5 new builds per month. Current month: 3 of 5 booked.
Hire a full-time AI employee in 30 days.
Revenue, Ops, Support, or Founder EA. Built into your business, trained on your data, launched in 30 days. If it does not earn its keep in the next 45, you get every cent back.
You did not start your business to run Slack at 11pm.
The owner-operators we work with all hit the same ceiling. Revenue plateaus. Hiring feels impossible. Every new customer adds 10 hours of ops before it adds a dollar of margin. The founder becomes the bottleneck, and the founder is tired.
The team math
$7,500/month, 3-month ramp
A decent ops hire is four figures a month, takes a quarter to onboard, and leaves in 14 months. By the time they are useful, you are already overloaded.
The founder math
20 hours/week of leverage
20 hours a week of your time, permanently reclaimed. Not automated. Done. By an agent that works nights, weekends, and does not ask for a raise.
30 days from signature to a fully-trained AI employee.
No months-long proof of concepts. No “pilot to nowhere. ” One month of focused build, training, and supervised launch. Then you have a new team member.
Day 0
Discovery call
60 minutes. We map your workflows, your tools, your ICP, and pick the one agent that will move the needle first.
Day 1 to 7
Build
We wire your agent into your stack, ingest your content, write the playbooks, configure the tools. You do nothing.
Day 8 to 21
Train on your data
Your agent learns your voice, your offer, your playbook. Every output is reviewed with you until it sounds like your team.
Day 22 to 30
Launch
Soft launch, supervised. We watch every action. You approve the first week of live output. Then hand over the keys.
Day 31+
Operate
Your agent works 24/7. You get weekly reports, monthly tune-ups, and a real human on Slack when something breaks.
Four agents. One hire. Start where the pain is loudest.
We deliberately build only one agent in the first 30 days. Focus beats breadth. Once the first one is earning its keep, we add the next on your monthly plan.
Revenue Agent
Runs cold sequences, replies to inbound leads, books calls on your calendar. Trained on your ICP, your offer, your objection patterns.
- Personalised outbound at 10x human throughput
- Inbound reply under 3 minutes, 24/7
- Meetings booked directly to your calendar
- Weekly pipeline report in your inbox
Ops Agent
Owns weekly project updates, status notes, client check-ins, and the 15-minute tasks that never make it onto your roadmap.
- Weekly status notes to every active client
- Internal standup summary every morning
- Project health flags before they become fires
- Async updates in Slack, Notion, or your PM tool
Support Agent
Handles the repetitive client requests. Escalates the ones that actually need a human, with a clean summary attached.
- First response in under 60 seconds
- Resolves ~70% of tickets without escalation
- Clean escalation summary when a human is needed
- Full audit trail of every interaction
Founder EA
Your personal assistant. Inbox triage, calendar defence, meeting prep, follow-ups, and the small things that steal your focus.
- Inbox triaged before you open your laptop
- Calendar defended against low-value meetings
- Meeting briefs 15 minutes before every call
- Nothing drops, nothing gets forgotten

A double guarantee. In writing.
30-day delivery
If we do not put a fully-working agent into your business within 30 days of kickoff, you pay nothing. Not the setup fee, not the monthly.
45-day performance
If the agent does not move the metric we agreed on in writing during the first 45 days, we refund the full setup fee. And you keep the agent.
The math, for the skeptical.
Numbers below assume the conservative case. A Revenue Agent booking 8 qualified calls a month, or an Ops Agent reclaiming 20 founder hours a week.
Revenue case
8 calls/mo
At your current close rate and ACV, one additional closed client every other month pays for the entire first year.
Ops case
20 hrs/wk
At $150/hr blended founder time, that is $156,000 of reclaimed leverage in year one.
Break-even
Month 2
Across every engagement we have run, the agent pays for itself inside the first 60 days. Usually faster.
A good fit if...
- SMB owner-operator, 10 to 200 employees
- $2M to $50M in annual revenue
- Services, e-commerce, SaaS, or B2B distribution
- Using modern tools (Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Intercom, or similar)
- Ready to give an agent real work, not a sandbox project
- Willing to spend 3 hours a week in weeks 1 to 4 on training
Skip this page if...
- You want a chatbot or a no-code automation
- You expect us to work with a team you cannot point to
- You need the agent live in under 14 days
- You cannot sign off on a 45-day performance metric
- You are exploring without a specific job to hire for
Built on research. Priced for operators.
We run our own AI safety research. Our Halo guard model protects every agent we ship, so when your agent talks to a client, it does not embarrass you. You do not need to think about any of that. We do.
Halo-protected
Every agent ships with our guard model on top. Jailbreaks, prompt injection, and off-brand output are caught before they reach the client.
Your stack
Runs inside your Slack, your CRM, your PM tool. No new dashboards for your team to learn. No data leaving your systems.
Real humans
A dedicated engineer on Slack. Not a ticket queue, not a chatbot-about-the-chatbot. A real person who knows your setup.
30 days from now, you could have your first AI employee.
Or you could have the same inbox, the same 11pm Slack, and the same plateau. The discovery call is 30 minutes and costs nothing.
Limited to 5 new builds per month.
