Automation runs deterministic, rules-based workflows: if X happens, do Y. AI handles tasks that need judgment, language, or pattern recognition, like summarizing documents, drafting emails, or classifying tickets. The most useful business systems combine both: automation handles the routing and triggers, AI handles the steps that used to need a human reading or thinking.
It depends on scope. A focused Strategy Consulting engagement is the lightest commitment; a full Automation Build runs anywhere from a few thousand to mid-five-figures depending on complexity, integrations, and AI usage. Every engagement starts with a 30-minute call where we scope honestly and quote a fixed fee before any work starts.
Most clients break even on a build within 60 to 90 days. Strategy Consulting engagements pay back faster, often the roadmap alone surfaces $2K-$8K per month in tool spend that can be cut immediately, before anything else gets built.
Mostly operating teams of 5 to 30 people. Established enough to have systems pain, small enough to actually rebuild quickly without a six-month change-management process.
n8n, Claude, Airtable, custom AI agents, plus the systems already in your stack like HubSpot, Notion, Slack, Zapier, Make.com, and any modern API. We don't push a fixed stack; we build on what your team already uses.
No. We free your team from low-leverage repetitive work so they can focus on the things that actually require human judgment, relationships, and creativity. The companies winning with AI right now are amplifying their teams, not shrinking them.
