AI Starter Install
You know AI matters. You have no idea where to start. We do. In two weeks we wire one working AI system into the part of your business that is bleeding the most time, and hand it to you running.
For owners and operators with no AI experience and no time to learn it. You do not pick a model. You do not write a prompt. You do not set anything up.
What Is the AI Starter Install?
The AI Starter Install is the simplest way to get one real, working piece of AI into your business when you do not have an AI budget, an AI person, or the time to figure it out yourself. We spend three days finding the single task that costs your team the most repeated hours, two weeks building an AI system that does it, and a short session teaching you to run it. You end up with one thing that works, not a pile of tools and tabs you have to learn.
The Problem
Everyone keeps telling you to use AI. Nobody tells you what to actually do on Monday morning. So nothing happens.
- ✗You opened ChatGPT once, did not know what to type, and closed the tab
- ✗Your team still answers the same customer questions and rewrites the same emails every single day
- ✗The AI articles all assume you already have a tech team. You have a business to run
- ✗Hiring an AI expert costs six figures, and the agencies want a long discovery project before anything works
The Install
We skip the theory and the long discovery. You get one working system, built for your actual business, in two weeks.
- ✓We find the one task with the clearest payback and build the AI system that handles it
- ✓No models to choose, no prompts to write, no setup. We hand it to you already running
- ✓A 15-minute video shows your team exactly how to use it. No training course required
- ✓One fixed price, agreed before we start. No hourly billing, no surprises
What Do You Get?
One working system, the documentation to run it, and a month of support. Everything is built for you.
The Right First Workflow
A short, plain-language finding of the single task costing you the most repeated hours, and why it is the best place to start.
One Working AI System
The actual built system, wired into how you already work, doing the task for you on day one. Not a plan, not a recommendation. A working thing.
15-Minute How-To Video
A short walkthrough showing your team exactly how to use the system. Watch once and you are running.
Tool Setup in Your Name
Any AI subscription is set up under your account and billed to you (usually $20 to $60 a month), so you own it outright with nothing locked to us.
30 Days of Support
A month of answers and small adjustments included, so the system settles into your real week instead of breaking the first time something is different.
A Clear Next Step
A one-page note on the next two workflows worth automating, if and when you want them. No obligation to take it.

What a First Install Looks Like
Real examples of the kind of workflow we wire in first, drawn from the everyday businesses that run the physical economy.
Hours saved assume a $35/hr fully-loaded labour cost. Your install targets whichever of these (or something like it) costs you the most.
| Business | Before (manual) | After the install | Hours saved/week |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trucking / dispatch | Dispatcher hand-types check-in and ETA emails to customers all day | AI drafts every status update from the load board, dispatcher approves and sends | 8 hrs |
| 12-person accounting firm | Staff re-key new client intake forms and chase missing documents by hand | AI reads intake, flags what is missing, and drafts the follow-up emails | 6 hrs |
| Retail / shop | Owner answers the same product and hours questions across email and DMs | AI answers routine questions instantly, owner only sees the real ones | 7 hrs |
| Trades / home services | Job notes scribbled in a van get turned into quotes and invoices at night | AI turns the notes into a clean quote or invoice in minutes | 5 hrs |
What It Costs
One fixed price, quoted before we start and never changed mid-project. No hourly billing, no open-ended scope.
AI Starter Install
- ✓Discovery and the fixed quote
- ✓One workflow built, tested, and wired in
- ✓15-minute how-to video for your team
- ✓Tool setup under your own account
- ✓30 days of support and adjustments
- ✓90-day payback guarantee
Price depends only on workflow complexity. Quoted on the call, before any commitment.
If it does not pay for itself, we keep working
If the installed workflow has not saved you back the cost of the install within 90 days, we keep adjusting it at no charge until it does. The whole point is one thing that works.
Where It Goes From Here
Most owners do one install, watch it work for a few weeks, then decide whether to do more. Every step after the first is optional.
The first install is fully usable on its own. You are never locked into the next stage.
AI Starter Install
One workflow wired in and working, in two weeks. The on-ramp.
Automation Starter
Once the first one pays off, we build three more workflows in 30 days.
Industry AI Package
Five workflows tailored to your industry, with integrations and team training.
Monthly Advisory
Ongoing guidance so AI keeps paying off as your business changes.
Common Questions
The questions owners ask most before booking a call.
Do I need to know anything about AI to do this?
No. That is the entire point of the AI Starter Install. You do not choose between ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. You do not write prompts or set anything up. We do the technical work and hand you a system that already runs, plus a short video showing your team how to use it. If you can describe what slows your week down, you have everything you need to start.
What kind of workflow can you actually automate first?
Anything repetitive that runs on text or data. Common first installs include answering the same customer questions over email or chat, drafting quotes and follow-ups, turning job notes into invoices, sorting and routing incoming requests, and generating routine reports. In the first three days we look at where your team spends the most repeated hours and pick the one with the clearest payback.
How long does it take and what do I have to do?
Two weeks from start to a working system. Your time commitment is roughly two hours total: one call at the start to understand your work, and one short session at the end to learn the system and approve it. We build everything in between.
How much does it cost and are there surprise fees?
A fixed price between $1,500 and $3,500, quoted before we start and never changed mid-project. The price depends only on how complex the chosen workflow is. There is no hourly billing and no open-ended scope. Any ongoing AI tool subscription (usually $20 to $60 per month) is yours and is small relative to the time it saves.
Is my business data safe, and does this meet Canadian privacy rules?
Yes. We default to business tiers of AI tools that do not train on your data, and we keep customer and financial information out of consumer tools entirely. Where your work involves sensitive data, the build follows PIPEDA-aligned handling and we tell you in plain language where your data goes and who can see it.
What happens after the two weeks?
You own a working system and 30 days of support are included for questions and small adjustments. There is no obligation to continue. If the first install pays off and you want more, the natural next step is the Automation Starter, where we build three workflows at once, or a monthly advisory retainer. Most owners do one install, see it work, then decide.
