AI agents for small business

AI agents that do real work in a small business.

An AI agent is an assistant that knows your company and takes action. It answers questions from your policies, turns meetings into tracked tasks, recruits candidates and follows up so nobody has to. We set them up for owner-led companies, inside the assistant each person already likes.

What they do

Six jobs AI agents take off a small team's plate.

Onboarding

New hires work on day one

Each new person gets an assistant that already knows your org chart, your policies, where the files live and how the team works. They skip the binder and do real work the first morning.

Meetings

Meetings turn into tracked tasks

The meeting is recorded and turned into tasks for the right people, with due dates, before everyone is back at their desks. Every follow-up gets chased until it's done.

From meeting to done →
Recruiting

An AI recruiting agent

It finds candidates, screens them, sends a free DISC assessment and follows up, so your hiring manager only meets people who fit.

HR and policies

Answers from your own policies

Time off, payroll, benefits and "how do we do this here" questions get answered from your current policies, not someone's memory.

Custom apps

Apps for the work you still do by hand

We build small apps with Lovable. Our own payroll for 75 hourly employees went from 9 hours to 1, and time-off admin went from 12 hours a week to zero.

AI agent, chatbot or automation: what's the difference?

Questions

AI agents for small business, answered.

What is an AI agent?

An AI agent is an AI assistant that knows your business and can act on it. Instead of only answering questions, it uses your policies and files, hands out tasks, follows up and asks the right person when it's stuck.

Do I need a tech team to use AI agents?

No. We do the setup. Your people paste one setup into the assistant they already use, and we stay with you after day one.

Which AI assistant should my team use?

The one they like. We work with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Grok Bot, Muse and more. The setup belongs to you, so switching assistants takes one paste.

Is my company's information safe?

Access starts with only what each role needs. Anything more is a request that comes to you to approve, every request is logged, and when someone leaves their access ends with one click.

How fast can we start?

New hires are up and running on day one. Book a free discovery call and we'll map out where AI agents save your team the most time.

Will AI agents replace my employees?

They take the busywork: note-taking, chasing follow-ups, hunting for files and answering the same policy questions. Your people spend that time on the work only they can do.
