We figure out where AI helps your business — then build it for you.
No jargon, no hype. We map the handful of places AI saves you real time or wins real customers — then build them one at a time. Most owners start with a single quick win, see it work, and grow from there.

Built for the businesses that keep a neighborhood running
If AI could take one thing off your plate this year — what would it be?
You don't have to understand AI to know what's eating your week. Pick the one that stings most. Your answer points to where we begin.
Win more customers
Calls slip through, leads go cold, and quotes take too long. You know there's business you're leaving on the table.
Take better care of the ones you have
Reminders, reviews, and follow-ups keep falling off the list — and good customers quietly drift away.
Spend less time on paperwork
Invoices, chasing payments, data entry, bookkeeping — hours every week that have nothing to do with why you started.
Not sure? That's exactly what the free consult is for. We help you spot the easiest win first.
Sound familiar?
These are the everyday leaks that cost local businesses time and customers. Each one has a quiet, reliable fix.
Five places AI helps — and a sensible order to tackle them.
You don't have to do everything. Each idea is tagged so you can see what's a quick win, what's a build, and what's an advanced project for later. Start with one, add the next when it pays off.
Team readiness — the foundation
Short, practical training so your people actually use what we build. It's what makes everything above stick instead of gathering dust a week later.
We speak your industry — not enterprise.
We tune the same toolkit to how your trade actually works. A few of the wins we set up most often:
Salons & spas
Fill empty chairs with automated rebooking, cut no-shows with smart reminders, and answer booking questions long after you've gone home.
Restaurants & cafés
Take reservations and answer the phone through the dinner rush, and turn happy diners into five-star reviews automatically.
Dental, medical & vet
Ease front-desk overload — handle intake, appointment reminders, and recalls so the phone stops running your whole day.
Auto & home services
Quote faster, schedule and dispatch with fewer phone calls, and ask for the review the moment a job's done — detailing, landscaping, HVAC and trades.
Gyms & studios
Follow up with every lead, onboard new members automatically, and catch churn before a quiet member quietly disappears.
Retail & boutiques
Write product copy and emails in minutes, and answer customer questions around the clock so browsing turns into buying.

Start small. Prove it. Then grow at your pace.
You don't sign up for a giant project. We move one step at a time, and each step earns the next — no leap of faith, no lock-in.
Free consult
A relaxed 30-minute conversation about how your business runs and where the friction is. No prep, no pressure.
Start small
We pick one quick win tied to a number you already watch — missed calls, hours on invoicing, or your review count.
Prove the value
You see the result in your own business: time saved, calls captured, faster payment. Then — and only then — we talk about what's next.
Expand at your pace
Once something works, we add the next area from the map — only when you're ready, and only if it pays off. Optional AI Care keeps it sharp.
You own everything we build.
We're not another monthly subscription with a markup to defend. We build it under your own accounts and hand it over. The only ongoing cost is the AI itself — typically a few dollars a month, paid straight to the provider, with no middleman.
No SaaS lock-in
It's set up in your accounts and it's yours to keep — no surprise repricing, no holding your data hostage.
About $20–30/mo true cost
You pay the AI provider directly at cost for usage. We don't mark it up or resell it back to you.
Your team, trained
We hand off properly and show your people how everything works, so you're never stuck depending on us.
What it runs on — and what that costs.
We're upfront about this because it's the one recurring software bill behind everything we set up. It's modest, you pay Anthropic directly, and there's no markup from us on the platform.
Our setup and support is quoted separately, after the free consult — sized to the one or two wins you actually start with.
AI for you and your staff, with shared billing and single sign-on. Where almost everyone starts.
For heavy daily users who need roughly 5× the usage of a standard seat.
For larger teams needing advanced security, audit logs, and compliance.
Lower price is with annual billing; Team plans cover 5–150 users.
The always-on receptionist, website chat, and follow-ups run on usage rates instead of a per-seat plan — so you pay only for what they actually handle.
*Per million tokens (~750,000 words). For a typical small business these usage costs run from a few dollars a month to a few dollars a day — we size it for you before anything goes live. Source: claude.com/pricing, June 2026; prices set by Anthropic and subject to change.
Small wins that add up fast.
Each automation pays for itself, then opens the door to the next one. The numbers small businesses are already seeing:
