02 · Automation

Everyone has AI now. Almost nobody has it doing any work.

The hard part was never the model. It is working out which part of your process is worth automating, and then actually wiring it in. We sit with the process first and build the agent second.

01

A named process that runs without anyone remembering to run it

02

An agent grounded in your data, allowed to say it does not know

03

An honest answer when automation is the wrong tool

How this actually goes

The model was never the hard part.

Most AI projects fail at the same place — not the technology, but nobody having written down what the process actually is. So that is where we start.

  1. 01Today

    Somebody remembers to do it

    A person opens three tabs, copies fields between them, and sends a message. Every day. It works until they are on holiday.

  2. 02We sit with it

    The process gets written down

    Not the tool — the decision. What triggers it, what data it needs, what a correct outcome looks like, and where a human still has to sign off.

  3. 03Then we build

    It runs whether or not anyone remembers

    An agent grounded in your data, with explicit permission to say it does not know, and a handover to a person when it should not decide alone.

If step two shows automation is the wrong answer, we say so and you pay nothing further. That happens more often than the industry admits.

How much does an AI chatbot cost for a small business?

A chatbot trained on your own content and pricing is $1,199 to build and $150/month to host and keep tuned. Individual workflow automations are $1,000 each. Anything genuinely custom starts at $4,000 — and we will tell you when a chatbot is not the answer.

What that includes

  • Trained strictly on your content — it says "I don't know" rather than inventing
  • Answers pricing and scope questions accurately
  • Captures and qualifies leads
  • Hands off to a human with the conversation attached
  • Workflow automation for the admin nobody wants to do
  • Hosting, monitoring and ongoing tuning

Won't it just make things up and embarrass me?

That is the main risk with these, and it is a build decision rather than a model decision. We ground it in your real content, give it explicit permission to say it does not know, and forbid it from inventing capabilities, prices or timelines. The chatbot on this site is built exactly that way — try to catch it out.
