What is an AI agent, and how is it different from a chatbot? +
A chatbot answers a question and waits. An AI agent does the whole task: it reads the request, decides what to do, acts inside your systems — books the job, sends the follow-up, updates the record, files the document — and only involves a human when it should. It's the difference between a talking FAQ and an autonomous worker.
How much does a custom AI agent cost? +
Every agent is scoped to the specific workflow it automates, so pricing is tied to the deliverable, not a fixed menu. Most engagements start with a paid discovery and scoping phase, followed by a build priced by scope. We only build agents that pay for themselves — if a workflow won't return more than it costs to automate, we tell you before you spend a dollar. You get a transparent estimate after your free evaluation.
How long until my AI agent is live? +
We ship one focused, high-value agent first, and it's typically live within about 30 days — not a 90-day "discovery phase." You'll see it working on your real data, not a slide about it, then we expand from there once it's earning its keep.
Will the AI agent integrate with the tools I already use? +
Yes — that's the core of the build. Your agent lives inside the tools you already run on: your CRM, inbox, phone, calendar, scheduling software, and accounting tools like QuickBooks. Integration and data access are where most generic AI tools break, so it's exactly what we engineer for from the first line.
How do you keep AI agents accurate, secure, and compliant? +
We ground the agent in your actual data so it answers from your knowledge base, not the open internet; add guardrails that validate outputs and refuse anything below a confidence threshold; and keep a human in the loop for high-stakes actions. Data flows through systems you control with least-privilege access — the opposite of pasting client information into a public chatbot.
Do I own the AI agent, its code, and the data it uses? +
Yes. We build on standard, code-based infrastructure and hand you ownership: your accounts, your data, documented systems, and code that runs on your cloud — not a script that only runs on a freelancer's laptop and not a proprietary no-code tool that holds your workflows hostage. You're free to keep maintenance with us or bring it in-house.
I tried AI already and it didn't work — why is this different? +
That's the most common reason people call us, and it's usually not an AI problem — it's a build-and-ownership problem. DIY tools get you 80% of a demo and then go brittle the moment they touch real customers and cross systems. Freelancers deliver code that disappears at handoff. We integrate across your whole stack, engineer for reliability, and stay on the hook for the outcome after launch.
Are you Atlanta-based? Do you work with clients elsewhere? +
Yes — we're based in Atlanta, GA, and we build AI agents for businesses across the United States remotely. For Atlanta-area companies, on-site discovery sessions are available on request.
