Fractional AI Operations

We run your AI for you, every month.

What it is

Your outsourced AI operations team. We run your agents and automations, monitor that they're working, fix what breaks, improve what's working, and surface the next opportunity, every month. You get outcomes and a written report, not software to manage.

What it solves

Most businesses set up an AI tool or two, then watch them gather dust. Prompts go stale, something breaks, nobody fixes it, and the team quietly goes back to the old way. Industry research consistently finds that most AI pilots stall without someone actively looking after them. The build isn't the hard part. Keeping it working is. You don't have time to babysit it, and you shouldn't have to.

Where to start: the $500 AI Audit

Not sure what you've got or what's possible? A 2-hour deep-dive into your tools and workflows. You get the top 3 automation opportunities and a written AI Readiness Report you own, whether or not you go further. It also tells us which tier fits you (and if none do, we say so).

Common questions

Why not just run it myself?
You can. Everything we build is documented and yours. The retainer is for owners who'd rather spend those hours on the business. If your setup is simple and stable, we'll tell you a retainer is overkill.
What if you don't find enough to do in a month?
Hours roll into improvement work. There is always a next automation, a prompt to sharpen, a report to make more useful. The monthly report shows exactly where the hours went.
Do you only manage things you built?
No, we take over existing tools and automations too. The AI Audit maps what you have first, so we never quote blind.
