool and graduate to code once they become business-critical.
How do you prevent AI from hallucinating into production?
Typed inputs, validated outputs, and human-in-the-loop gates on any step that touches money, customer communication, or regulated data. AI drafts; humans ship.
What happens when the automation breaks?
You get paged with context, not noise. 30-day tuning window covers edge-case fixes. After that, it's in the ops kit tier or one-off fixes.
Can you integrate with our internal systems?
Yes - CRMs, billing, internal APIs, databases, webhooks. If it has an endpoint or a queue, we can connect it reliably.
Will our team be able to maintain it?
Handoff includes a runbook for the 10 most likely failure modes. Nothing is 'agency magic' only we can touch.
