03
The problem

A 42-person law firm replaced a 5-paralegal intake team with a Claude-backed assistant that triages, drafts, and books the right cases straight onto a partner's calendar — in 4 weeks.

What I did

From 2-day intake to 11-minute intake

The result

11 min median intake time

Services

Four ways to work
together.

Most engagements start with a sprint or workshop. Deployments and the fractional Chief of AI are usually month two and beyond.

Workshops

From $0 (free) → $4k cohorts

Bi-weekly free workshop for owners + private team workshops on demand. Half a day to give your whole team the same operating system for 'where AI fits, where it doesn't.'

Deployment

Fixed prices · $1,500 – $60k

Productized builds (AI Receptionist, RAG Chatbot, Sales Outbound Agent, Content Pipeline) installed and tuned to your business. Custom workflows priced before kickoff.

Sprints

$200 early-bird (was $500, 90 min) · $4,500 (28 days)

Time Audit (90-min same-day plan) for solo operators, $200 early-bird, regular $500. 28-Day Audit (4-week roadmap) for 10–500 person teams. Both fixed-price, both money-back guaranteed.

Fractional Chief of AI

$7,500/mo · 2 days/week

Embedded leadership without the full-time hire. Strategy, vendor management, internal training, cross-functional rollouts. Replaces a $250k+ FTE while you scale.

What operators say

The honest version.

We'd already burned $40k on two consulting engagements that never shipped. Nolola installed our intake assistant in 4 weeks. Median intake time dropped from 2 days to 11 minutes.

The 28-Day Audit was worth 10× what we paid. The roadmap is now what our CFO uses to defend AI spend in board meetings, every line item has a vendor, a budget, and a payback window.

I replaced a $9k/mo SDR contractor with their AI outbound system, kept the reply rate, and 9×'d the volume. Reviewer is our part-time sales lead. Pure margin.

About

The team
behind the work.

Engineers · ex-operators · vetted bench specialists

Nolola is an AI implementation studio. The team has spent the last decade building production automation systems for small and mid-sized businesses, content pipelines, intake assistants, sales automation, internal RAG, and the operational glue that connects them, for 30+ SMB clients across legal, e-commerce, and professional services.

The pattern that kept showing up: owners knew AI mattered, but every advisor pitched a 6-month deck before any line of code shipped. Nolola exists to do the opposite. Fixed scope. Fixed price. Money-back guarantees on the sprints. The actual system, in production, in weeks.

We're a small operator-led team, engineers and ex-operators who've shipped real systems, not slide-makers who've never had to maintain one. Every engagement is led by a senior who's been through the job before. We pull in additional specialists from a vetted bench when projects need depth or scale.

Async-first, time-zone-distributed, with same-business-day response standards. Currently working with US, UK, Canadian, and Australian SMBs.
