AI Strategy & Audits

We diagnose where AI fits, write the roadmap, and ship the first system so the rest is obvious.

RAG & Knowledge Systems

AI that actually knows your business — answering from your own data, grounded and cited, never guessed.

YOUR KEYS · YOUR DATA

Owned by you

Built in your accounts, with your keys. Your data never leaves your control, and the system is yours to keep.

How we work

From first call to a system that runs itself

We plug into the tools you already use, learn how your business actually runs, and ship systems that get sharper every month — monitored, measured, and owned by you.

Book a 30-minute call

Built into your stack

We work inside your own n8n, CRM, and accounts — your keys, your data, nothing routed through a platform we control.

Works with the tools you already use

n8n, Make, Claude, your CRM and inbox — we meet the stack you have instead of replacing it.

Systems that compound

Every system gets smarter and cheaper the longer it runs — the data improves and the workflows sharpen.

We find where the hours leak

The audit maps your busywork — intake, follow-up, reporting, data entry — and scores the highest-leverage fixes first.

Tuning this week

Monitored

Live systems, monitored every month

Once it's running, we measure it, tune it, and report monthly. The longer it runs, the better it gets.

Built for

Built for businessesdrowning in manual work.

If your team spends more time moving information than acting on it, that's exactly the gap we close.

Founder mode

Founders & small teams

You're the bottleneck on everything. We hand the repeatable parts — intake, follow-up, reporting — to systems so you can stay on the work only you can do.

Momentum without more headcount

Ops engine

Operations & back office

Lead routing, data sync, document handling, internal requests — the invisible plumbing of the business, automated and monitored.

The plumbing runs itself

Agency system

Agencies & service firms

Client onboarding, research, content pipelines, and reporting — productized into systems you can run at scale without scaling the team.

Safe & yours

Built safe.Owned by you.

Most agencies rent you a black box on their servers. We build inside your own accounts, with your own keys — your data never leaves your control, and the system is yours to keep. No lock-in, no surprises, and it gets sharper the longer it runs.

How fast can you ship something real?

Weeks, not months. We scope the smallest system worth building, ship it in weekly slices you can actually try, and have something running in production fast — then sharpen from there.

What does it cost?

It depends on scope, and we put pricing on the table from day one. Most first systems land between a few thousand and the low five figures. If the math doesn't save you more than it costs, we'll tell you.

Do I actually own what you build?

Yes. We build inside your tools and accounts, document everything, and hand it over. There's no proprietary platform to stay locked into — the system is yours to run, change, or take in-house.

What tools do you build with?

Whatever fits the job — usually n8n or Make for workflows, Claude and other models for the reasoning, wired into the CRM, inbox, and apps you already use. We meet your stack; we don't replace it.

What happens when my process changes?

That's the point of building it to be yours. Small changes you can make from the documentation; bigger ones we handle on a Partner engagement. Either way, nothing breaks behind a wall you can't see.

Who is this not for?

If you want a one-off gimmick or a chatbot for the homepage, we're probably not the fit. We build systems that remove real hours and compound over time — that works best when there's actual manual work to take off your plate.
