Your team already has AI. We make it do the work.
Everyone has access to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Very few companies have AI doing real work inside their systems. We pick the workflows worth automating, connect AI to your tools and data, test it against real cases and put it live, at a fixed price.

Who it’s built for.
- Operations teams buried in email, documents, data entry and follow-ups
- Sales and support teams answering the same questions every day
- Leaders asked for an AI plan who want results, not a slide deck
- Companies whose AI pilot never made it into daily use
Access isn’t the problem. Implementation is.
In 2026 the biggest AI companies started moving into implementation themselves. Anthropic launched an enterprise AI services firm with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman and Goldman Sachs, and OpenAI set up a deployment company backed by more than $4 billion. The reason is simple: companies have the models, but someone still has to decide which workflows change, where the data lives, how the systems connect, and how to get people to use it.
Those firms serve large enterprises. We do the same work for growing companies: one workflow at a time, with a fixed price, a test set that proves it works, and monitoring once it is live.

How it runs, week by week.
Pick the workflow
We time the work, check the data, and agree what “working” means in numbers.
Build the test set
Real examples with the right answers, so quality is measured before launch.
Build and connect
The agent or automation built, connected to your tools and scored against the test set.
Live
Rolled out to your team with monitoring, cost limits and a person in the loop where needed.

Questions, answered.
What does AI implementation cost?
An AI agent for one workflow has a fixed setup price, shown above in your currency, plus model usage you pay the provider directly. An audit to choose the right workflows is also fixed.
Are you an AI automation agency?
In a way, but we go further than connecting tools. Every workflow has a test set, guardrails and monitoring, and we build custom software when an off-the-shelf automation tool can’t do the job.
Which AI models do you use?
Whichever fits on quality, cost and data rules, including models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google, or open models in your own cloud.
Is our data safe?
We use provider settings that exclude your data from training, keep sensitive data in your accounts where possible, and sign an NDA before discovery.
How do we know it works?
We build a test set of real cases before building anything, report the score before launch, and monitor it once live.
