Inbox triage
New mail gets sorted into what needs you, what can wait, and what it can answer from a reply you've already approved. You see a short list instead of two hundred unread.
AI agents for small businesses
We set up an AI agent for your business, then keep it running.
It sorts your inbox, keeps your calendar, drafts follow-ups and sends you a brief each morning. You pay a fixed price for the build and a flat monthly fee for upkeep. It runs in your own account, so the data never leaves your hands.

What it does
The admin that fills your evenings, handled during the day.
Your agent works over Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp or iMessage, and connects to Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. A few of the jobs owners hand off first:
Daily brief
At 7 a.m. you get one message: today's meetings, overdue invoices, and the emails that actually need an answer from you.
Follow-ups
A quote went out four days ago and nobody replied. The agent notices and drafts the nudge, ready for you to send.
Scheduling
It finds a time that works for everyone, sends the invite, and rebooks when someone cancels.
Weekly report
Every Friday: jobs closed, revenue booked, leads that went quiet. Pulled from your email and CRM rather than typed up by hand.
Something specific to you
Most businesses have one repetitive task nobody else does quite the same way. On the call, we'll work out whether an agent can take it.
How it works
Four steps, and you know the price before we start.
-
01
Discovery call
Thirty minutes on how your week actually runs. We pick the jobs worth handing off, and you get a written proposal with a fixed price.
-
02
Build
A 50% deposit reserves your build slot. Over about a week we set up a server in your cloud account, connect email, calendar and documents, and configure each automation.
-
03
Handoff
We walk your team through it and leave a one-page guide and a short training video. The balance is due at go-live.
-
04
Care plan
We monitor the agent, apply updates, make two changes a month at your request, and fix problems within one business day.

Fixed prices. No hourly billing.

Care plan $450/mo
Payment. 50% to book a build slot, 50% at go-live.
Care plan. Required for the first three months, then month to month. Covers updates, monitoring, two changes a month and next-business-day fixes.
Running costs. The server (usually $6–12 a month) and AI usage bill straight to your own accounts. We don't resell either or mark them up.
Ownership and safety
It's your agent. We just look after it.
Your cloud account
The agent runs on a private server in an account you own. You can see it, pay for it directly, and shut it off whenever you like.
Your AI key
It uses your own Anthropic or OpenAI key, so usage shows up on your bill at the provider's price.
Your data
Email, files and notes stay in your accounts. We don't copy them into ours, and your passwords live in a vault you control.
Approvals on
Outbound email and anything involving money wait for your OK. Once you trust how it works, you decide what it can do alone.
Every action logged
There's a plain record of what the agent read, drafted and sent, so you can check its work at any time.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I need to be technical?
No. If you can send a text message, you can use it. We handle the server, the connections and the updates.
What will it cost to run, beyond the care plan?
A small server, usually $6–12 a month, plus AI usage on your own key. Usage depends on how much you ask of it, and we'll give you an estimate on the discovery call.
What if it gets something wrong?
Anything that leaves the building, like an email to a client or a payment, waits for your approval until you choose otherwise. Every action is logged, and the care plan covers fixes within one business day.
Which tools does it work with?
Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for email, calendar and documents. Most CRMs with an API. For chat, Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp or iMessage. If you rely on something else, ask on the call.
Can I cancel the care plan?
After the first three months, yes, with no penalty. The agent stays in your account and keeps working. You just stop receiving updates, changes and fixes from us.
Can you see my email?
We need access to set things up and to fix problems. That access is granted by you and can be revoked by you, and your data is never copied into our systems.
Where does the name come from?
Irish ard, meaning high, and Latin dux, meaning leader.
