How can a local business use AI without losing control?

Use assistants where they save real time: answering website questions, drafting replies and sorting incoming email and texts, with a person approving anything that matters. They run on the Basic plan at $499 a month per site, and a build with the website and the assistants starts at $4,000.

How the work runs

AI drafts. A person decides.

Every engagement follows the same route: what is going wrong, what we build to change it, where a rule or a person decides, and what you have at the end.

Human approval gate route A single question signal enters a bounded glass chamber, where a draft is prepared and stays inside. The signal stops at a closed copper gate where a person stands. The onward route is dashed and unlit until that person approves. 01020304
  1. The friction

    Questions arrive faster than anyone can answer

    The same questions come in after hours and between jobs, and every reply waits until someone is free.

  2. What we build

    Scoped AI, set up with what you approve

    An assistant that works only from content you have reviewed: your services, hours and policies, and nothing else.

  3. The boundary

    It stops at the approval gate

    Anything published under your name waits for a person. Live conversations say they are AI, answer, take details and book. They cannot agree a price or make a commitment, and they hand off when unsure.

  4. The outcome

    Faster answers, human decisions

    Routine questions answered quickly; prices, commitments and judgment calls stay with your team.

What we set up

Three assistants, each with a limit

Website chat assistant

Answers routine questions and takes details, day or night.

  • Configured with your services, hours and prices
  • Says it's an AI assistant at the start of every chat
  • Takes the visitor's name, phone number and what they need
  • Hands the conversation to a person when it should
  • Books into your calendar when the visitor is ready
  • We read the conversations every week

The boundaryEscalates to a person rather than guessing when it isn't sure.

Voice agent

Answers inbound calls and follows up on the ones nobody could take.

  • Answers with your business name and says it's an AI assistant
  • Asks your qualifying questions and books appointments
  • Transcribes every call to your CRM
  • Texts your team a summary of each call
  • Follows up a missed call with a text straight away
  • Transfers to a person whenever the caller asks

The boundaryCannot agree a price or change an order, and transfers live on request.

Content drafting

First drafts of posts and articles, for your team to edit and approve.

  • Blog article drafts
  • Google Business Profile post drafts
  • Social media captions
  • Email newsletter copy
  • Checked for facts and tone by a person
  • Queued as drafts, never published on its own

The boundaryEverything it writes is a draft until someone on your team publishes it.

Setup process

How we set it up

  1. 01

    Business setup

    We configure the assistant with your services, prices, FAQs, policies and the way you talk to customers. You review all of it before launch.

  2. 02

    Integration

    We add the chat assistant to your website and connect your phone system. You approve everything before it goes live.

  3. 03

    Testing

    We test it with ordinary questions, awkward ones and the cases where it should hand off, and fix what we find before launch.

  4. 04

    Monitor and improve

    We read the conversations every week and adjust the answers based on what real customers ask.

Why you can trust it

The rules are written down, and you can check them.

We publish how we use AI, what it may and may not do, and where a person decides. The same rule-bound approach already routes quote requests for a Bay Area client.

Questions

AI integration questions

Will customers know they're talking to an AI?

Yes. It says it's an AI assistant at the start of every conversation, by chat or by phone, every time. That is our policy, and it is in line with California's bot disclosure law (SB 1001). Customers can ask for a person at any point.

What if the AI gives a wrong answer?

We set it up to be cautious: if it isn't sure, it hands the conversation to a person instead of guessing. You approve everything it works from before launch, and we correct answers when the weekly review turns up a mistake.

Can the AI book appointments in my calendar?

Yes. The chat assistant and the voice agent can both book into Google Calendar, Outlook or the scheduling tool you already use.

How is this different from a basic chatbot widget?

A basic chatbot follows a fixed script of if-then branches. Ours uses a large language model configured with your business information, so it can handle questions phrased in different ways. Your data is not used to train the model.

What does it cost?

The assistants run on our Basic plan, which includes digital marketing and AI automation: $499/mo per site. A build that includes the website, marketing and the assistants starts at $4,000. We quote the setup, fixed, before any work starts.

Do I need to manage the AI myself?

No. We handle setup, updates and monitoring as part of your monthly plan. We read the conversations every week and send you anything that needs a decision.
