The premise

You did not get into your business to wrangle spreadsheets, copy-paste listings, write follow-up emails, or chase invoices at 11pm.

An AI agent on your laptop can do most of that if someone shows up, sets it up, teaches you how to steer it, and stays on the phone when something breaks.

Setup first. Confidence by the end.

We come to your shop, kitchen, office, or kitchen table. We install Claude Cowork or Hermes directly on your computer: no cloud middleman, no $99/month SaaS to forget about.

Then we sit with you and build ten automations of your choosing. The ones you actually do every day. The boring ones. As we build, we teach you how to prompt them, check their work, modify them, and stop them.

That's the flat fee. No retainer, no platform tax. If you need us again next month, we charge by the hour, like a plumber.

Who we work with

People who own their own thing, and would like to keep owning it.

What you get

After our visit, your computer can work, and you can steer it.

We install Claude on your laptop. Then we teach it to do the things you do every day, while teaching you what to ask, what to approve, and what to keep an eye on.

Tell it what you want. Walk away. Come back to it done.Describe the result: a tidy folder, a report, a draft reply to every review, and Claude figures out how to get there.
Do the same thing every morning, without being asked."Pull yesterday's sales, summarize my inbox, and put it on my desk by 7am." Tell it once. It just keeps doing it.
Turn a pile of stuff into a finished thing.A folder of receipts becomes a spreadsheet. A stack of meeting notes becomes a one-page update. A messy Downloads folder gets sorted.
Take orders from your phone.Text it from the car. It works on your laptop while you drive. You read the finished version when you sit down.
