AI Automation That Removes Real Work — Not Just Adds Tools
Automation that uses AI where AI helps and stops where it doesn't. I map your highest-cost manual processes, build automations that handle them reliably, and document them so they don't quietly break.
How AI automation works in practice
Most automation projects fail one of two ways: they try to automate everything (and break under their own complexity), or they bolt AI onto every step (and become unreliable). I build automations that use AI exactly where AI is the right tool — classification, summarization, extraction, drafting, decisioning — and use deterministic logic everywhere else.
The work spans sales (lead enrichment, routing, follow-up drafting), operations (intake, approvals, document handling), finance (reconciliation, expense classification, AR follow-up), support (ticket triage, response drafting, escalation), and internal ops (reporting, alerting, summarization).
Everything ships with monitoring, error handling, and a human-in-the-loop where the cost of a wrong answer is high. No black boxes. No fragile no-code stacks that nobody understands six months later.
- Process mapping to find the highest-cost manual work
- AI-powered classification, extraction, drafting, decisioning
- Integrations across CRM, email, finance, support, internal tools
- Monitoring, error handling, human-in-the-loop where needed
- Documentation so automations don't quietly rot
- Cost tracking per workflow so ROI stays visible

Examples of this work
Anonymized examples of engagements that fit this scope. Names and identifying details withheld.
Owner-operated services — intake to scheduled
Inbound leads were going to a shared inbox and dropping. Built an automation that classified intent, enriched contact data, drafted a personalized reply, and scheduled qualified leads directly. Speed-to-response went from hours to minutes.
B2B — sales follow-up automation
Sales team was losing deals to slow follow-up. Built AI-drafted follow-ups triggered by CRM events, queued for rep review, and sent on approval. Throughput per rep increased without sacrificing quality.
Operations — document handling at scale
Company received hundreds of supplier documents per week. Built an extraction + classification pipeline that pulled key fields, validated against rules, and routed exceptions. Eliminated days of manual entry per week.
