Stop wondering
where AI fits.
Start shipping it.
You've tried ChatGPT. You signed up for tools. You've sat through the webinar. But nothing real has shipped, and your team is noticing.
We help SMB operators go from “we should look into AI” to “we've got working systems” in weeks, not quarters. Fixed scope. Fixed price. Money-back guarantee.
Early-bird: $500$200: 90 min, written action plan same day. Money-back if we can't find at least 3 hours/week to reclaim.
How are AI tools used in your business today?

You're not behind.
The market is broken.
If AI rollout in your business has stalled, it's probably one of these three things, usually all three at once.
Every AI vendor sounds the same. Nothing ships.
ChatGPT subscriptions. A Copilot pilot that fizzled. A consultant who delivered a 60-slide deck. Maybe a half-built chatbot. None of it changed what your team actually does on Monday morning.
Your team is asking what the AI strategy is. You don't have a clean answer.
You know AI matters. Competitors are talking about it on every call. The board is asking. Your best people want to use it. But you don't have a coherent story, and you don't want to fake one.
AI shouldn't take 6 months and $400k to figure out.
Operators should be able to go from "we should look into AI" to working systems in weeks, not quarters. The traditional consulting playbook (long discovery, slide decks, billable hours) is the problem, not the solution.
Three steps.
From stuck to shipping.
The whole engagement is built around getting you to a working system fast, and making the path to it boring and inspectable.
Find where AI fits.
Start with the AI Time Audit, $200 early-bird (regular $500), 90 min, same-day plan, or the 28-Day Audit ($4,500, 12-month roadmap). You walk away with a written plan naming the exact workflows, tools, and budgets, even if you never hire us again.
Build the first working system.
Pick the highest-ROI workflow from the roadmap and we build it: fixed scope, fixed price. AI receptionist, RAG chatbot, sales outbound agent, content pipeline. Or a custom workflow we haven't productized yet.
Train the team. Or borrow ours.
Operators go through the AI Academy. Need hands? Hire pre-vetted AI builders from the Talent Marketplace. The systems run without us in 30 days. Most clients stay on a small retainer for tuning. Many become long-term partners.
Nine industries.
Nine workflow categories.
If you're in one of these industries, and at least one of these workflow categories hurts in your business, we've probably built it before. The playbook adapts to the vertical; the patterns don't.
Not on the list? Tell us about your business if it's not a fit, we'll point you somewhere it is.
Customer intake & lead qualification
AI assistants triage inbound, score leads against your fit criteria, draft replies, and book qualified ones onto the right person's calendar.
Customer support
RAG chatbots on your help docs and SOPs. Ticket triage, draft replies, escalation routing, humans only see what actually needs them.
Sales outbound
Personalized email + LinkedIn outreach drafted by AI, reviewed by a human, sent at scale. Reply rates that match a senior SDR at 1/9 the cost.
Content & marketing
Blog, social, and SEO content pipelines. Brand voice modeled from past work. 4× output, same editorial team, no slop.
Internal operations
Meeting notes, report generation, document review, data entry, SOP automation. The work nobody wants but everyone has to do.
Knowledge management
Internal RAG over your SOPs, past projects, contracts, and Slack history. Anyone can ask 'how do we do X?' and get the right answer.
Recruiting & HR
Resume screening against your real criteria, interview scheduling, onboarding workflows, exit-interview synthesis.
Finance & ops
Invoice processing, expense categorization, AR/AP follow-ups, monthly reporting. The accounting team's tedium, automated.
Product & data
User-feedback synthesis, churn-signal detection, internal data Q&A in plain English. Decisions made faster on better evidence.
The boring, inspectable
version of magic.
Most consultancies treat their process like a trade secret. We don't. Here's what happens, week by week, with the actual deliverables you receive.
Discovery & system map
Stakeholder interviews. Process inventory. Tooling, data, and document accessibility check. By Friday, we know your operations cold.
Opportunity prioritization
Use case longlist. Cost / benefit modeling. Build vs buy assessment. Risk + readiness scoring. We argue with each other so the recommendations survive scrutiny.
