AI automation agency

Delete the
busywork.

We map the repetitive, copy-paste, "someone-does-this-every-Monday" work out of your business and hand it to software. Zapier and Make workflows, custom GPTs and agents, and reporting pipelines that build themselves — all wired into the tools you already use. AI does the rote half; a human designs the workflow, watches it run, and stays accountable when an edge case shows up.

Workflows you own

The tax nobody put on the invoice

Your team is paid to copy and paste.

Look at where the hours actually go and it's rarely the work people were hired for. It's moving a lead from a form into the CRM, retyping invoice numbers, chasing a status update across three tools, stitching last week's numbers into a deck by hand. Small tasks, multiplied by every day, that quietly eat a salary's worth of attention.

We find that work and delete it. AI does the rote half — reading the message, classifying it, drafting the reply, moving the data — while a human designs the workflow, sets the guardrails, and owns the judgment calls software shouldn't make alone. The point isn't to replace your people. It's to hand them back the hours they've been spending as a clipboard.

What you get

Four ways to delete busywork.

From a single no-code zap to a custom agent that handles a whole inbox, the build is matched to the job — and every one is AI-accelerated, human-owned, and handed to you to keep.

01 Zapier & Make workflows

The fast win. We connect the tools you already pay for — CRM, forms, email, Slack, billing, sheets — so data moves itself and nothing falls through the cracks. No new platform to learn; the automation just runs in the background.

  • Lead, invoice, and ticket routing across your stack
  • No-code and low-code on Zapier, Make, or n8n
  • Built to fail loudly — alerts when something needs a human

02 Custom GPTs & AI agents

When the task needs judgment, not just plumbing. We build assistants that read, classify, draft, and decide — a support triager, an inbox sorter, a proposal drafter — grounded in your own docs so the answers are yours, not generic.

  • Agents grounded in your knowledge base, not the open web
  • Human-in-the-loop on anything that touches a customer
  • Built on OpenAI, Claude, or open models — your call

03 Automated reporting pipelines

Stop rebuilding the same dashboard every Monday. We wire your data sources into a pipeline that pulls, cleans, and ships the numbers on a schedule — the visibility and demand reports land in your inbox or Slack, already done.

  • Ads, analytics, CRM, and finance data in one view
  • Scheduled to email, Slack, or a live dashboard
  • AI-written summaries a human reviews before send

04 You own it, documented

Automation you can't see inside is a liability. Every workflow ships in your own accounts with a plain-English map of what it does, where it runs, and how to change it — so you're never hostage to the agency that built it.

  • Everything in your accounts, under your billing
  • A diagram and SOP for every workflow we ship
  • Handover walkthrough so your team can run and edit it

How a workflow ships

Mapped, built, handed over.

No six-figure transformation deck. A short, transparent loop where AI does the rote half and a human owns the design, the guardrails, and the sign-off before anything touches live data.

Step 01

Map the busywork

One working session to follow a task end to end — every click, tool, and handoff. We score each one on hours saved versus build effort, and pick the highest-leverage workflow to ship first.

Step 02

Build & pressure-test

We build it in your stack, then run it against real, messy inputs — the edge cases, the empty fields, the weird formats. AI moves the data and drafts the outputs; a human sets the guardrails and where it must stop for review.

Step 03

Ship, document, hand over

Go live with monitoring and failure alerts, then hand over a diagram, an SOP, and a walkthrough. You own the workflow, in your accounts, ready to run or change without us.

Where the hours come back

A salary's worth of time, freed.

We don't sell automation by the count of zaps — we sell it by the hours your team stops losing. Before we build anything, we measure how long the current task actually takes; after it ships, we measure again. The gap is the number that matters, and it's the one we report against.

The pattern below is typical: the rote, high-volume work — data entry, routing, reporting, follow-ups — is where automation pays for itself in weeks. The judgment-heavy work stays with your people, now with the boring half lifted off their plate.

Tools we wire together

Built on what you already run.

We connect the platforms you already pay for rather than dragging you onto a new one. Proven, well-documented tools — so your automation stays maintainable long after we hand it over.

Part of a bigger build

Automation is the glue.

AI Automation is one track inside Build & Automate — the Skitrate pillar that ships your assets. Need the asset the automation runs on, or a product to wrap it in? These two are right next door.

Automation runs best when it's wired into the rest of the engine: a virtual assistant handles the exceptions the workflow flags, while Search & AI Visibility and Growth & Demand feed it the leads and data to act on. One team, the whole loop.

Automation questions

Asked, answered.

Will automation replace my team?+

No — it replaces the parts of their job nobody wanted. We automate the rote, repetitive work: data entry, routing, follow-ups, reporting. The judgment work stays with your people, who now have the hours back to do it. Every workflow that touches a customer keeps a human in the loop by design.

What's the difference between a Zapier workflow and a custom agent?+

A Zapier or Make workflow moves data on rules — when this happens, do that. It's perfect for plumbing: routing leads, syncing tools, triggering alerts. A custom GPT or agent adds judgment — it can read, classify, summarise, and draft, grounded in your own docs. We pick the lightest tool that does the job, and combine them when a task needs both the plumbing and the brain.

Is it safe to let AI act on our data?+

It's safe because we design it to be. Workflows run in your own accounts under your billing, agents are grounded in your knowledge base rather than the open web, and anything that touches a customer or moves money stops for human review. We build in failure alerts and logging so you can always see what ran, when, and why — automation you can audit, not a black box.

Do I own what you build, or am I locked in?+

You own all of it. Every workflow ships in your own Zapier, Make, or cloud accounts, with a plain-English diagram, an SOP, and a handover walkthrough so your team can run or change it without us. We'd rather you could fire us and keep the automation than depend on us to keep it alive.

What if I need more than automation?+

Then you're in the right place. AI Automation is one track inside Build & Automate — next to SaaS Development when a workflow deserves a real product, and AI Websites when you need the asset first. And because we're one growth team, a virtual assistant can own the exceptions your workflows flag.

Human judgment. AI horsepower.
