See what you would save with AI automation

One repetitive task never looks like a problem. Ten minutes here, a quarter of an hour there. Put in three numbers and see what that routine costs your business over a full year. Then check which part of it AI-powered automation can take over.

Your manual task

min
a week
per hour

An office employee realistically costs 25 to 40 dollars an hour once employer costs are in. If you do it yourself, use your own rate, often 100 dollars and up.

What does it cost?

Hours of manual work per month18 hrs
Cost per month$631
Cost per year$7,577

This one task costs the company $7,577 a year. The cost comes back every year. An automation is something you pay for once.

What do we usually automate?

Tasks that come back every day or every week in service businesses. A psychologist, a law firm, a language school, a dietitian, a training company, the pattern is always the same. AI takes over the steps you do by hand and the ones that need reading and understanding. It can read emails, pull the details out of files, fill in spreadsheets, report the results, and much more.

Orders from email land in your system

Today

Someone opens the inbox, retypes the details into a spreadsheet and checks that nothing was missed. Mistakes and omissions creep in.

After automation

AI reads the message and pulls out the details, they land in the system, and the person in charge confirms with one click, or the whole thing runs fully automatically.

Bank statements and transfers, analyzed

Today

Every day someone downloads the statement, opens a spreadsheet and hunts for who paid and for what.

After automation

The automation matches payments to orders and invoices, and you only look at the ones that need a decision.

Answers to repeat questions

Today

“How much is a consultation?”, “Anything free on Saturday?” - the same questions on email, Messenger and SMS, answered by hand between appointments.

After automation

AI replies straight away based on your price list, calendar or written-down processes. You step in only when a client wants something unusual.

A daily picture of your business, no data gathering

Today

How many appointments, how many cancellations, who comes back and who disappeared - knowing that would mean sitting down to count, so nobody does.

After automation

Every day you get a short summary: appointments, cancellations, clients who have not been back in a while. No spreadsheet required.

What does an implementation look like?

Business process automation does not start with a revolution. It starts with one task.

Frequently asked questions

Automating a single process, like reading orders out of emails, is usually 800 to 2,000 dollars, paid once. An automation that connects several systems, like your bank, invoicing and client database, runs 2,000 to 5,000 dollars. You get an exact quote after a free call where we pick the task to automate. You pay once, and the saving from the calculator comes back every year.

Run it through the calculator above. Example: a task takes 15 minutes and comes back 20 times a week, at 30 dollars an hour. That is 5 hours a week, about 7,800 dollars a year. A 2,000 dollar implementation pays back in about three months, and from then on the saving stays in your business every year.

It can, but not from day one. At the start a person approves every operation before anything reaches your client. Once the AI's work has been verified and tuned to your processes, you can hand selected decisions over to it entirely, like answering simple questions or entering data into the system. You always set how much it does on its own.

Usually the ones that come back every day or every week: retyping orders from emails, matching bank transfers to client payments, answering repeat questions and daily summaries for the owner. Any task you do the same way at least a few times a week is a good candidate.

Automating one process usually takes 2 to 4 weeks from the first call to going live. At the start it runs alongside your normal work, so you risk nothing. Larger implementations that connect several systems are planned in stages, and every stage ships working.

No. We plug the automation into what you already use: your inbox, spreadsheets, calendar, booking system or invoicing software. Your team works the way it always has, just without the retyping.

Treat the calculator above as your ROI calculator. Enter how long one repetition takes, how often you repeat it and the hourly cost, and the result is what the task costs you per year. Set that against the one-time implementation cost and you see after how many months the automation starts earning.
