We build AI Employees for Main Street businesses trained on your work, running in your tools, backed by a guarantee that doesn't stop at "delivered": we keep working free until it works.

"I just need to clone myself."
Every owner we talk to says some version of the same three things:
We keep saying we'll do X and never do.
I'd hire somebody, but I can't find the right person.
Everyone's running a hundred miles an hour and nothing moves forward.
It's not a discipline problem. It's that you and your best people spend most of the week on work that doesn't need a human anymore, chasing status, formatting proposals, answering the same five questions, feeding the CRM. The important work loses to the urgent work, every single week.
That's the work AI Employees take back.
Not a chatbot. A trained member of your team.
An AI Employee is a system built for one job in your business, trained on how you actually do that job, running inside the tools you already pay for. It works around the clock, never calls in sick, and costs about $90 a month to keep on staff and typically gets cheaper per AI Employee the more you add. Three examples:
The lead responder.
A new inquiry hits your inbox at 7:40 on a Tuesday night. Your Speed2Lead AI Employee replies in under 60 seconds in your voice, on the right channel, with one clear next step. The lead that used to go cold by morning books a call instead.
The proposal builder.
Your estimator's notes go in; a formatted, branded, priced proposal comes out in minutes, not the three days it sits in the "when I get to it" pile. Deals stop dying of old age.
The invoice chaser.
It knows who owes you, how late they are, and how they like to be talked to. Gentle nudge for the good customer, firm follow-up for the repeat offender. You stop being the collections department.
$90k
Modeled first-year savings for an example $5M company that cancels one $4,000/mo retainer and reclaims 10 hrs/wk at $75/hr. Your number comes from your Assessment.
50 hrs/wk
The design target for a full Sprint: owner and senior-team hours moved off repetitive work across 3–5 AI Employees. Measured against a baseline we set together on Day 1.
636%
636% — Illustrative 12-month return in the same example: a $5M company at 10% margin moving to 12% on a $15,720 build. A model, not a client result.
The numbers, plainly
$90/month covers the core platform. Add-on features like SMS response, additional channels, custom integrations are quoted at the Fit Call so you only pay for what fits your business. One development fee. No retainer required.
Figures above are a worked example, not results from a specific client. Every engagement starts with a signed Day-1 baseline so your results are measured against your own numbers. Guarantee terms are in the MSA Client Engagement Agreement.
The Main Street Guarantee
Every build we sell carries the same promise: we keep working free until it works. No money-back gimmick on the build, because a refund leaves you exactly where you started and we'd rather stay in it until the system earns its keep. The one exception $2,500 Payoff Map, the one money-back offer. If the map does not find you at least 10 hours a week worth reclaiming, or a vendor bill of $500 a month or more you can cut, itemized, you get the $2,500 back.
The specific guarantee for each offer is spelled out on its page Speed2Lead · 90-Day Sprint · AI Payoff Map
Three ways to start. Every paid step credits 100% toward the Sprint.
The 90-Day Sprint is the build. The other doors exist so you can prove the fit (and the math) before you commit. Commit within 60 days and every dollar you spent on the way in comes off the Sprint price.

Want proof first? Start small.
$2500 AI Payoff Map — The fastest way to find out where AI pays off first in your business, and what it must never touch, before you spend a dollar building anything. It starts before we talk: you send your last three months of software invoices, so I walk in already knowing what you pay for. Then a 60-minute working call with me, not a junior, not a slideshow. Then I come to you for a half day to walk your operation and talk with the people who run it. Within 7 business days of the visit you get a 10-to-15-page report scoped to your business: a vendor spend audit, the three AI Employees that would save you the most hours and dollars in your first 90 days, the real math on each, straight build-vs-buy guidance (including when not to hire me), and the order to run them in.
$3,500 Speed2Lead — your first AI Employee, deployed in 14 days. Every inbound lead answered in under 60 seconds, in your voice. Day-14 quality bar or we keep working free until it hits it.
Ready to build? Do the 90-Day Sprint.
$15,000 — three to five AI Employees in production, your institutional knowledge made searchable, reporting on tap, a vendor retainer audit with at least one retainer cancelled, and one long-stalled project finally shipped. Backed by the Day-90 Guarantee and the Day-180 Backstop.
Founding pricing: 3 spots at $15,000 as of 10/2026. When they're filled, the price is $22,000.
AI Payoff Map and Speed2Lead credits don't stack, the larger one applies. Net Sprint can be as low as $11,500 after the Assessment and Speed2Lead credits
