Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about automation and AI implementation.
Absolutely. Think of me as your trusted mechanic for business systems. I'll explain everything in plain English, show you exactly how your automation works, and you'll never need to touch code. My job is to handle the complex stuff so you don't have to.
Most developers build and disappear. I provide a complete managed service - I build it, host it, monitor it, and fix it if anything breaks. Plus, with my enterprise background from JPMorgan and billion-dollar startups, I build systems designed to scale with you, not band-aid solutions.
I've rarely met a tool that can't be automated somehow. If there's no API, there are usually workarounds. During our discovery call, we'll verify everything can connect. If for some reason we can't automate your specific tool, I'll suggest alternatives or we'll find another solution - you won't pay for something that doesn't work.
Simple and transparent: a one-time build fee to create your custom automation, then a predictable monthly fee where I keep everything running, make minor adjustments, and ensure it all works perfectly. No surprises, no hourly billing that incentivizes slow work.
That's why you pay the monthly maintenance fee - so it's my problem, not yours. I monitor all systems and usually fix issues before you even notice. If something does break, you message me and I handle it. You're not left trying to debug code at midnight.
Yes. While most clients prefer I handle everything, I can transfer the automation to your team if needed. I'll provide documentation and even train your team. No vendor lock-in.
Most automations are live within 2-4 weeks from approval. Complex AI implementations might take 4-6 weeks. I'll give you a timeline during our proposal.
Absolutely. My solutions are designed to pay for themselves through time saved and efficiency gained. Most clients save 10-20 hours per week on manual work alone. Plus, we donate 5% of our annual profits to meaningful causes because we practice what we preach. Let's talk—if you're building a business with purpose, we'll find a way to make it work.
An automation and AI implementation studio is a specialized consultancy that helps businesses identify repetitive processes and data opportunities, then builds custom automated solutions using tools like n8n, artificial intelligence APIs, and low-code platforms. We specifically help mission-driven small businesses (under 10 employees) implement enterprise-grade automation without enterprise costs.
We provide custom business process automation, AI integration, dashboard creation, chatbot development, automated data synchronization between apps, intelligent document processing (like automated SOAP notes), automated customer communication systems, payment workflow automation, and real-time reporting solutions. Everything is built using reliable platforms like n8n, Claude AI, Supabase, and Power BI.
n8n is a self-hostable, highly flexible automation platform that we prefer because it can be customized extensively and hosted securely. Zapier and Make are cloud-only alternatives that work well for simple automations but have limitations. Custom coded automation requires ongoing developer maintenance. Our approach using n8n gives you the flexibility of custom code with the reliability of a platform, plus we handle all hosting and maintenance.
We integrate AI models like Claude and GPT into existing business workflows to handle tasks like document analysis, customer communication, data extraction, content generation, and decision support. For example, we've built AI that generates clinical SOAP notes from recordings, chatbots that replace static forms, and AI agents that handle customer follow-ups. We make AI practical and accessible for non-technical teams.
We specialize in e-commerce and retail brands with giving programs—businesses doing buy-one-give-one, percentage of sales donations, checkout donations, or similar models. Think Bombas, tentree, Warby Parker. We help companies with 10-200 employees who want to run efficient operations without sacrificing their mission. We handle ALL your automation needs, not just donation tracking.
Yes, we specialize in connecting disparate systems. If your software has an API, we can almost certainly automate it. We've connected tools like Kajabi with QuickBooks, built bridges between databases and Power BI, synced multiple CRMs, and created workflows spanning 5+ different applications. We work with your existing tech stack rather than requiring migrations.
Low-code automation uses visual, node-based tools like n8n to build automations faster and more maintainably than traditional coding. It allows rapid development, easier updates, and doesn't require a full development team to maintain. We chose low-code because it delivers enterprise-grade results at small business timelines and budgets.
Our pricing model includes a one-time build fee (typically $2,000-15,000 depending on complexity) plus a monthly maintenance fee ($200-1,000) where we host, monitor, and maintain your automations. This is more cost-effective than hiring a VA or additional staff, and more reliable than one-off freelance projects.
Business automation solves: repetitive data entry, manual report generation, delayed customer follow-ups, information silos between departments, human error in repetitive tasks, inability to scale without hiring, lack of real-time insights, inconsistent process execution, and time wasted on administrative tasks instead of core mission work.
Yes, we build intelligent chatbots that go beyond simple decision trees. Our chatbots can have natural conversations, adapt questions based on responses, integrate with your database, and provide personalized experiences. We've replaced long, intimidating forms with conversational interfaces that actually engage users and capture richer data.
Absolutely. We automate your entire operation—from Shopify orders to QuickBooks to donation tracking to impact reporting. We build dashboards that show sales AND giving metrics together, automate customer communications during campaigns, and generate reports for both stakeholders and charity partners. Your giving program becomes seamless, not a separate headache.
Intelligent process automation combines traditional automation with AI to handle complex, judgment-based tasks. For example, instead of just moving data, IPA can analyze it, make decisions, flag anomalies, or generate insights. We implement IPA for tasks like automatically reviewing clinical sessions, intelligently routing customer inquiries, or dynamically adjusting workflows based on context.
Yes, we implement AI-powered analytics that go beyond static dashboards. This includes automated insight generation, anomaly detection, predictive analytics, natural language querying of databases, and automated report narratives. We've helped businesses move from manual Excel updates to intelligent systems that surface insights automatically.
Automation typically saves 10-20 hours per week of manual work, reduces errors by 95%, enables 24/7 operations without additional staff, and allows small teams to handle 3-5x more volume. For mission-driven organizations, this means more resources directed to impact rather than administration.
Simple automations (like connecting two apps) can be live within a week. Medium complexity projects (like chatbots or dashboard creation) typically take 2-4 weeks. Complex AI implementations or multi-system integrations usually complete within 4-6 weeks. We provide clear timelines during our proposal phase.
Unlike freelance developers who build and leave, we provide ongoing support and maintenance. We have enterprise experience from JPMorgan and billion-dollar startups, use proven low-code platforms for reliability, offer transparent pricing without hourly billing surprises, and specifically understand the needs of mission-driven organizations. We're not just coders - we're automation strategists who ensure the solution actually solves your business problem.
