We work out where AI pays in your business, then build it.

Got here from an email we sent? You've found the right people.

Have you ever found out too late about something you'd have caught yourself?

A busy week hides things. Not because you're careless, but because nobody can read it all.

We take the reading, sorting and chasing off people's desks, in every department.

We work with owner-led US firms of roughly 20 to 1,000 people. Usually the owner still sees too much of the mail.

Read the common questionsAsk for a first conversation

Straight answers

The questions owners ask us first.

What do you actually do?

We find the dull, repeated work in a firm and hand it to software. It reads, sorts and drafts. A person still makes every call.

Which parts of the business?

All of them: sales, finance, operations, HR, customer service and marketing. Twelve common jobs are listed further down.

Are we big enough for this?

Most firms we talk to have 20 to 1,000 people. If good staff lose hours to reading and chasing, you're big enough.

Do you need our logins to start?

No. The first conversation needs no access at all. If you go ahead later, you choose what we can read.

Will it send emails by itself?

No. Nothing goes out without a person approving it. It prepares the work, and your people decide.

What if it's the wrong tool for us?

Then we say so. Sometimes the answer is a checklist or a hire. We'd rather tell you than build the wrong thing.

Who would we talk to?

One of our co-founders. It's free, takes about an hour, and you can bring your whole list.

What should we prepare?

Nothing. Come as you are. We'll ask how your week runs and listen.

The jobs we hand to software, by department.

Two from each department. Every one is a job someone does by hand today.

  • Sales · Follow-ups

    Quotes you promised, actually sent

    Now: You told a client you'd send numbers by Friday. Friday passed under other work.

    Then: A weekly list shows every open promise in your sent mail, oldest first.

    Clients get what you said before they have to chase you.

    Insurance agencies · Construction

  • Sales · Enquiries

    New enquiries answered while they're warm

    Now: Web enquiries wait until someone free reads the inbox. Sometimes that's two days.

    Then: Each enquiry is read on arrival, sorted by fit, with a reply drafted.

    Good prospects hear from you the same morning.

    Home health · Wealth management

  • Finance · Collections

    Overdue invoices chased politely, every week

    Now: Late payers get chased when someone remembers, usually at month end.

    Then: Each Monday lists who is overdue, with a courteous note drafted per client.

    Cash comes in sooner, without awkward calls.

    Staffing · Wholesale distribution

  • Finance · Receipts

    Card spend matched to its receipts

    Now: Card statements arrive with half the receipts missing. Someone hunts for the rest.

    Then: Each charge is paired with its receipt, and gaps are listed by person.

    The books close without a receipt hunt.

    Construction · Accounting and tax

  • Operations · The owner's mail

    The client note that needs you, read first

    Now: Your inbox fills overnight. A client's urgent question hides between alerts and receipts.

    Then: Before 8 a.m., a short page lists the few emails that need you, in order.

    You reply to the right person first.

    Staffing · Property management

    See the morning read
  • Operations · Sign-offs

    Everything stuck waiting on your yes

    Now: A proposal, a refund and a hire each wait for your sign-off. You're in meetings all day.

    Then: One short list shows what waits on you, and for how long.

    Ten minutes clears it, and work moves again.

    Accounting and tax · Manufacturing

  • HR · New starters

    New hires ready on their first morning

    Now: HR, IT and payroll each own a piece. Day one starts with missing logins.

    Then: Every step starts when the offer is signed, with owners and dates.

    People do real work from day one.

    Staffing · Home health

    See the readiness list
  • HR · Time off

    Leave requests that don't wreck the rota

    Now: Requests arrive by text and email. Clashes show up the week they happen.

    Then: Each request is checked against your cover rules, and clashes are flagged early.

    Managers approve with the whole picture in front of them.

    Manufacturing · Home health

  • Customer service · Client paperwork

    Documents chased with a personal note

    Now: Some clients never open the portal. Staff end up chasing them by phone, one by one.

    Then: A weekly list names who owes what, with a note drafted in your firm's voice.

    Staff review documents instead of hunting for them.

    Accounting and tax · Wealth management

  • Customer service · New clients

    New-client forms complete the first time

    Now: One blank signature bounces a set of forms back, and the client is asked again.

    Then: Each form is checked for blanks and signatures before it goes out.

    New clients find you easy to join.

    Insurance agencies · Wealth management

    See the forms check
  • Marketing · Existing clients

    Clients told what else you do

    Now: Clients buy one service and get the second elsewhere. Nobody had time to ask.

    Then: A monthly list groups clients by the service they lack, with a note drafted.

    Clients buy from you first.

    Insurance agencies · Accounting and tax

    See the gap list
  • Marketing · Reviews

    Pleased clients asked for a review on time

    Now: Review requests go out in bulk, or never. Unhappy clients get asked too.

    Then: After a finished job, a request is drafted only for clients who were pleased.

    More of the right clients speak up for you.