Roadmap drafting
Phased 12-month plan. Budget envelopes per phase. Vendor / build / freelancer recommendations. Internal ownership + capability plan.
Walkthrough & handoff
60-minute walkthrough call. Written PDF roadmap, yours to keep. 30 days of follow-up Q&A. Direct intro to implementation team if you continue.
Strategy decks don't pay rent.
Working systems do.
Numbers from internal program data, 2024–2025 cohort. Detailed methodology on request.
How a 42-person law firm
cut intake from 2 days to 11 minutes.
The intake team was the bottleneck: five paralegals fielding 200+ inbound inquiries a week, half of them not even fits. We built a Claude-backed intake assistant on top of their existing CRM. It triages, drafts replies, and books the right cases straight onto a partner's calendar.
Need hands,
fast?
Sometimes you don't need a 28-day engagement, you need a vetted AI builder this week. Post what you need; we match you with someone who's done it before.
Vetted, not random
Every builder goes through a 5-stage check before they reach you. You see real work, not just a profile.
Hire how you want
By the hour, by the project, or as a fractional team member. Scale up for a build, scale down after.
Backed by Nolola
We make the match and stand behind the engagement. If something's off, you talk to us, not a ticket queue.
No discovery calls
to learn the price.
Most engagements have a fixed setup price plus a monthly. The audit is standalone if you want a roadmap before committing to anything else.

Two timelines.
You pick which one runs.
The honest version. Not all clients become success stories, but the ones who delay almost always end up writing the failure story instead.
The cost of doing nothing.
- Six months from now you're in the same conversation: "we're evaluating AI vendors."
- A competitor who started this quarter has 3 working systems by next quarter.
- Your best people quietly disengage: "leadership keeps talking about AI but nothing happens."
- You spend $50k+ on a strategic consulting engagement that ends in a 60-slide PDF.
- The board asks again. You give the same answer. They notice.
What success looks like.
- 30 days in: your first AI-powered workflow is in production. Your team is using it.
- 60 days in: a written 12-month roadmap your CFO can sign off on, with budgets and named vendors.
- 90 days in: 8–12 hours a week reclaimed across your team. Quantified, repeatable.
- 6 months in: AI is part of how you operate. Not a project. Just infrastructure.
- You're the operator who figured AI out, not the one playing catch-up.
Frequently asked
We've shipped in 9 verticals so far, but the patterns transfer. The 9 operational areas (intake, support, sales outbound, content, ops, knowledge management, HR, finance, product) apply to almost any business. If we can't help, we'll tell you on the first call and refund any deposit, and usually point you to someone who can.
The Time Audit is a 90-minute session that maps your top 3 time-draining workflows and hands you a same-day written action plan, built for solo operators and 1–10 person teams who want quick wins. It's $200 right now as an early-bird rate (regular price $500). The 28-Day Audit is a 4-week engagement with stakeholder interviews, opportunity matrix, and a 12-month roadmap, built for 10–500 person teams planning a real initiative. Book the Time Audit first and we credit what you paid toward the deposit if you upgrade within 90 days.
Most agencies sell decks. Most freelancers sell hours. We productize the early phases (audit, common implementations) so you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs, and we have a vetted bench when you need depth. Fixed prices, money-back guarantee on the audits, written deliverables you keep regardless of next steps.
Both. After the audit, ~70% of clients hire us (or someone from our marketplace) to implement at least one workflow. We charge fixed prices for productized work (AI Receptionist, RAG Chatbot, Sales Outbound Agent, Content Pipeline) and time-and-materials for custom builds.
Most of our clients aren't. Part of every implementation is the handoff: docs, internal training, and a 30-day support window so your team can run the system without us. The Academy also has free fundamentals courses your team can take in parallel.
The Time Audit is refunded if we can't find at least 3 hours/week to reclaim, so it's literally money-back-guaranteed ROI. For implementation, most workflows we ship pay back in 60–90 days at SMB hourly rates. Bigger custom builds (3-6 month engagements) typically pay back inside year 1.
