For operators and small teams
Small business AI automation without giving the tools your judgment.
One operator. One workflow. A written plan before a build.
- Fixed scope
- Human approval
- Documentation you keep
Quick answer
Small business AI automation, here, is one practical workflow — follow-up, triage, CRM, reporting, documents, or admin prep — with a person on the judgment. I start most company work with the $1,250 AI Workflow Audit. A Business build is quoted after that and typically lands at $3,750–$7,500. If you are one person, the honest offer is the $1,495 Personal setup, not a team system.
I do not sell a full ops overhaul, an unsupervised agent, or a delivery bench. Current prices live on AI agent setup cost. You review the output before anything is sent or saved.
Decision framework
Pick a path you already repeat. If the work is still being invented, write the SOP. If two people do it two ways, I will say that on the Audit instead of papering over it with software.
Name the reviewer before you name the model. A small team can automate a draft. It cannot skip the owner. That is the whole human-in-the-loop page.
Buy the offer that matches the user. One human’s files and calendar: Personal. A shared inbox or CRM: Audit, then a quote. Unsure: $199 Fit review or tell me. Do not buy Business on this site — there is no public Business checkout.
Example
Illustrative example using fictional information—not customer work.
An independent consultant. Meeting notes after a client check-in. Recap and follow-up that depend on rewriting the same facts. The homepage example is that shape: notes, extract, draft, named consultant approves. Same gates. Illustrative example using fictional information—not customer work.
Those are the same jobs on the examples hub. Use them to see the work, not as a catalog of products.
When this applies
It applies if you are a founder or operator who wants repetitive work off a desk without giving the tools your judgment. It applies if you searched for small business AI automation and you are choosing between a cheap task gig and a wide consultancy. I sit in the middle on purpose: one workflow, written plan first.
When it does not
It does not apply if you want AI to run the business unsupervised. It does not apply if you need a compliance certificate I do not hold. It does not apply if you want Etsy, phone, or voice-agent add-ons — those are not on this site. It does not apply if you need a staffed agency account team. I am one operator. The person who scopes it builds it.
Cost and risk
Fit review $199, credited toward the Audit. Audit $1,250 with a findings guarantee and 100% credit toward Business within 60 days. Personal $1,495. Business typically $3,750–$7,500 after the quote. 50% to start is on the remaining balance after the Audit credit. Math is on the Audit and pricing pages.
Custom AI engagements commonly run well beyond this range. Effortless Agents is intentionally scoped around one practical workflow at a time. The risk I care about is a send or a write nobody reviewed. I will not take that risk to look more “automated.”
FAQ
Is this an AI automation agency?
It is a one-operator studio. If you want the agency-shaped page, use AI automation agency.
Do I have to be in Colorado?
No. Booking hours are Mountain Time. I am a Colorado operator. The work is remote and written first.
What if I only need a personal assistant?
Buy Personal, not a company Audit. Most consultants only build for companies. This Personal offer is built for one person.
Next step
I show the work with a sample Audit, a findings guarantee, and published prices. You review the output before anything is sent or saved. Colorado and Mountain Time stay in the footer and one quiet About line — not in the headline.
Read a matching example, then tell me the task or get the Audit. Also see AI workflow automation, the consultant example, and AI agents for small business.
