I quote after the call, once we both know what is worth building. There are no published prices, and you see the price before any work starts.

AI consulting & automation for small businesses

Less busywork. Lower costs. Clearer numbers.

Q: Do you do bookkeeping?

No. I build data dashboards that show what is happening with income, expenses and leads. Your accountant still does the books and taxes.

I'm Griffin. I connect the tools you already use so information moves on its own, cut the software you don't need, and build simple dashboards that show where to grow. AI only where it pays its way; you only see what needs your yes.

workflow.livetoday · your business 09:41

Diagram in two versions. With an AI layer: dozens of inputs from web forms, orders and payments, invoices, spreadsheets, databases and site-health checks flow into an AI layer that sorts, drafts and filters them into your customer list, dashboards, an approval queue and alerts. With plain rules: checkout, payments, forms, spreadsheets, databases and site health run through rules and automatic checks into customer tags, automations, course access and a dashboard, with human checkpoints on the way. In both, only two items reach you.

What you get

20 hrs of tedious but necessary work, down to minutes or a few hours.

The detailed, rule-following work that has to be done right every time. Example from a typical small-business workload, not a guarantee. Where you land depends on your tools, your rules and how much you want to approve yourself.

Honest AI

AI where it pays. Plain rules where it doesn't.

AI isn't always the answer, and that's the point. Plenty of what I build is made with AI but runs on plain rules, automatic checks and your sign-off.

01Built with AI, runs without it: no monthly AI bill.Rules and connections between your apps (APIs) do the moving and checking. Nothing guesses behind your back.
02Where AI helps, it drafts and you approve.Replies, sorting and summaries, with spending caps set up front.

Departures

Automation that leaves on time, without you.

Each recurring job gets a time, a destination and a status. Once it says AUTOMATED, it runs on its own.

Recent work

Real systems, running today.

The two builds with the most moving parts, then a few more. Names left out on purpose; the details are real.

Featured build · partner recruitment

A ranked list of the right partners every morning, with the first email drafted.

Finding partners used to mean someone scrolling ten marketplaces and social sites by hand. Now that search runs overnight: each creator's audience, what they sell and how to reach them, ranked on what actually predicted earnings for past partners. The day starts with a shortlist, not a blank spreadsheet.

The first email is drafted in the owner's own voice, learned from their past emails, with nothing invented. Nothing sends until a person says so, nobody gets contacted twice, and the owner hears about it if a job stops.

5,000+creators found and scored
7,000+social channels watched

Featured build · launch autopilot

A whole sale set up from one file, and checked before a customer sees it.

Launching a sale used to mean hours of clicking through 17 systems: checkouts, purchase emails, customer tags, course access, captions, countdown timers and more. One wrong setting and a buyer paid but got nothing. Now the products, tiers and prices are listed once, and the app sets up the rest, checkout images and translated captions included.

Before anything goes live, it checks that email countdowns match the real deadlines and test-buys every checkout option to confirm the right items and totals. What took a day of careful clicking is now a guided run, repeated every launch.

Customer data

Five checkout systems, one customer list.

Every customer since 2014, from five different checkout systems, merged and de-duplicated into one list (a CRM-style database) that feeds the help desk.

Sync: Every 10 minutes
Used by: The support team, right in their help desk

Social content

A social calendar that drafts itself.

A spreadsheet schedule turns into on-brand graphics and drafted captions. A person approves each one before it's scheduled, and the drafts learn from their edits.

AI does: First drafts in the brand's voice
People do: Approve every post

Something like this in your business? Thirty minutes, no slides, and you leave with 2 or 3 things worth automating.

Itinerary · 4 stops

How it works: from tedious work to back in control.

A short route with clear stops. Before anything gets built, you see the plan, the price and what you'll get.

STOP 03Build
Connect & build
I build only what the plan earns. Usually some mix of:
- Your tools, talking to each otherConnections between your apps (APIs), so orders, forms and payments pass information along on their own. No more copying between tabs.
- One customer list from everywhereEvery store, checkout and form merged once and kept in sync, in one customer list (CRM) you can trust.
- Drafts in your voice, sent only with your yesReplies, quotes and posts, prepared and waiting for approval.
- Graphics and content in batchesOn-brand posts, product images and PDFs, dozens at a time.
- Dashboards that answer one questionMoney in and out, new leads, launch checks. Not bookkeeping or tax work; your accountant still does that.
- Small apps for the job your software almost doesA portal, a calculator, an internal tool, built to fit.
STOP 04Hand-off

Your pilot

Hi, I'm Griffin. Designing for the web since 2003.

I started as a designer, became a developer, and today I build and run AI agents, automations and web apps every day for real businesses. My clients have been all over the map: the US, Australia, India and beyond. And I've worked from more than 60 countries along the way. You work with me directly, start to finish. No hand-offs to a junior, no agency layers.

See the work: ten skills with the proof behind them, and 20+ apps in eleven kinds

Questions

Before you book.

Is my business too small for this?

Usually not. If you or your team spend a few hours a week copying, chasing or re-typing, there's likely something worth automating. The call will tell us.

What does it cost?

Each build gets a fixed quote after the call, once we both know what's worth building. You see the price before any work starts, and there's no hourly meter running. If you ask for more than we agreed, I quote the extra up front in half-day or full-day blocks, and nothing extra starts without your yes.

Will there be monthly costs?

Builds that run on plain rules and connections between your apps (APIs) have little or no ongoing cost beyond tools you already pay for. AI features have usage costs; I set spending caps and tell you the expected range up front. Optional maintenance plans are available for a low monthly fee: I keep everything running smoothly, make sure nothing breaks when the outside services it connects to change their APIs, and can add a few small features along the way.

Is my data safe?

We agree on what each tool can see and where your data lives. Nothing goes out to customers without your approval unless you choose that. Your data can live on my servers for a low monthly fee, or on a server you choose, control and pay for. With a maintenance plan, I'll need access to that server.

Am I locked in to you?

You get plain-English notes on how everything works, and we agree up front on who hosts it and what happens if we stop working together. Every app I build also has a searchable help section, so your team can look things up without calling me.

What does “first class” mean here?

You work with me directly from the first call to hand-off: priority replies (within one business day), white-glove setup, plain-English notes for your team, and no upsell trolley. Every client gets a first class ticket; there is no economy.

Can you fix a slow website too?

Yes. I tune sites for speed, search and AI-search visibility, so the people asking ChatGPT for “a good dentist nearby” find you. Start with a free website health check.

Do you do bookkeeping?

No. I build data dashboards that show what's happening with income, expenses and leads. Your accountant still does the books and taxes.

Less busywork. Lower costs. Clearer numbers.
