The leak

The work you cannot get to is costing you right now.

$126K

What the average small business loses every year to calls that simply go unanswered.

411 Locals, 2024
85%

Of callers will not try again if you miss them the first time. 62% just call a competitor.

How much likelier you are to qualify a web lead by answering inside 5 minutes versus 30.

Oldroyd, HBR
88%

Of businesses now run AI somewhere, but only about 6% get real value from it. The gap is execution.

McKinsey, 2025

You already paid for the lead and the phone. The only thing missing is something on the other end that always picks up. That is what we build.

What we build

One shop for every system your business is missing.

Plug-and-play where the work is common, custom where it is not. Same engine underneath. You hire the outcome, not the wiring.

Front desk

AI receptionist

Answers your line day or night, qualifies in three questions, books the calendar, logs the transcript. English and Spanish, in your voice.

Result: every call answered, none lost to a competitor.

Follow-up

The chase engine

Runs the 7, 30, and 90 day cadence on every lead and quote. Knows when to send, when to stop, when to hand back to a human.

Result: more closes from the leads you already have.

Custom CRM

Built around your shop

A CRM that fits how you actually sell instead of the other way around. Pipelines, intake, quoting, and signatures in one place you own.

Result: nothing falls through the cracks, ever.

Custom site

A page that converts

A fast, clean site wired to the receptionist and the CRM. Built to turn an ad click into a booked job, not just a pretty homepage.

Result: more of your ad clicks become booked jobs.

Ads, run monthly

Meta and Google

We write the ads, build the funnel, and manage the spend every month. The leads land in the system that already knows what to do with them.

Result: a steady flow of leads, handled for you.

Reputation

Reviews on autopilot

Asks the right customer for a review at the right moment, drafts the response to every public one, flags what needs a human. Google, Yelp, Facebook.

Result: more 5-star reviews, every one answered.

Knowledge base

Your private memory

Three years of docs, transcripts, and SOPs in a private retrieval layer your team queries like a search bar. Institutional memory, addressable.

Result: answers in seconds, not a hunt through folders.

Reactivation

The win-back caller

Dials your dead-lead list, reopens the conversation, books what books, logs every outcome. The list you already paid for, working again.

Result: dead leads back on the calendar.

Your vault

The Brain

Your whole operation written as plain notes in Obsidian. Every agent reads it and abides by it. More on that below.

Result: rules you own, in plain text, that the agents obey.

The flagship

The Brain. Your business written down, and followed to the letter.

Your whole operation lives as plain notes in Obsidian, a vault you own and can read. Every agent boots from it and abides by it, the same way this studio runs. Change a line, the behavior changes. No black box.

  • Plain notes, yours. Your rules, scripts, and memory in Obsidian files you own and can open any time.
  • The agents obey it. Every agent reads the Brain first and follows it, like a crew following standing orders.
  • Edit in plain English. Change a sentence and the whole system behaves differently. No developer in the loop.
  • Best models on top. The thinking runs on the strongest AI through their APIs. The judgment, memory, and rules stay yours.

SwitchboardReceptionist

Picks up the phone, qualifies the caller, books the calendar. Lives at your number.

PressSocial

Drafts and schedules posts, replies to mentions, flags the press hits worth a look.

InboxEmail

Sorts the inbox, drafts replies, surfaces the three messages you actually need to read.

ChaseFollow-up

Runs the cadence on every lead and quote. Knows when to send and when to stop.

MemoWeekly brief

End-of-week read on every other agent. Five bullets, Saturday morning.

Why trust us

We do not just sell this. We run on it.

One person runs all of it. A CRM company, an AI studio, and two pool-construction companies, one of which signed over $400,000 in new work last month. No team, no floor full of staff. One operator and a stack of agents doing the work of twenty.

The site you are reading was built from scratch by that same stack in about two hours. Running on Claude, orchestrated with Hermes and OpenClaw.

Why now, in numbers

88%

Of organizations now use AI in at least one function, up from 78% a year ago. The wait-and-see window is closing.

McKinsey, 2025
~6%

Of them actually capture real value. Adoption is easy. Getting it to pay is the whole job, and it is the one we do.

McKinsey, 2025
78%

Of buyers go with the business that responds first. Speed is the cheapest edge on the table, and most shops give it away.

Missed-call win-back

Fire this the second a call goes unanswered. Most callers still book if you reach them in minutes.

You are the front desk for [BUSINESS]. A call from [NAME] at [PHONE] just went unanswered. Text them within 2 minutes: - apologize for missing them - ask what they need in one line - offer two specific call-back times - sign off as [BUSINESS] Under 30 words. No emojis.

Quote follow-up

The 7-30-90 chase

Stop letting quotes go cold. This writes the whole follow-up sequence off one job.

Write a 3-message follow-up for a quote I sent [NAME] for [JOB] at [PRICE]. - Day 7: helpful nudge, restate the value, invite questions. - Day 30: a reason to act now (a slot opening, price holds until X). - Day 90: soft check-in, leave the door open. Warm, no pressure. Under 60 words each.

Have you set a budget for it? One question at a time, stay warm. If they qualify, offer the next open slot. Log name, number, answers.
